Company History Jackson Hewitt was founded in 1982 by John Hewitt, who was a former employee of H&R Block. Hewitt was a college dropout, who worked his way up to the position of regional manager after starting with H&R Block in 1969. Mr. Hewitt felt that tax preparation could be improved by the use of computers, so he and his father created a program that would streamline the client interview process. Hewitt tried to sell his software to H&R Block but they would not purchase it so Mr. Hewitt and his wife decided to go into business. They gathered a dozen investors and purchased six-location owned by Mel Jackson's Tax Service of Norfolk, Virginia in 1982, later renaming it Jackson Hewitt.

I chose to place offices in NY - North America and Tokyo- Asia because both brands had the greatest demand in both of these locations.

Synthesizing Bowerman's attention to quality running shoes and the burgeoning opinion that high-quality/low cost products could be produced in Japan and shipped to the U.S. for distribution, Knight found his market niche. Shallenberger thought the idea was interesting, but certainly no business jackpot. Nothing more became of Knight's project but that’s where he got the idea for his company from.

Technology can have effects in how we communicate, socialize, enforce laws, produce anything, influence politics and even change something as natural as sleep. Yes, I do agree with Sclove’s idea that technology is polypotent. The year 1984 was the year I graduated high school and was the first year that I touched what we now refer to as a personal computer (PC). Computer Science was offered for the first time in my school and there were only about 30 units in a school of 2500 students.

The author explains the advantages computer use brought to a young accountant at that time. He describes the different parts of her job that were affected by the introduction of computers and how they made a difference in her work overall.
