Bowker Biography:
Charles Clark Richmond

Charles Clark Richmond’s 8 decades of life have been filled with learning, assimilating, presenting and teaching fresh ideas. He began his long association with electronic computers in 1956 at which time he recognized a future need for teaching non-technical people how to use these powerful machines. He and Carl Perry Worthy Ellsworth began exploring ways to explain technical things and complex concepts in ways that non-technical people might understand them. It wasn’t until he received his doctorate in Instructional Technology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2000 that he commenced work on bringing computer literacy to those who had never worked with computers in school.

This text was assembled after almost a decade of teaching computer skills to students whose ages ranged from 21 to 94. He used his doctoral research to assemble and test his concepts about how best to present this information to people who had been denied the chance to work with these machines during their developmental years. He has continued to assemble, present, and analyze new ideas about bringing these skills to those who need it most … Those who need it to keep or get jobs, those who need it to keep in touch with their loved ones, and those who need it to keep their minds active.

This book is just the beginning, the starting place for the uninitiated.
