YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
Age of Commuters

In q short span of time
electronic computers have be-
come an essential tool of
industry. This Is q fact Of our
life, but Is 1t q cause for en-
thusiasTn or fears?
! discussed this vital question
with Paul B. Wishart, president
Of Minneapolis Honeywell Reg
uulators Co.. leading designer
and manufacturer Of electronic
con1puters.
Question -PORTER: How
will the daily lives Of average
Americans be affected by the
"electronic brains" being in
stalled to automate business?
Answer - WIsHART: Most
people already are feeling the
impact. ''Electronic brains" are
being installed by hundreds
OF companies. government
agencies. and universities to
bring unprecedented speed to
such divergent operations as
issuing electric light bills,
taking the census, calculating
taxes. and designing and
guiding space vehicles.
The time is close when
computers will play a role In
the life Of every American who
pays telephone or public utility
bills. writes or receives bank
checks. pays insurance pre-
miums. is taxed or is on the
payroll of one of the larger
companies. or works for the
government. This is so because
the computers rapidly are
taking over the traditionally
tedious and time-consuming
jobs Of billing, taxing, sorting
checks. and record keeping that
heretofore have been handled
by clerks.
improvements Indicated
Question - PORTER: What
difference does it make to the
average American If all these
operations are handled elec-
ironically or manually?
Answer - WISHART: Quite
a lot Of difference. Electronic
computers, for example, give
public utilities, banks, insur-
ance companies and other Or
ganizations an improved tool
for record keeping. The result
is your accounts will be more
accurately kept and in general
you will receive better and
faster service.
Electronic computers, too,
because Of their speed. and
accuracy, will enable federal.

were added between 1882 and

Effect on Jobs
Question PORTER: You
said that the computers are
doing many jobs that previ-
ously were handled by clerks.
Won't that have an effect on
employment?
Answer WISHART: The
fear is sometimes expressed
that electronic data processing
will throw some people out Of
work. That may be so in some
instances, but at best it Is a
Short-run view. In our expert
ence installation Of computers
has not caused serious employ
ment dislocations.
In. virtually all cases, the
installation of computers has
resulted in an important
upgrading in the skills and Job
status Of a large segment of
the office force.
Question PORTER: In
other words, the electronic
computers are another step
toward making us more pro-
ductive?
Answer - WISHART: That
is very true. Through all
history, mans ability to raise
his standard of living has
come through the extension of
his ability to produce more
goods and services by the in
vention and use of tools.
