John Clark Scott has had a long and diverse career in the computer industry.
From childhood, Scott showed a keen interest in technology, often disassembling machines to understand their workings. As a teenager, he self-taught electronics and radio technology, earning a commercial radio station license.
After briefly attending university, Scott discovered his passion for computing through self-study. He began his career in Silicon Valley during its early boom years. Noticing confusion about computers among his peers, he started giving explanatory lectures, which inspired his book, "But How Do It Know? - The Basic Principles of Computers for Everyone".
Scott's professional experience includes work with major tech companies like Intel and IBM, as well as consultancy for entertainment firms such as NBC and EMI. He has also worked with banks, software companies, and start-ups.
His expertise covers a wide range of computer systems, from mainframes to microcomputers. Scott has programmed in numerous languages and developed three nationally marketed consumer software packages, including a six-part suite that became an industry standard for over a decade.
