A Simulation Study of Personal and Mass Communication
{whole original article, verbatim photocopy}

Stein Bråten's (1968) article, xerox of the original article
in the IAG Quarterly journal, IFIP Administrative Data Processing Group,
(Journal of the administrative data processing group of the
international federation for information processing), published
in Amsterdam 1968.

This represents if not the first, then certainly one of the first
published examples of using computers in scientific modelling of 
interpersonal communication. The programming language here used 
is Simula, originated by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard, the 
language (containing Algol as a subset) which is acknowledged to 
be the source of the concept of object orientation in later programming
languages such as C++ and Java.
