ENIAC

first generation of computers ranged from 1940 – 1956. These computers were mainly made up of vacuum tubes. According to some scholars, the ENIAC was the world’s first all-electronic computer but this theory was disproved by the courts. However, the ENIAC was the first electronic general purpose computer and the first ever computer to be built with vacuum tubes. ENIAC was designed by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert of the University of Pennsylvania and was used to calculate artillery firing…

Abstract The end of World War II could have been different was it not for the carrying out of innovations and putting geographical consideration in place. Every innovation shaped the course of the war in a different way. All of these innovations contributed to the success of the war. In the paper, we have gone deeper into explaining how every innovation aided in making the war a success and how the geographical considerations helped the soldiers in making successful attacks to their enemies.…

jobs). How does this play into the argument that technology reinforces and responds to established social structures? Perry and Greber directly discuss the impact of computers on women’s jobs. Before the invention of the any type of computer, the ENIAC was specifically mentioned by Perry and Greber, women performed mathematics using hand calculators during the World War II. Military leaders needed a “calculating machine” to meet the calculating demands of the war. Women’s participation in…

would explain many of the fundamental essentials to coding and computing, and in the 1940's, the first computers were built, for military, government, and secret service purposes. These computers, were enormous and weighed as much as 30 tons. 1946's ENIAC, which is widely accepted as the world's first actual computer,…

The Cold War: How the Icy Rivalry Gave Us Fiery Technology Throughout history, we have experienced many technological influences, inventions, and innovations, many of which have changed the world and how we live in it. Our modern era depends on new, cutting-edge technology, but few look back to the origin. Some people believe that war brings new technology, since war motivates. Whether in the form of a theory, weapon, tool, or all three, the Cold War stands true to this and but this and played…

Smart Phones Timeline: 1930s Proof that boolean logic was possible was found in George Stibitz 's invention of his "Model K" Adder. He utilized Bell Company 's telephone relays in order to create a basic calulator devise in the year 1937. Two years later, Hewlett-Packard was founded by David Packard and Bill Hewlett in their garage. Their first business expedition within HP was sound-testing equipment. [1] Timeline: 1940s In 1940, George Stibitz makes history again with his…

ENIAC’s success. The motive behind this investigation is revealed in a letter between Herman Goldstine and Col. Simon which identified the problems of the ENIAC. These problems were attributed to the task of building the ENIAC in a year and a half (Goldstine 206). There had also been some technological advances in the time period between the ENIAC…

Hacking A Computer Systems A movie “Algorithm: The Hacker Movie,” illustrates a view of a hacker life and what he or she does because he or she doesn’t care about the privacy and laws. According to the movie, it shows that “The hackers live by one rule: information should be free and everything can be simplified and coded and understood as information” (Documentary Storm). By the statement, we can assume that, the hackers don’t live socially like other people do. They may not go for dates or…

evolution of computer is one of the significant achievement to prove the rapid growth of technology. The first electronic general-first computer, known as ENIAC was designed by the engineers in the University of Pennsylvania’s Moore School of Electrical Engineering for the United States Army’s Ballistic Research Laboratory. The intention of designing ENIAC was calculating artillery firing tables. The technology was invented for the war where new digital method has to be made to against the…

The history of computing technology can be organized into four distinct generations, each defined by a distinct transformation in technological innovation. The first generation stretched from 1947-1957, and is identifiable by its use of vacuum tube technology. This generation transitioned into the second generation during the late 1950’s with the use of transistors. Subsequently in the 1960’s the third generation began, classified by its use of integrated circuits. The fourth generation of…
