The Father of 'Automation' Dies At 79: John Diebold
Computer Visionary John Diebold Dies At 79. "Automation" became Diebold's main theme as he promoted the early use of computers at large U.S. companies. The rest is history and we can thank all sorts of today's technology to him.
"People say I coined this word (automation,)" Diebold told a Harvard biographer. "But I don't claim to have invented the word, just the use of it." He wrote a popular book on the phenomenon and, it was entitled--what else?-- "Automation." Diebold went on to create different consulting and investment firms that had varying degrees of success and failure. Many of his concepts seemed to be ahead of their time and took hold later. His companies had some success automating bank transactions and medical records.
