Colossus computer

The history of the modern computer is relatively new. What we think of today of computers was not even brought into the world until the 1940’s. If it was not for the competitiveness of World War II, we could be thirty years behind where we are today. The need for faster, more efficient ways of computation and communication developed into a contest for who would have the biggest advantage in war by ways of technology. This race between the great world powers of the United States, Britain, and…

two to four more years. With Alan Turing's invention of the "Colossus", he was able to break the German code of Enigma. The "Colossus" deciphered the message that came from the German machine the Enigma. With the "Colossus", he saved up to ten to twenty-one million lives. He's a hero of World War 2 and a hero to countless people who could've been a victim of the war. Turing was famous for many things, but mostly famous for being a computer scientist, designer, mathematician, cryptanalyst, and…

opponents. The Allies attempted to counter them by any means necessary, but it wasn’t until in the middle of the war did the concept of the potential of computers hit them. Scientist soon found out about the computer’s ability to compute firing tables, break code, and communicate between relay stations. At the beginning of WWII, the first all-electric computer was invented by Professor John Atanasoff and his student Clifford Berry. The machine was called ABC. The ABC had been designed to solve…

In today’s world, the majority of people have a work computer, home computer, and/or a lap top, because computers have become affordable for the average person. If you look at the history of computers, it has taken us over a century to get to this point. Computers were first used primarily for businesses and government, because they were too expensive and large for personal use by the average person. According to Wikipedia (2016), “a computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out an…

Have you used a computer today? Well if you have, I bet you thought all the stuff you stored on it was safe. I am going to tell you why it is not. We should not rely on computers so heavily because people store too much personal information on their computers, terrible cyber security, and hackers are too advanced. A computer is an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program. We use these electronic…

man widely considered the father of artificial intelligence, proved to be a child prodigy as early as age 6, saved thousands of lives in the second great war, set the stage for what we perceive as the modern day personal computer, made advancements in Biology just as well as computer science, and died to suicide after being charged with “gross Indecency” by the very government he helped during the war. How could someone go from being as vital of a person, as Winston Churchill put it “Turing…

humans naturally possess. Computer scientists have designed and are further designing computers that have similar intelligence. These computers are artificially intelligent and can learn, make decisions, and behave similarly to the human brain. The idea of artificial intelligence has been around for around 100 years and has had the attention of many computer scientists who want to delve deeper into the mysterious reality of intelligent computers. Alan Turing is one computer scientist that is…

In today 's reality everything contains a PC or is worked by one.On February 15, 1946 The US-constructed ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the principal electronic programmable PC worked in the US. In spite of the fact that the ENIAC was like the Colossus it was much quicker and more adaptable, much to their dismay this would be the establishment of what was to end up the present day PC. PCs have had an extremely basic effect on society. It has changed the lifestyle. The…

Many university students use electronic devices during class time, some of which can be a distraction to their academic learning. he use of electronic devices in the classroom have increases over the past several years due to the electronic revolution. There are consequences involved with the increase in technology and the use of technological devices in classrooms. Some of the consequences related to this issue are dependance on the device, becoming a distraction to the user as well as those…

theft is increasingly on the rise because it is a convenient crime. This method of thievery is attractive to criminals because they can commit the crime leisurely within their home, car, the park, place of employment, or anywhere they can access a computer, laptop, or any other electronic device.
