This is the picture of what the scientists working for Rand Co. were thinking of, the future computer. It might seem weird and funny to us today, 2009, but for the greatest and the biggest think tank institution's scientists in 1954 that computer was a dream and such a great success. I wanted to start my new entry with a corner stone from the history. Actually, what I want to emphasize is the institution, itself. As I have already mentioned, it was established after 2nd. WW, and became the most popular institution with many well-known scientists conducting researches and projects in a wide range of subjects. It is a non-profit global policy think tank first formed to serve for the government, and then became a non-profit institution to serve for the public. With 
the development period of the post-war era, many successful scientists from many different kinds of countries worked in every kind of areas . During Cold war period the institution was serving to the government and improving the Space Program. Also, Modern Portfolio Management was created by the institution as the modern management styles and theories were. Moreover, they had a huge effect in creating Game Theory and in upgrading it. The institution is still active and serving as a non-profit, think tank and it is still one of the most popular ones in the world.
