Errors in Computing History
Robert Lee Glass, Frank F. Land · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 2018
The history of computing in practice is barely 70 years old. The field of computing theory/academe is barely 60 years old, if we start counting with the advent of computer science and information systems courses/degrees in the 1960s. Yet computing historians have gotten a number of things dreadfully wrong in that short period of time.
