"“Why
not educate at least a tiny portion of the population to the beauty of
the machine — something in which all parts moved in just the right
relationship to produce the desired results?” he wrote in the 1968 in
Harpsichord magazine article.
If
people understood their machines, he said, — be they computers,
typewriters or harpsichords — “they would not stand in awe of them.”"

It has been 50 years since classified job ads went unisex. So where are all the female C. E. O.s?I agree that access to a pipeline that may not exist does not help much.

That society is almost exclusively male.
