ENIAC

And the EDSAC, Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator built by Maurice Wilkes at Cambridge University. 　　 　　The microelectronic revolution started when they were using the vacuum tubes it consume a lot of power supply. As a comparison the ENIAC used about 2000 times as much electricity as the modern laptop. Not just that, the modern term for a problem that holds up a computer program is a “bug”. Popular legend has it that this word entered the vocabulary of computer programmers sometimes

Ben looked out of the vehicle’s window. He was the alpha-tester of the Newton, a machine that would ,hopefully, take them to the 1940s. His friend, Mr. Pach, the inventor of the vehicle, and Ben worked for the III, International Innovation Incorporated. The project had been sponsored so the creation of the the first computer could be documented. The chauffeur of the exotic car was non-other than Mr. Pach, a famous, slightly crazy, scientist. Hopefully, this would be Mr. Pach’s 8th Nobel Prize, as

Analyzer and Computer (ENIAC), was built at University of Pennsylvania. It can do calculation for the US military during world war II. The ENIAC weighed 30 tons, took up nearly 2,000 square feet of floor space and it cost $500,00. From outside it was covered in a tangle of cables, hundreds of blinking lights and nearly 6,000 mechanical switches to operators. On the inside, 18,000 vacuum tubes carried electrical signals from one part of the machine to another. When the ENIAC was presented to the public

Computers In between 1943 and 1946, ENIAC was designed by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert at University of Pennsylvania, U.S. ENIAC was a modular computer, collected of separate panels to perform different functions. Twenty of these parts were accumulators, which could not only add and subtract but hold a ten-digit decimal number in memory. Numbers were passed between these units across several general-purpose buses. In order to achieve its high speed, the panels had to send and receive numbers

Computers have been an indispensable aspect of life for what seems forever. But, this was not always the case. All of the things that seem like they are natural components to a computers interface like a mouse, keyboard, and the internet were just toys for tinkering about 30 years ago. The man who made the first computer controlled it with just a series of switches and displayed data on a few labeled LED lights. Since the invention of the electronic computer inventors have constantly been pushing

Despite the perception of what many uninformed people may believe, throughout history, women have always contributed greatly to the growth of our society through technology. Regrettably, the success of women has generally only been attributed and recognized through the more stereotypical and traditional roles, such as being a teacher or a nurse. Often underappreciated is the role of women and their significant contribution to the sciences, especially computer sciences. In the book Recoding Gender:

Big Blue vs Big Red For decades the digital war between Macintoshes (Macs) and Personal Computers (PCs) has been a never ending struggle to see who ranks the better competition. Because Microsoft has dominated the software field, more and more businesses use PCs rather than Macs. But does that make the PC better than the Mac. Let 's take a trip back in time and review the evolution of a computer company. It 's not IBM or Microsoft. This company is Apple Computers, Incorporated. In the year 1976

Every generation has had its set of geniuses who have added to the progression of society, whether it’s by inventing things, coming up with equations, or philosophical teachings, etc. However, I can’t think of one person in history who was as incredible as John von Neumann. John von Neumann was born to Jewish parents in Budapest, Hungary on December 28, 1903. He was the oldest of three sons. Von Neumann’s dad was a banker and his mother was raised in a family that profited from farming materials
