Psychsoftpc manufactures high performance computers, professional workstations and supercomputers in the USA We are constantly evolving our machines with the very latest technology and are often the first to put out machines that take advantage of the latest tech because we don’t stock parts or pre-build machines which have to moved before we can use the most advanced technology in our machines. We treat each customer like a person, not a number.
We’ve been saying that all along. We’re proud of our Massachusetts heritage with a long tradition of craftsmanship, individuality, helpfulness and loving what we do. We take the words “Be true to your work, your word, and your friend,” by Henry David Thoreau to heart.
Tell us about yourself?
Dr. Tim Lynch, President of Psychsoftpc, received his Ph.D. in Psychology of Computers and Intelligent Machines from Boston University. Shortly thereafter, Omni Magazine named him the first Robopsychologist or Computer Psychologist.
He was then written up as a computer psychologist, or psychologist who studies how computer interaction effects personality and how to make computer interfaces more user friendly, in the Wall Street Journal, Psychology Today, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, the London Sunday Times, Computer World, and many other publications.
He was the first Psychologist to recognize and study tech addiction and the insulating effect of tech mediated communication like the social media we have today. As part of his Doctoral Dissertation on the Effects of Computer Use on Personality and Social Interaction Patterns, he created one of the first neural net based Artificial Intelligence Natural Language software programs which was subsequently the basis of programs used by NIH division of AIDS Research and the United Nations, among others.
Dr Tim Lynch consulted on the look and feel of visual url link and image based web browsing leading to the development of the modern internet. Dr. Lynch was an editor for the first Journal of Psychology of Computers.
He taught graduate level courses and has written numerous journal articles on Ethics in computer science, Psychology of computers and how interacting with computers and intelligent machines effects people.
He consulted on technology in the classroom and helped develop the plan for the 21st Century Classroom for the US Department of Education and was a grants reader for DOE on technology implementation in the classroom.
Dr Tim Lynch is the recipient of the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award by Marquis Who’s Who and has been endorsed by Marquis Who’s Who as a leader in Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Psychology and High Performance Computing.
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
beware the ides of coronovirus unexpected things happen and we must all be adaptable enough to survive them I ave always tried to be aware of things and coronavirus has been a lesson for us all
What problem does your business solve?
we address the need for quality high performance computing and virtual reality in the SMB space while others have provided supercomputing and HPC to colleges and large businesses we have strived to make these cutting edge technologies available to small businesses so they too can compete and take advantage of the latest technology. high performance computing should not be limited to large corporations
What is the inspiration behind your business?
we started out creating Artificial intelligence Natural Language solutions based on neural nets for AIDS research for NIH I became frustrated wiith the lack of quality and computing power available commercially so designed and built the best computers at the time for our research and carried that initiative forward to provide powerful quality machines to others
What is your magic sauce?
unlike that insurance company we concentrate on the three Qs quality quality and quality Quality in the parts, Quality in the build and Quality in the service We treat each customer as a person not a number and make sue that no one gets lost in the process
What is the plan for the next 5 years? What do you want to achieve?
I am a student, teacher and practitioner of Zen so I have no idea. “Who really can face the future? All you can do is project from the past, even when the past shows that such projections are often wrong. And who really can forget the past? What else is there to know?”
― Robert M. Pirsig
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?
name recognition while we were the first to do many things on technology well mostly by me getting recognized by the masses still is an issue and without recognition it becomes difficult to attract customers
How do people get involved/buy into your vision?
we want folks who want to get involved in HPC to contact us through our web site or phone number
