History of the Computer
The Analytical and Difference Engines (1835-1869): The English mathematician Charles Babbage (1792-1871) never got to build his invention, but his design had an uncanny resemblance to the modern computer. Ada Lovelace, Lord Byron's daughter, wrote eloquently about the device and was history's first programmer.
The ABC (Atanasoff Berry Computer) (1938): John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry designed the first electronic digital computer at Iowa State, and urged the university to patent their design. Nothing was ever done and millions in potential royalties were lost. The project was abandoned in 1942 without building the computer.
The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator) (1946): was built at the University of Pennsylvania by John W. Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert. Recognized as the first operational electronic computer, it could perform 5,000 additions per second, weighed 30 tons, and required 1,500 square feet of floor space.
UNIVAC I (Universal Automatic Computer) (1951): The world's first commercial computer (a total of 15 were sold) gained public recognition when it was used by CBS to predict Eisenhower's 1952 presidential election. The original UNIVAC was officially retired on October 3, 1963, after 73,000 hours of operation, and is now on display at the Smithsonian Institution.
The IBM 360 (1964): The 360 series pioneered the concept of upward compatibility whereby a user could upgrade from one computer to the next without having to reprogram existing applications. The machine was viewed as an enormous financial gamble, but paid off handsomely as it gave IBM a dominance in mainframes which it has never relinquished.
Altair 8800 (1975): The January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics featured the Altair 8800 on its cover: the first personal computer and a machine that the hobbyist could build from a kit. 2000 adventurous readers sent in their orders (sight unseen) for a kit that cost $439. The Altair had no keyboard or monitor and no available software and was programmed by switches on the front panel.
Apple II (1977): The Apple Il was a fully assembled home computer in an attractive case, complete with keyboard, connection to a TV screen, color, memory to 64Kb, and BASIC interpreter. The machine was to launch the personal computer revolution and vault its founders, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, from garage to glory.
IBM PC (1981): IBM was neither first nor technologically innovative, but their announcement put the personal computer on the desks of America's business people, just as Apple had put the computer in the home.
The Lincoln Electric Company started in 1906 by James F. Lincoln in Cleveland, Ohio. His father was a minister and so in turn you can see many Christ like principals at the center of Lincolns Electric Company. James’s Golden Rule was taken from the Sermon on the Mount: Do unto others as you would have then do unto you. Through this philosophy stems many of Mr. Lincoln’s main ideas for his company such as: The Incentive Management plan, the way people communicate within the company, the bonus plan and even down to the management style.
The Darfur-Sudan genocide and the Holocaust are just two of the many mass killings of certain groups of people that have taken place all over the world. The Holocaust was the persecution and extermination of Jews, Gypsies, handicapped people and homosexuals (Holocaust). The leader of the Holocaust and the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (the Nazis) was Adolf Hitler (Holocaust). He rose to power in Germany in 1933 (Holocaust). Ghettos and concentration camps were set up to isolate all who the Nazis did not qualify as “pure” (Holocaust). The Holocaust took place between1939 to 1945 (“Introduction”). The Darfur-Sudan Genocide began in 2003 and is still going on today (“Darfur Genocide”). A militia of government-supported people called the Janjaweed has been killing and destroying villages of non-Arab people (“Darfur Genocide”). Al-Bashir general of the National Islamic Front has been leading the persecution (“Darfur: A History” 18). The Holocaust and the Darfur-Sudan genocide are similar in that both their countries and leaders had the same economic status and mind set, however they are different in how the United States and other countries’ were involved and the type of war that was going on during them.
Darfur is located in Northeastern Africa. The genocide started in 1956, when war broke out, the genocide continued till July 2011, because South Sudan became their own country. The government had attacks on Darfur and Air Force bombings. There was mass of slaughtering and rape of men, women, and children. The tribe and citizens are targeted because the government got over thrown by a military and then the government forces bombed civilizes to facilitate exploitation. (Darfur Genocide, World Without Genocide)The government wanted Darfur to be used for oil exploration, but the citizens didn’t want to leave Darfur because that’s where they live and produce resources. Also the weather in Darfur was good for the people be...
