Author

Norman Sanders is a retired computer programmer from the very beginning of the modern computer era. He helped forge the link between computer manufacturers and the organisations that gradually, and sometimes despite themselves, embraced the benefits computers brought. He is a mathematician from Cambridge University, and his involvement in this new cultural and industrial revolution took him to a wide span of organisations, including the University of British Columbia and the Norwegian Technical University, Boeing, UNIVAC and the United Nations. He was also influential in bringing the computer to bear on British industry through his friendship with Prime Minister Sir Harold Wilson. His career has been that of a practitioner coping with the ecological intrusion of this radically new technology in otherwise traditional enterprises; essentially transforming what had been originally intended solely as an automatic arithmetic device into a tool for the world’s factories.
