Quantum Mechanics Truth Value
1,656 wordster>Sam Vaknin's Psychology, Philosophy, Economics and Foreign Affairs Web Sites In 1936 an American (Alonzo Church) and a Briton (Alan M. Turing) published independently (as is often the coincidence in science) the basics of a new branch in Mathematics (and logic): computability or recursive functions (later to be developed into Automata Theory). The authors confined themselves to dealing with computations which involved effective or mechanical methods for finding...

Von Neumann Vacuum Tubes
1,809 words... ly met with Atanasoff and Berry, he used the ABC as the basis for the next computer development. From this association ultimately would come a lawsuit, considering attempts to get patents for a commercial version of the machine that Mauchly built. The suit was finally decided in 1974, when it was decided that Atanasoff had been the true developer of the ideas required to make an electronic digital computer actually work, although some computer historians dispute this decision. But during the...

Large Scale Integration Long Term Effects
3,925 words# 1. The History As the computer revolution continues along at its furious pace one wonders where we are heading. Will we eventually live in an automated utopia where we lounge about, or might our creations destroy us as in the Terminator movies? Will the Internet make its vast knowledge available to all, or will it further the separation between the haves and have nots. While there are many good things that stem from computers there is a dreadful weakness. We as a nation and a world are addicte...

3,698 wordsDevelopment of Computers and Technology Computers in some form are in almost everything these days. From Toasters to Televisions, just about all electronic things has some form of processor in them. This is a very large change from the way it used to be, when a computer that would take up an entire room and weighed tons of pounds has the same amount of power as a scientific calculator. The changes that computers have undergone in the last 40 years have been colossal. So many things have changed ...

Large Scale Integration Electronic Digital Computer
3,222 wordsHISTORY OF COMPUTERS Historically, the most important early computing instrument is the abacus, which has been known and widely used for more than 2, 000 years. Another computing instrument, the astrolabe, was also in use about 2, 000 years ago for navigation. Blaise Pascal is widely credited with building the first digital calculating machine in 1642. It performed only additions of numbers entered by means of dials and was intended to help Pascals father, who was a tax collector. In 1671, Gottf...
