Frank Beck (computer scientist) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Frank Beck (computer scientist) Dr Frank Beck (born December 28, 1930) is a British computer scientist who pioneered user-interface hardware including the touchscreen and the video wall while working at CERN during the 1970s. == Early life == He was born as Franz Beck in Vienna, Austria to Friedrich and Edith Beck, a non-religious Jewish couple who worked in a family-owned business. At the age of 8, shortly before the outbreak of World War II he escaped to London, England ] with his mother. His father stayed behind, escaping to France, where he survived for three years before being sent to Auschwitz and killed. On arrival in England, Franz anglicized his name to Frank, and, like thousands of other children, was evacuated from London during hostilities. After leaving school, he was conscripted into the Royal Air Force where he worked as a radio engineer, and learned about electronics. When his National Service ended he worked in an electronics lab while studying mathematics at Chelsea Polytechnic (now King’s College) and Birkbeck College. At this time he became interested in the emerging science of computer programming, and became a programmer on his employer’s HEC computer, a commercially available machine. In 1958 he married Margaret Louise Hammel (1934–2003, known as Louise). Frank and Louise's sons Simon and Stephen were born in 1961 and 1962.
