Perhaps the first occurrence of the phrase in The New York Times is in a 1958 story advocating "atomic energy" for Europe:[1] "...Western Europe, with its dense population and its high technology..." A 1968 occurrence is about technology companies along Boston's Route 128: It is not clear whether the term comes from the high technologies flourishing in the glass rectangles along the route or from the Midas touch their entrepreneurs have shown in starting new companies.[2] By 1969, Robert Metz was using it in a financial column—Arthur H. Collins of Collins Radio "controls a score of high technology patents in variety of fields."[3] Metz used the term frequently thereafter; a few months later he was using it with a hyphen, saying that a fund "holds computer peripheral... business equipment, and high-technology stocks."[4] Its first occurrence in the abbreviated form "high tech" occurred in a Metz article in 1971.[5] |
