[SIGCIS-Members] The Communicators

[Schmitt, Martin]

Dear Evan & SIGCIS,

I am impressed by the diversity of suggestions from the community, also about that German book about roboters.
Thinking about the German discourse, this paper by Konrad Zuse from 1939 could be of interest:
Zuse, Konrad: „Calculator for Technical and Scientific Calculations Designed According to a Theoretical Plan“ 1939.

Take care and best wishes from Darmstadt,
Martin

I’m interested in a new-to-me research angle: the people who changed computing by writing about it.

Lovelace comes to mind. So do Vannevar Bush and Edmund Berkeley.


  1.  Who else should I consider from prior to 1965? (I have the microcomputer generation covered.)
  2.  Are there existing papers on this subject?
