The Utterances of a Peculiar Mindset

Here is a paragraph from our ISS book. Found it interesting so sharing with you.

It is difficult to determine when the first computer crime involving a computer actally occured. The computer has been around in some form since the abacus, which is known to have existed way back to 3500 B.C. In Japan, China and India. In 1801, profit motives encouraged Joseph Jacquard, a textile manufacturer in France, to design the forerunner of the computer card. This device allowed the repetition of a series of steps in the weaving of special fabrics. So concerened were Jacquard's employees with the threat to their traditional employment and livelihood that act of sabotage were committed to discourage Mr. Jacquard from further use of the new technology. A computer crime had been committed.
