Computers
This book introduces the history of the invention of computers, including John V. Atanasoff and Clifford E. Berry's Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC), the Harvard Mark I, the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), the Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer (EDVAC), the Universal Automatic Computer (UNIVAC), William "Bill" Henry Gates, Paul Allen, Microsoft Corporation, and software development, Steven P. Jobs, Stephen G. Wozniak, and Apple Computer Inc., and supercomputers such as IBM's BlueGene/L, the world's fastest supercomputer. Other chapters delve into computer parts from software and hardware to microprocessors and the graphical-user interface (GUI). Other section...
Who Invented the Computer?
Examines the facts surrounding the 1973 federal trial that dealt with the dispute over which company invented the first "automatic electronic digital computer."
The First Electronic Computer
Tells of the design, construction, and subsequent controversy over the first special-purpose electronic computer
The Man who Invented the Computer
Traces physics professor John Vincent Atanasoff's role in the invention of the computer, describing his innovative construction of an unpatented electronic device that eased the lives of burdened scientists by performing calculations using binary numbers.
The Ingenuity of Common Workmen
Rather, modern computation derived more directly, for example, from the prewar work of John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford Berry, a physics professor and graduate student, respectively, at Iowa State College (now University) in Ames, Iowa. They built the Atanasoff Berry Computer (ABC), which, although special purpose and inexpensive, heralded the efficient and elegant design of modern computers. Moreover, while no one foresaw commercialization of computers based on the ungainly and costly ENIAC, the commercial possibilities of the ABC were immediately evident, although unrealized due to war. Evidence indicates, furthermore, that the private sector was willing and able to develop computers beyond the ABC and could have done so more effectively than government, to the most sophisticated machines. A full and inclusive history of computers suggests that Adam Smith, the eighteenth century Scottish philosopher, had it right. He believed that minimal and aloof government best served society, and that the inherent genius of citizens was itself enough to ensure the general prosperity.