The conflict in Darfur was caused by a rebellion. The people of Darfur felt neglected and took up arms against the government in an effort to gain more recognition. The most disturbing part of this story might just be how extreme the government’s reaction to this rebellion was. This act of rebellion
The founder of LEC, John C. Lincoln was an engineer and inventor and he steered the company through it’s first 25 years of existence. 1907 saw
The government of Sudan is responsible for 'ethnic cleansing' and crimes against humanity in Darfur, which is located on Sudan's western border with Chad (. The Sudanese government, along with the Arab 'Janjaweed' militias they arm and support, have attacked the civilians of the African Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa ethnic groups. These attacks involved massacres, summary executions of civilians, burnings of towns and villages, and the forceful depopulation of Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa land. The militia, Muslim like the African groups, have destroyed many religious artifacts including the desecrated Qorans that belong to their enemies (Human Rights Watch, 2004, p. 5).
Prospective outlooks of a country can be altered by war, a proposal that will be demonstrated in this analysis, as war can ostensibly transform a nation, and change a continent. A substantiated concept evidenced by the Second Sudanese Civil War, as the prior is essentially responsible for the recent succession of South Sudan, dissociating two ethnical groups, forcibly put together by former colonialist ties. It was a Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that ended their two decade long war, and put forth a framework that would ultimately revise the economical, and social, design of Sudan, and subsequently most of Africa. Fundamentally, the CPA would not bring an end to the animosity between the North and the South, as border tensions, and fair oil distribution, have continued to disjoint the neighboring nations to this day.
Lincoln electric is very good for the employee and in turn, it has created a very good
Mark I. It was actually a electromechanical calculation. It is said that this was the first potentially computers. In 1951 Remington Rand’s came out with the UNIVAC it began
Transgender kids around the world are being bullied just because they are trying to be themselves. They are trying to be true to themselves and are trying to be accepted by everyone else around them. According to nobulling.com 82% of transgender youth report that they feel unsafe at school, 44% of them had been abused physically (ex. punched,
You would have to go around the period of World War II to find the first digital computers designed by an army of engineers both computers the size of factories and only able to solve simple mathematical operations The portable computers have evolved since the creation the first one. As technology improved, and financial availability became friendlier for consumers the microcomputer revolution began. The market for microcomputers with a printed circuit grew to about 100,000 because of improved microprocessors, a standard operating system, and increased availability of software, disk drives, and cheaper memory. By the time Dell’s portable devices came to the market, portable devices advanced tremendously. Several computer manufacturers began to pop up around that time: IBM, Apple, and Compaq.
To begin with, by definition bullying is any unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance (). Given this definition it is important for individuals to understand that bullying does not have to be a physical action. Bullying can also include any verbal threats that someone makes against another individual or even going as far as ostracizing someone from a group. It is also essential for individuals to understand the various roles that bullying includes. Just because a person is not considered to be the “bully” or the individual being “bullied” doesn’t necessarily mean that they are not an active participant in the bullying of transgender students. For example, if someone ...
In 1953 it was estimated that there were 100 computers in the world. Computers built between 1959 and 1964 are often regarded as the "second generation" computers, based on transistors and printed circuits - resulting in much smaller computers. 1964 the programming language PL/1 released by IBM. 1964 the launch of IBM 360. These first series of compatible computers. In 1970 Intel introduced the first RAM chip. In 1975 IBM 5100 was released. In 1976 the Apple Computer Inc. was founded, to market Apple I Computer. Designed to Stephen Wozinak and Stephan Jobs. In 1979 the first compact disk was released around 1981 IBM announced PC, the standard model was sold for $2,880.00.
The first Macintosh was the 128 K released first in 1984. Macintosh was first affordable computer to include a GUI (Graphical User Interface). It was built around the Motorola 6800 chip which was significantly faster than previous processors. It came in a small case with a black and white monitor built- in. It even came with a mouse and keyboard. Big progress from the Apple I which came out in 1976 which included only the circuit board, but here's the real kicker you had to build your own case. Wow!
The ENIAC (Electrical Numerical Integrator And Calculator) was the first computer developed in the United States. John Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania’s Moore School of Electrical Engineering created the Eniac Computer. John Mauchly was the chief consultant and John Presper Eckert was the chief engineer. John Presper Eckert obtained his Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1941 and his Master's degree in 1943, which qualified him to be chief engineer on the project. John Mauchly received his Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate degree at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland in physics. John Eckert met John Mauchly when he was a graduate student. It took Mauchly and Eckert one year to design and 18 months to build the Eniac.
