But herein lies the crux of the matter. Today's generation think the computer has revolutionized the world, that we are doing things now that have never been done and that is 100% arrogant horsecrap. Go find an early Oakland engine and look at what those engineers did WITHOUT CNC. And, evidently, we have forgotten/ignored or are ignorant of what was accomplished by THIS country WITHOUT computers during WWI and WWII.
The computer HAS revolutionized the world, for good or bad is the opinion of the person. Most older generations would say bad. Most things that have been accomplished in the past could of been aided by a computer for a quicker POSSIBLY better outcome. One of the greatest accomplishments of WW2 involved a different country, creating and using a computer.
We might not be at the point that CNC programs and simulations come close to what a hand porter can accomplish but we will one day as long as there is money to be made.
