In the beginning they had much smaller bits and could only be used for the English language. -Jenny Jerry https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1195160135 2021-02-12 02:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1195160135 I learned that IBM and the computer boom actually took off after Hollerith used his punch card method for the U.S. Census which made calculating 10 times faster. --Jenny Jerry https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1195161859 2021-02-12 02:02:25 UTC https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1195161859 https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1743772585 I learned that the early censuses took years to calculate. -Nat]]> 2021-09-15 19:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1743772585 https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1748791677 I had no clue there was such a thing as Boolean Algebra. I thought Algebra was algebra and that was it. But Boolean brought so many different factors into it.  -Joe R]]> 2021-09-17 14:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1748791677 Didn't know about the origin for the word bug. https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1750623995 Jason]]> 2021-09-18 16:34:08 UTC https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1750623995 Joseph P. Ganz https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1750959910 One new thing that I learned about computers in this video was just the sheer size of the computers that were used in the 1940's and the 1950's. they where most often the size of whole rooms to calculate what today a average laptop can do in seconds and that those computers would in turn take hours or sometimes days to calculate even a handful of problems at that time. I also found it interesting that one of the computers that was one of the first to use vacuum tubes also did more calculations than all humans that existed before it throughout human history. I also can make a connection to what we are learning in class right now by how we are about to learn more about Binary, Decimal notation, and Hexadecimal notation in the coming weeks. All are forms of network addressing for particularly IP addresses. The logical anchor points in any given network to allow for a focal point to direct data to a certain sectors of the internet.]]> 2021-09-18 23:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1750959910 CC3 https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1751105661 I learned that there was a guy named Boolean who created Boolean Algebra.

-Ethan Look]]> 2021-09-19 03:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1751105661 I never thought of the fact that not everyone's computer would be able to handle characters from other languages as most take for granted now. (I found that it was cool they came up with Unicode to fix those problems.) -McKenna Aldach https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1751880820 2021-09-19 15:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1751880820 I have never heard of an XOR before and it's got me thinking if in programing when using boolean expressions if when using OR is like XOR or if they use both OR & XOR as I never used an OR and also an AND. The setup for XOR really got me thinking because I was seriously wondering how it would be laid out circuit-wise since I have been messing with circuit stuff on Minecraft (Redstone machines). I truly enjoyed the explanation of how they did this. -McKenna Aldach https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1751883672 2021-09-19 15:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1751883672 So I have heard from my previous course talk about the history of technology mentioning the abacus but never how to use it. I was always interested in knowing how it worked since, in some cultures, students at a young age are taught to only use the abacus and learned to be insanely quick about it, solving math problems in the billions in seconds. -McKenna Aldach https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1751887252 2021-09-19 15:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1751887252 I found it very interesting how they came up with the idea of vacuum tubes and used them for their computers. I can definitely see now why it's called "computer science" as lots of science was used for the earlier computers to function. - McKenna Aldach https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1751888331 2021-09-19 15:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1751888331 https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1752276727 I learned that Grace hopper coined the term Bugs with computer problems. Grace Hopper was one of first Navy ITs. I studied the history of how she had such a huge role in computers and the navy. - Connor Prince]]> 2021-09-19 19:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1752276727 https://padlet.com/trogers152/7uvkbadkfg6gqi7q/wish/1752782124 That the first tabulating machine was electromechanical and that is kind of cool
