The half life of a system during this phase was roughly equal to the publication cycle, and many documented systems were no Ionger operational by the time they were reported. By the third phase-from mid 1975 to date-computer technology was able to support the information processing requirements of the medical community. Consequently 1975 presented a watershed in the scientific literature. Reports were now available that evaluated 5 years' operational experience with systems. Although most applications required some outside funding, systems now were produced that were fully supported by operational revenues.
The programs and data were not transportable, the new operating systems were complex, the human interfaces had changed. If there had been no investment in the older technology, everyone would have approved the improvements. But, even though Computers were still in only their second decade, there already was an investment in obsolescence. The result was that the industry vowed never again to subject its users to a dramatic change. Consequently, there is no dividing line between the third- and fourth-generation computers.
1. 3. 3. The Intellectual Foundation of Computing By 1950 the principal concepts of electronic computing had been established. Although new technology would dramatically alter capability and functionality, virtually all that followed in the next three decades has its roots in the 1940s. It is useful, therefore, to understand these foundations. One must begin by at least mentioning George Boole (1815-1864). This Seifeducated Englishman was the founder of modern symbolic logic. By expressing logical concepts in mathematical form, he reduced logic to a propositional calculus-now called Boolean algebra.
