Re: Algorithms beyond programming

The moon landing was 1969, 40 years ago. Fortran, basic, Cobol, RPG, assembler existed. The IBM 1130 was used to simulate the heating of the LEM. Forbin the Colossus project used IBM 620s. C was not around but B and BCPL were. APL, BAL were around. IBM 360 was 1963. I'll bet the early incarnations of Forth were available in 1969.

What passes as computer speak is nothing short of ebonics or should I say e-bonics.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
