History Repeats Itself

October 28th, 2004 by Joe Levi

Via Neowin.net, back in 1952, “Back to a presidential contest too close to call, a nation worried it is vulnerable to attack, and a single company dominating computing,” and there was a “super computer” which statistically predected the election. That computer was called “Univac” and had less processing power than today’s Hallmark musical greeting cards.

And now we find ourselves again on the eve of a presidential contest too close to call, a nation worried it is vulnerable to attack, and a single company dominating computing.

Who was it that said “those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it”?
