Grace Hopper

computing included Ada Lovelace, and Grace Hopper (Isaacson, 2014). She observed while working with Charles Babbages on his calculating machine, that it beyond just calculating numbers, it could support anything symbolically, including music, and word processing. Ms. Lovelace (1815-1852) was a gifted computer programmer and mathematician that was considered to have written instructions for the first computer program in the mid-1800’s (Biography.com, 2017). Grace Hopper (1906-1992) worked with…

Grace Murray Hopper once said, "It is better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.” In my opinion, it depends on the situation completely, but for the most part, begging forgiveness is the right way to go. I think begging forgiveness is more suitable than asking permission because you can learn from your mistakes and have a possibility of a better outcome. It is important to experience mistakes in life, so you can learn from them, and you cannot do this if you are always asking for…

English experts of our society by teachers, peers, family, and understanding societal norms, by themselves. In order to make advances on this issue there are targeted conferences to recruit women into computer science, such as the Grace Hopper program. The Grace Hopper program emphasizes what can be done to fix the gap between men and women in computer science. It celebrates the great accomplishments women have had in the field and what can be done to achieve the same success. One of the largest…

For most people when you ask them whom they believe is the most influential person in the media, Banksy is not even on that list. He has however managed to make a huge impact on the art world as well as to the people who are able to view his work. He works undercover, and is rarely seen. He is under the impression that the less that people know about him, the more they will concentrate on his art and what it is really trying to say to us as his viewers. He does not make art to make others happy,…

degree in computer science. In order to remedy this, they began taking first year female students to the Grace Hopper Celebration, an annual conferenced celebrating accomplishments of women in computer science. After attending this conference, 25% more of the students elected to major in computer science despite not wanting to beforehand (Alvarado and Judson 70-71). Conferences like the Grace Hopper Celebration allow students to explore different paths and have fun learning in a stress free…

programmed to do multiple operations would be more convenient and favorable (Isaacson 2014). - During World War I, women played a critical role in developing programming, particularly Grace Hopper, who became the world’s first computer programming manual when she worked on the US Navy’s computer, Mark I (Isaacson 2014). - Hopper was collaborative with her approach on programming, involving her team in perfecting codes for the computer. This team made the Mark I the most easily programmable…

confusing between leadership and managing. I have been found suspect to leading and guiding my group by assigning tasks but not following through. I became a manager. There is nothing wrong with being a manager, but people rather have leaders. Grace Murray Hopper said it best, “You manage thing; you lead people.” Collaborative work and communication is crucial to build the trust needed to successfully run a group. It is unfortunate that at time we misunderstand and misjudge our intentions,…

The greatest leader that I know, ensures that his employees will have the tools they need to be successful. Having a leader who empowers people to grow and become great leaders themselves makes a difference in what a person can accomplish. As Grace Hopper said, “You manage things; you lead people,” (1983). Leaders who have the need to control everything are not leaders, but managers. These managers are very difficult to work under. A great leader to me has good ethical values, is an active…

recruiters can’t cover them all in a short amount of time. Intuit also values diversity to a great degree. In order to meet diversity goals, Intuit partners with organizations that promote diversity. One of the programs that Intuit partners with is Grace Hopper Academy, which teaches women of color on how to code. Motivation is somewhat considered to be a factor in the recruitment process, since they want Intuit wants their employees to be excited about working at Intuit and the tasks that…

Howard Hathaway Aiken There is one truth about the world when observed upon from any standpoint; regardless of sex, race, or nationality…and that is to change. Change is ever present, constant, and continuous. Amongst the changes in the universe, humanity has had to learn to adapt to changes in the environment in order to survive. Humanity has evolved from eras such as stone-age, to the Industrial revolution, and finally to the information revolution. When viewing the antiquity of…
