here, rather than [IT]'s use for the development of the world's first Airborne Radar, utilising the Magnatron Technology which Churchill & co brought with them, to their meeting with President Roosevelt, which had been brokered by Vannevar Bush…
raphy,
geography, hydrology, geology and glaciology, plant ecology and
vegetation history — to mention only some — has made it impossible
to work... with common and well established definitions and methods.
" Scientists in different fields might use standards so different,
he said, "that comparisons between the results have been hardly
possible." Never forgetting that the the Civil Aviation Act that governs the
issuing of an Air Traffic Controller's Licence to a qualified holder,
opens with a statement within that licence that states... "Nothing within these rules and regulations will preclude the
licence holder from taking any action deemed necessary, on
the basis of safety first and expedition second" ... WHICH inevitably required an intricate understanding of the
integrated multi-disciplinary scientific nature of the the task
at hand, particularly with regard to and respect for the
Joint Civil/Military Upper Airspace Training that was then
required of the very first intake of Military & Civilian personnel. .

I CAN ONLY SUPPOSE IN 4D HINDSIGHT ...
That [IT] had been as a result of Winston Churchill's initiative to
introduce the IDEA of utilising the 10cm Magnetron technology
to Vannevar Bush, that the MIT Rad Lab was subsequently
established to develop airborne radar systems which would
inevitably influence the outcome of WWII.

GCE 'A' Levels in Maths Pure and Maths Applied as well as Physics and ART • and I well remember his explanation of the IDEA of a MEMEX, which would take the form of an electronically computerised version of a rolodex device; and so [IT] was that having considered the idea of joining a BOAC pilot training programme, it transpired that I was invited to be one of the first cadets, straight from Grammar School, to be trained as Ministry of Aviation Air Traffic Controllers • and so [IT] was that I began my training, by way of learning the concept of systems analysis on an IBM 64K Mainframe Computer, that then transmogrified into a familiarisation with Digital Equipment Corporation PD11s and my subsequent IDEA of utilising the AFTN for the purpose of an enhanced radar-handover capability, between Air Traffic Control Centres, during my secondment to Eurocontrol, and subsequent return to the CAA at West Drayton.

eens, and windows, and "hypertext", clickable links in text that could take you from document to document, the basis of the modern web - and Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, who made the source code of his creation publicly available, and never made a penny from it himself - it is very sad to reflect on the state of play of all things that constitute the cloud, in the context of the "modern democratic" concept - OF the people, FOR the People, By the PEOPLE... ... and [BE]ing drawn down the rabbit hole
