how science improved life and war techniques, the colossus computer was created, and many people were responsible for the advancements of technology and science during World War II. The colossus computer was one of the first computers used to decipher secret codes in 1944 (princeton.edu). The designer of this ingenious machine, who paid with his own money for the computer to be built, was Tommy Flowers, a British engineer. He created this computer with the intention of making it easy for soldiers
mankind would not progress. Without scientific discoveries, man would be nothing. In the twentieth century, Great Britain received much recognition by the scientific community due to their discovery of penicillin, creation of the first programmable computer, and groundbreaking work with nuclear transfer. In the early twentieth century, Alexander Fleming made a mistake in a lab that saved hundreds of thousands of lives throughout the world. “Fleming was born on August 6, 1881 in Lochfield, Ayrshire,
1. Alan Turing exhibits the characteristics of a genius, evidence of this comes from his description as a "math prodigy" at Kings College- Cambridge, and the fact that he became a fellow at Cambridge at the age of twenty-four. However, Alan Turing compares himself to genius's such as Newton and Einstein and believes that he is no prodigy because he has yet to accomplish as much as the two. Additionally, Turing recognizes he is one of the best mathematicians in the world, at only twenty-seven years
The Market Mix and Thorpe Park Thorpe Park is very good at marketing and getting the results it wants. This is because they follow the 4 P's, otherwise known as the Marketing Mix. The 4 P's for the park are: · Place - The location of the park · Product - The rides and other products in the park · Price - the pricing strategies the park uses · Promotion - Sales promotions, promotional campaigns, offers, and third party promotions.

inventions. I believe that since 1898, no invention fits that description more than the electronic computer. Since its creation, no device has changed so much, and so rapidly, as the computer. The original computer was nothing like it is known now. It was a simple device known as an abacus, a mathematic tool that may have been invented in the fourth century BC by the Babylonians (PBS). Before a new computer could be created, a few things had to happen. In the eighth century AD, Arabic numerals were introduced
As a college student I have become very appreciative of my computer because it facilitates and assist me at school on daily bases, however, the computer was not always this sophisticated tool that we all use today, far from that, the computer has been modified and recreated many times in order to achieve its very useful characteristics that make our lives more efficient. Today’s computer is the outcome of years of developing accompanied by intellectual individuals who have created essential components
NCR 390 The machine seen in the ad is known as the the NCR ‘390’, and it is a computer system that was released in 1962. It was the first low-cost, mass-marketed computer of its time. However the NCR 390 wasn’t the only thing that came out in 1962. The Second Wave of feminism also surged and touched on every area of women's experience — including family, sexuality, and work. In the ad, it can be inferred that the target audience is women who are interested in entering the labor force and those who
DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTERS The first generation of computer which is from the year 1945 has been relatively large in size and very expensive due to the technology that we have back then. Goes by the name “Colossus”, it was the very first electronic computer developed. It is programmable, digital, electronic, computing devices. The vacuum tubes or known as thermionic valves is used to perform calculations. It serve as purpose to solve mathematic problem faced by the British military during World War
The idea that the Statue of Liberty represents American ideals and dreams I believe is connected to “The New Colossus”. They both represent a very important part of American culture, freedom. Although the American culture of freedom has drastically changed since the building of the Statue of Liberty, the main idea that She represents freedom for everyone, not only people who are born in the United States, but also immigrants from all over the world, will always stand by the people. It is not the
short poem “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus showcases and contrasts the ancient Greek statue Helios and the Statue of liberty. Lazarus lets the reader compare the ancient Colossus of Rhodes, representing traditional masculinity in contrast with the New Colossus a feminine symbol of unity and refuge for those in need. Both poems are social commentaries
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” It would be difficult to find an American who doesn’t recognize these now-famous words. This verse represents the essence of our nation, and every citizen in the Land of the Free should be aware of its significance. Known as the Great Melting Pot, America is a nation of immigrants. Every weary
Wavin’ Flag Born in Somalia and raised in the midst of the Somali Civil war, Keenan Abdi Warsame (K'naan) became an international sensation because of his hit single “Wavin Flag.” He originally wrote this song for Somalia and the aspiration of freedom he wanted for his people and homeland. Waving’ Flag is symbolic in my life and has impacted millions of people worldwide. This song expresses empowerment, freedom, and the will to become stronger. These ideas and meanings are evident through the lyrics
Prayer of the Refugee by Rise Against is a song is about an immigrant or a refugee trying to make ends meet in America. They face frequent discrimination at the hands of the people and government. The mistreatment of immigrants has been an ongoing problem for centuries but the way that Helena Maria Viramontes wrote Under the Feet of Jesus was haunting beautiful. She was able to create the exploitation and unfortunate events of Estrella and her family’s life with such finesse and artistry was phenomenal
George Bush once said, “America is the land of the second chance - and when the gates of the prison open, the path ahead should lead to a better life.” In “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus and “America” by Claude McKay, America is presented as a place of hope for the future. Through the use of personification, irony, imagery, similes, and other rhetorical devices, McKay and Lazarus describes America as a welcoming place made for everybody. Both poems were unique and attractive because their authors
reflected in their writings. For both these woman, their accesses to father-daughter relationships were denied based on life circumstances. Ironically, their fathers were their muses for writing and are what made them the women they are today. In “The Colossus” Plath expresses her personal and emotions struggles she faced resulting from her father’s death. Plath’s father, Otto Plath was nonexistent. “Plath’s relationship with her father has proven to be one of the more troublesome of her recurrent themes
She is credited with being one of the first people to have this vision well before Zionism was even a word and well before Hertzel came along. She really was a pioneer in those thoughts. She wrote “The New Colossus” in 1883 but that was placed at the base of the Statue of Liberty in 1903 well after she died, 16 years later. I want to thank the Jewish Women’s Archive, as usual, for most of this information. To end today’s short tribute to this Jewish women’s

Often times, America can be described as “the golden door” (Lazarus 14) or a land of opportunity. This is the case in Emma Lazarus’s poem, “The New Colossus.” In her poem, Emma, like America, is calling out to other country’s “tired...poor/… [and] huddled masses yearning to breathe free” (Lazarus 10-11). In many countries the poor and tired citizens flee to America to obtain freedom and the natural liberties each person is entitled to in America. For most immigrants, coming to the United States is
stylized after the Roman goddess Libertas, with torch held high above her head and broken chain beneath her feet, became a symbol of freedom to immigrants arriving to the United States from abroad. This is epitomized in Emma Lazarus’s sonnet The New Colossus which describes how the Statue of Liberty welcomes those oppressed and homeless with open arms. However, while the statue did instill hope in many weary travelers, the socio-economic conditions in the United States told otherwise for many racial
