In an article entitled Program yourself Richard Clapp (Chelsea School of Art Graphics) recorded that the first microprocessor had been developed by Intel in 1970 and the portable computer had, by 1988, become a substitute for the typewriter and calculator in businesses and as a design tool in art departments. He aimed to outline how a typical portable computer worked and perhaps to reveal areas of computer intelligence. A subsequent article by E.J. Calvert ((St. Edward's Hospital, Cheddleton) and R.C. Waterfall (UMIST) described The application of microprocessor technology to psychological testing. The presentation created a more relaxed atmosphere for the subject, eliminated the tedious repetition for the psychologist and provided much more reliable results.
