Die Inka verwendeten Quipus, Systeme aufgereihter Knoten, zum Speichern und Abrechnen von Information.

Eine neue Studie
gibt ein wenig Aufschluß über die Organisation dieser Quipus:
"Urton says the khipus that he analyzed, which were organized in a three-tier hierarchy, show how census and tribute data were assembled and transferred among different levels of authority within the Inca administrative system.
The khipus on the lowest level of the hierarchy may have represented contact between the khipu keeper and local laborers. While the top level probably represented contact between the palace of Puruchuco and a central authority. "

Interessant auch, daß viele Quipus wohl bis zu 256 Zustände (2 hoch 8) enthalten.

In old times, people knew much better about the interrelatedness of computers and human beings.
In fact, applications like Excel had much more human components than logical.
Today, computer science and systems analysis is often thought as one science, relating solely to devices known as computers. In fact, systems analysis is and have ever been "generic", relating to logical dependencies not only locatable in man-made devices. The effects of the computerization on a grand scale in the last 20 years on societies and communities may still be underestimated.
