Two of the most popular programs produced during the early generation of television were I Love Lucy (1951-7) and The Andy Griffith Show (1960-8). Looking back at these programs from over a half century after they originally aired, it may seem easy to combine the two as one artifact of “a simpler time” in American life and entertainment history.

The impact that the Second World War had had on him was clearly indicated through the nature of his works. Mailer ...

A transaction processing system (TPS) is “an information processing system for business transactions involving the collection, modification, and retrieval of all transaction data” (“Transaction Process System,” 2012). Its history can be considered as intertwining with that of database systems (Krishnan, 2010).
