Yesterday’s Technology Was a “Big Wow” By Joan Fudala, community historian
This year we celebrate the iphone’s 10th anniversary, the 50th anniversary of the ATM and the 60th anniversary of Scottsdale’s high-tech industry. To most, high tech gadgetry is a necessity of life, and we wonder how we could have lived without it. Though Scottsdale has less than 70 years of tech history, it’s timely to note how fast we’ve adapted to everything computerized: With a nod to World War II-era pre-computer exploration (Alan Turing and the Bletchley Park code-breakers), the world’s first computer, Eniac, was introduced in Philadelphia in 1946. Weighing about 30 tons, it had over 17,000 vacuum tubes and occupied an entire room. Motorola opened the first of three plants in the Scottsdale area in 1949 at 56th street between Thomas and Indian School roads, launching Scottsdale’s high-tech renown. Motorola opened its facility at McDowell and Hayden roads in 1957. The Scottsdale-based Government Electronics Division produced communications equipment for U.S. military and space programs. General Dynamics took over the Scottsdale plant in 2001 and continues to operate there. Arizona State, in conjunction with General Electric, established a computer department by the mid-1950s. Department chairs often spoke to Scottsdale civic groups to explain the new computer technology (then using punch cards). The January 11, 1957 Scottsdale Progress said that Arizona Public Service had purchased a Univac computer, the company’s ‘new electronic brain,’ and had built a new facility in Phoenix to house the computer system. An earlier edition of the newspaper reported that APS was the first utility in the western United States to use a computer as a management tool.
When Motorola opened on McDowell Road & Granite Reef in 1957, it was still surrounded by farm fields and had its own runway. Scottsdale Historical Society photo
General Electric filmed a television commercial in Scottsdale in October 1961 to promote how its computers were being used by local businesses, school districts, cities and even bowling leagues. Residents ‘starred’ as extras; the TV ad aired during the Ronald Reagan-hosted GE Theatre program. Former Scottsdale Police Department Captain Hugh Cleary became the City of Scottsdale’s first Director of Data Services, overseeing the use of the city’s first computer, which was installed in June 1970. Five years later, the city replaced its first computer with a Honeywell that it shared with the Scottsdale Unified School District. As far back as 1975, Saguaro High was hosting computer date dances, where students were matched with each other for the evening. In 1976 the Arizona Bank announced it would begin offering customers automated teller machine services. “At any time, 24-hours a day, seven days a week, customers can make deposits to checking or savings, make withdrawals from a checking account in increments of $10 up to $200 in any one day and make payment on any type of Arizona Bank loan,” according to the March 30 Scottsdale Progress. In 1978 Scottsdale Memorial Hospital installed the first two-second CT scanner in Arizona with full body capability, and also acquired new generation ultrasound and nuclear medicine equipment, all cutting-edge computerized diagnostics.
With the advent of the World Wide Web, the Scottsdale CVB (now Experience Scottsdale) promoted tourism on its website starting in 1996. Joan Fudala photo
In 1994, the City of Scottsdale, ASU and NASA teamed up to do overflights of Scottsdale’s the McDowell Mountains, creating digital Geographical Information System (GIS) mapping data, vegetation surveys and geological information. With the advent of the Internet’s World Wide Web in 1990, Scottsdale businesses and organizations began establishing websites. The city’s site went live in 1995, the Scottsdale CVB’s in 1996 and the chamber of commerce’s in 1997. DC Ranch became Scottsdale’s first ‘wired’ community in 1996/97, offering residents an intranet and other digital amenities. Bob Parsons founded a company in Scottsdale in 1997 that registered website domain names, eventually naming the airpark-based firm GoDaddy. See you in cyberspace!

Family Promise - Greater Phoenix
Helping Families with Children to break the cycle of Homelessness... In Operation since 2000, Family Promise-Greater Phoenix has provided more than just shelter for families. For the past 16 years, the programs at Family Promise have helped over 800 families. These programs have enabled families to move from homelessness to self-sufficiency. The Vision of Family Promise is a community of whole and healthy families. At Family Promise, we give families the tools and training to care for their children, find employment and housing, and become independent and successful. We strive to provide a safety net for children and their families before they drop into a cycle of endless shelters, loss of school attendance, unemployment, family instability and foster care. Family Promise is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, independently affiliated with a national organization founded in 1986 and comprised of 200 affiliates in 46 states (www.familypromise.org). Family Promise operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and only serves families with children. More than 60% of our clients are children.
