How do you figure? ?The early history of digital
computing, especially in
the 1940s - 1950s, is dominated by military installations.
But past 1955 or so - what gets mentioned? SAGE, of course, and often
a passing mention that ARPAnet was sort of military, but what else?
Not much gets mentioned beyond these.
Of course, some of it is still quite classified (crypto), which does
not help matters. And the Soviet stuff is almost completely
undiscovered.
