He worked for a tractor building company, Massey Ferguson, which purchased a computer for accounting. He recalled, "It took up almost an entire room and used punched paper cards to load programs."

The Writing is on the Wall; We Need Decentralized Social Networks!
December 22nd, 2014 by Adam B. Levine Facebook represents the ultimate success that can be achieved by a technology company in the current paradigm; publicly traded with a valuation in the billions and broad global use of the service.

Bitcoin in Africa
December 18th, 2014 by
John Light This is a guest post written by Gibson Gibz, founder of the Kenyan Bitcoin startup Bitsoko.Africa is really in the gray area as far as bitcoin is concerned, that aside there is a lot going on in the bitcoin space and a noticeable opportunity for business and investment.
