Processing and Analysis

Now that the data have been collected, they must be analyzed and processed. Computers are wonderful instruments to process data. We take them for granted now, but some major professors did not have a computer as an undergraduate. It is only since the 1980s that computers have become common fixtures on professors' desks and only since the 1990s that we had the Internet and email. Ask an old-timer about punching cards and floppy disks, and watch them smile.
