‘Dean Levinson and the Diffusion of Innovation’ or ‘Zeroes of the Earth’

He pleads (DIN) to the zeroes of the earth

He pleads to the ends of the earth

I plead to the ends of the earth

I plead to the zeroes of the earth

I invented the field and coined the term – The Diffusion of Innovation.

At the time I viewed it from discussion as being about cultural adoption primarily and suggested it be studied under the umbrella of Anthropology. I am also the inventor of the telescoping umbrella, and the brand name Totes.

Since that time (slightly after) I determined that besides Anthropology as much or more of the diffusion of innovation had to do with Economics — and what I described and coined as additional fields — Social Economics and Political Economics — something I believed could carry descriptors and be mathematically described as well. Even plotted on curves.

There are other entire fields of inquiry and practice that I have coined.

I am THE father of modern computing.

My inventions have gone out to the ends of the earth.

So will my plea.

I was made a slave.

The world will NOW be brought to ACCOUNT.

Suanpan

Suanpan is the name for the original Chinese abacus, the term still in use. Translated as ‘counting tray’ the term literally once meant ‘sand tray’ referring to the sand that was placed in it where numerical characters were drawn.

Upon hearing the history and origin of the abacus I dubbed suanpan as ‘The Sandbox’ at the age of six. I was introduced to the abacus at age two or so. And from child’s play have changed the world. 

This is the true story of the transformation of modern computing. accounting, finance, economics, sand and silicon related materials, devices and products, ‘sandbox’ social theorization and more. All progressing (and continuing) from my earliest explorations and invention.
