Pascal
(Http://www.pascaline.com)Was a German mathematician who was famous for creating the Pascaline.The Pascaline was created to add and subtract problems.It was a digital machine therefore it was like the abacus,but it was more complex,especially for the era that they lived in. -
Ada Byron
Ada Byron countess of Lovelace was a famous french mathematician, she is known for enhancing the work of Charles Babbage the analytical engine.she helped program it and added a bit of her own ideas and correction to make it easier to use. -
Burroughs
William Burroughs was a famous inventor know for the adding machine and the listing machines.It took him seven years to manual place the tabulations from the 1880 census.It was required to be finished by the 1900 so it was causing problems but later was solved and worked right -
Hollerith
Dr. Hollerith was an employee at the census office,His own invention was the electromechanical punch card tabulator.this helped sort files to help non english speakers and speaker make it easier to sort and file things -
Babbage
Babbage was a famous mathematician an inventor.One of his most popular inventions that made him recognizable was the analytical engine,it used mechanical memory which helped do math easier and much quicker, so this helped so you wouldnt use as much paper and make much errors.It also used punch cards to help with the steps to do calculations.The engine was steam powered but it was too hard to use in that era -
The Harvard Mark 1
The Harvard Mark 1 was part of the IBM company and sparked a great part of the 1930.It was one of the biggest and longest electromechanical devices of the time.though it was also one of the fastest of that time it still wasnt fast enough. -
Grace Hopper
She was a commissioned lieutenant and was ordered to the OCP at Harvard. She was the first programmer for the navy mark 1. She was the first ti say the term bug for a virus in a software -
ENIAC
The ENIAC was designed for the military for World war 2.It was used to compute tables and to count the number of artillery shells.The ENIAC was a big machine it had tubes from vacuums which helped it be 1000 times faster than the Harvard Mark 1.

IAS computer and Binary number system
Also called the general-purpose computer AKA the IAS was created by John Von Neumann, later he created the binary number system to make the IAS easier to use .Von Neumann saw that this method was much easier to use than past technology invented,so he came out with the term called bit (BINARY DIGIT) and a binary digit it can be numbers 1 or 2.

Memory and storage
The memory also known as the RAM holds and stores any information from any device until needed.The memory also helps sort and give directions to help out in the device.It is also computed with many wires to help store things better.The storage is like the right hand of the memory it helps do calculations and helps store things in the correct order.It has an electric current which means that it can let it flow easily or it can damage the whole system. -
Hardware
Hardware is used in a a bigger digital device that consist only of memory and the processor. Hardware is the physical equipment that is used for the make of the computer itself and consist of input and output devices. (www.wired.com) -
Imput and Output
The input is used to help the operator like the keyboard. It helps with instruction and data of the computer , it includes modems. The output translates the processed data to make it understandable to the user, typical output devices use printers and modems.
