In the 70’s the creator of the first language in that era was Niklaus Wirth. His language was called “Pascal.” It was named after a mathematician named Blaise Pascal. The language was aimed to ease the building of compilers, and to lead teaching by forcing to a structured programming. However, one of the more popular programming languages in the 70’s was called “C.” It was created in 1973 by Dennis Ritchie. It was firstly destinated to program the UNIX operating system.
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT INVENTION OF THE 1980’S There were many significant innovations and inventions of the 1980’s but there can only be one greatest invention and through my research I discovered that that was by far and undoubtedly the invention of Windows 1 which was released in November 1985. The invention of Windows by Bill Gates of Microsoft allowed America and other nations all over the world to access computers and opened the doorway for the personal computer in every home. Windows brought the icon to the desktop and allowed the running of mini programs to begin by simply clicking on its icon. To open another screen the user simply had to click on that other screens icon. This type of use made learning Windows both automatic and enjoyable.
UNIT 33: THE IMPACT OF COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY ON BUSINESS Describe how the internet operates 1. What is the internet? When and how did it start? The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks (a network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission they get information from any other computer (and sometimes talk directly to users at other computers). the 1960s and 1970s, the US Department of Defense funded programs where computer scientists were paid to develop Internet protocols.
Solutions to Review Questions 1. What were the main forces that led to the commercialization of the Internet? Summarize your answer in about 100 words. The Internet was born out of the need for the U.S. government, specifically the Defense Department, to communicate with its weapons installation distributions all over the world. This idea, in the hands of researchers and scientists evolved even further allowing those researchers the capability to communicate with their colleagues at other universities.
Assignment 1: Computer Architecture Professor David Moore Course Title: CIS 106: Introduction to Technology 4 May 2014 ------------ Assignment 1: Computer Architecture In the field of computers, advances could be countered on one hand. Von Neumann, a mathematician, had an idea to utilize stored memory in the CPU ( Chapman, 1995). The von Neumann architecture goes back to the original computers intended to undertake precise instructions, and is the first written account of how computers should store programs and process data. In 1945, von Neumann published a report on the EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) in which he outlined his design for the first stored-program computer. In the days of the initial electronic computing, software design was tantamount with joining wires to plugs.
Why was it created? Use your textbook and Internet research to support your answer. TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Program(Protocol is the earlier version) and Internet Protocol. These two were created basically at the same time by 2 Darpa Scientists without one it would be hard to nearly impossible to have the other. This system was created because it was a way that any network could communicate with another through a gateway.
Within the following decade, ARPANET was created and deployed to Universities, forming the original network. Additional networks separate from ARPANET, from around the world established for the use in science, military and for commercial use. These networks adapted to one another and eventually merged to form the modern internet. From the first use of ARPANET, it was used to send messages between computers. The modern internet has since revolutionized the way we communicate.
The changes in typography, brought about by the influence of computers, dates back twenty years. ‘In 1985, Adobe Systems introduced PostScript, a language for defining graphical pages’ (Biľak, P. 2000). This software was the most important factor in the form of present typography, as it allowed fonts to be designed and distributed independently of manufacturers of the systems on which they were printed (King, E. 1999b). Postscript language development gave control to the designer, increased accessibility (Biľak, P. 2000), and reduced production costs (Garnliel, Sandy 1988). In 1986, Alsys Fontographer was released and by 1988 anyone with the right desktop tools could manufacture type to be used on a variety of typesetting systems (King, E. 1999b).
People nowadays can communicate with people all around the world using many different types of communications such as social networking sites, cell phones, emails, etc. Carr brings in many different scientific research as well as a couple of personal experiences to show the great change in technology and the internet. The author chose to write The Shallows from an epiphany he had realized, “It (his brain) was hungry. It was demanding to be fed by the net feed...I wanted to check email, click links, do some googling. I wanted to be connected” (Carr 16).
It was one of the first retailers to use a 24 x 7 toll-free telephone number and the Internet for direct sales to consumers. A decade ago, 1-800-Flowers was a business waiting eagerly for the Internet to take off. Today, the company has an e-commerce platform that can grow along with its business. For the delivery of smiles, 1-800-FLOWERS implemented more scalable, centralized e-commerce platform to support its rapid business growth. Also the company fills its orders in two ways: through a network of florists and through drop shipments.
