The History of Computers- September 19, 2008

ASII White- a super computer that took millions of minds to compose.

Charles Babbage-English Scientist that is considered as the “father of computers.” He thought of mechanical computers. He called his machine the Analytical Machine.

Hermon Hollerith- MIT instructor who formed the basis company for IBM.

Colossus- A computer made during World War II to break the German Code. It was called Inigma and it was made by the British. The machine compared sequences of letter very well and quickly.

Manchley and Eckert-Manchley was a physicist who thought about a device to construct to help win the war. His team member was his student, Eckert. They completed the computer Ineack.

John Yon Neumann- This man wrote a paper that affected the next computer design. The paper proposed a machine that had capability idea for selling storage internally.

IBM- A computer company dominated the computer business in the early 60s.

Kilby and Noyce- 1959 engineers independently invented a single chip of silicon.

Ted Hoff- Invented the final step in miniorization.

Douglas Engelbart- A computer scientist that wanted to invent an easy-to-use computer. He camp up with the keyboard and the mouse.

1. The three cultural influences that spurred the development of computers were , one was the need for decoding codes and military intelligence in WW11 another reason was performing calculations that government had to do for population count and calculations that other occupation needed like scientists and doctors. Another reason was the need for new technology that worked precisely.

2. The early

Septemeber 12- second stage to the solution of space debris

(My other group members have completed questions 1,2,3,4,5)

6.  The people who gave us money will be well assured that their money went to good use. We will tell them the issue with space debris and how their money contributed to eliminating the scares of space junk.

7. The overall cost of this operation would be at a high price. Since tether satellites aren’t fully developed yet, we are unaware of the overall costs. I’m guessing the price is in the million dollar range for people to manufacture a satellite with a tether to launch into space. This product will hopefully demolish non functioning objects orbiting the earth with no purpose.

September 10: A Solution to Space Debris

The problem is space debris on the earth orbit. Tiny pieces of trash and non functioning satellites can impact other objects at high speed, damaging them. It caused by things in space not working and just laying out there with no purpose. It affects people by ruining global telecommunication and impacting spacecraft. it also poses a problem for astronauts on spacewalk.It can effect the people in space and area that have satellite based communication networks. This problem has been around since we started putting satellites in space just leaving them there. The problem is mostly the fault of businesses and nations who have put objects in orbit.This problem could be solved by de-orbiting the satellites. There has not been many solutions to this problem yet. I want to solve this problem because our satellite wastes are causing problems in space and could cause Kessler Syndrome which creates a higher risk of further impacts.

September 9,2008- Blogging

1. My first blog post was about my knowledge on computers and how much i knew how to use the specific parts of the computer. Also i wrote about what i have yet to learn and my previous experience with computers.

2. Autoblogreen, Treehuger, and Slashgear are all websites that introduce new technologies that can help the environment. They all have many new ways to go green and keep the world stay healthy! They also are informative websites that show new high tech technologies. Treehugger and Autobloggreen give you good tips and new ways to go green. Slashgear mainly tells you the new, snazzy gadgets.

3. A blog is a personal commentary on anything. Its kept by an individual who wants to express their views on life or their opinions online. Blogs can also be like an online diary. A blog is a web log.

4. When you are mad and are going to send an email you should calm down and look over your email to make sure that your email doesn’t have anything written in it that is extremely uncalled for.

5. You should write in large fonts, therefore people can read and understand what you are trying to say clearly. Also they don’t have to strain their eyes in trying to read the small font on the computer.

6. The email that is sent out to a large number of people and is advertising is called SPAM!

7. You should always have something in the subject line, therefore the person receiving the email will know the topic and importance of the email. They will also know whether to waste their time reading it or not.

8. A good way to view many websites with opening many windows, is opening tabs. that way you can switch easily from one website to another. Tabs are very convenient and when you log off your user name, you can log back on and the tabs will have the same tabs.

9. Dogpile.com is a search engine however it gets results from Yahoo, Google Aks.com and more search engines.

10. Progress reports are due this Friday, the 12 of September.

September 8, 2008- Search engines

1. Google, Yahoo, and Ask.com are all search engines.

2. The first website listed on Google was Slightlystoopid.com and with Yahoo i got the same first website. Ask.com i also got Slightlystoopid.com

3. From previous experience i have found Google and Ask.com to be good search engines. However i normally use Google. With searching the band i got most of the same results with each search engine, but Google seemed to have the most results.

4. Google- The first website listed on Barack Obama was BarackObama.com and it was his official presidential campaign website. Then when i searched Sarah Palin, i got image results for her, but the website under that was wikipedia on Sarah Palin. For the Rolling Stones i got Therollingstones.com which is their online official fan club. When i searched Britney Spears i got MLive.com which was a website talking about Britney Spears at the VMAs.  The first website that came up for Jazmine Sullivan was the link to her myspace page.

Yahoo- When searching Barack Obama on Yahoo, i got the same first website as i did with Google; Barackobama.com which is his presidential campaign website. For Sarah Palin i got Indecision2008.com which is some comedic website about Sarah Palin. When i searched The Rolling Stones i go t Therollingstones.com, the same as Google, and it is a fan club website. When looking up Britney Spears on Yahoo i got a different first result of a website then Google. The website was Worldofbritney.com and that website features blogs,currant pictures and is a fan site. Again for Jazmine Sullivan i got her myspace link.

Ask.com- When i searched for Barack Obama on Ask.com i also got his campaign website, barackobama.com. For Sarah Palin, a different website came up called JohnMcCain.com.Palin which tells you more about Sarah Palin and her role as vice president for John McCain. When i searched The Rolling Stones, i got Sfae.com which contains prints from San Fransisco Art Exchange. For Britney Spears i got website about Britney at the VMAs. The website was MTV.com/VMA. Unlike Google and Yahoo, when i searched Jazmine Sullivan, i got jazminesullivanmusic.com which allows you to listen to a new song she has.

5. The search results for Wikipedia on Yahoo, Google and Dogpile all give you the same results. The website that comes up is the wikipedia homepage and it gives you a variety of languages to operate the online encyclopedia. When i clicked on the link on Mr. Bjerke’s blog, i got the purpose of wikipedia, a definition of how and what the site does. I found that Yahoo, Google, and Dogpile all gave me the same results when searching wikipedia on those search engines.
