2. The Generations of Computers By Chad Schmidt

3. The first form of computers  Abacus  Found in Babylonia Chad Schmidt

4. The Calculator  Invented by Konrad Zuse  German Engineer Chad Schmidt

5. Computer Ignition  IBM creates the first computer and becomes the standard for the industry.  Minicomputer introduced.  Word Processors introduced.  More available memory. Chad Schmidt

6. The Computer World takes off  Apple begins to sell its first computer.  IBM and Apple merge to create the top selling PC.  Apple captures over 50% of the market. Chad Schmidt

7. The internet Explodes  First developed to communicate to select companies and business in 1973.  1991 the World Wide Web explodes and becomes the information super highway. Chad Schmidt

8. Woman's contributions to to computer technology. By Karen Ma

9.  Transistor: Solid state semiconductor device. Used for amplification, switching.  Binary Machine Language: A set of instructions for s specific central processing unit. Also called machine cod. It is composed only of binary digits 0 and 1.  Assembly Language: Consists of both binary numbers and simple words. Also recognized as Mnemonics  High Level Programming Language: Complex elements can be simplified.  COBOL: Third-generation programming. Processed excellent self- documenting capabilities, file handling methods and exceptionally good data typing for the time. Karen Ma

10. Ada Augusta Lovelace  Born December 10, 1815.  British Mathematician.  Helped develop early computer.  Collaborated with Babbage to invent the Analytical Machine. Karen Ma

11. Grace Hopper  Born in 1906.  American Navy officer also mathematician.  Invented the first compiler (1952)  Helped develop the Flow- Matic programming language (1957) and the first commercial electronic computer. Karen Ma

12. Annie Eastley  Born 1933 in Birmingham, Alabama.  Working at the National Aeronautics and Space Administrations Lewis Research Center.  Developed and implemented computer codes that are used to determine solar, wind and energy projects for NASA. Karen Ma

13. Jean Sammet  Born 1928 in New York City.  Worked at Sylvania Electric Products and managed the basic software development.  Created the computer languages such as FLOW-MATIC, LISP, BASIC and COBOL. Karen Ma

14. Sandra L. Kurtzig  Born 1947.  Encountered a customer who needed a tracking system for inventory.  Sold business information systems. Karen Ma

15.  Parallel Processing  Quantum Computation  Nanotechnology  GUI  Handhelds Abraham Panduro

16. Women involvement in Computers and Artificial Intelligence Ulysses Carretero

17.  (Source: Pitkow and Kehoe, 1996) Ulysses Carretero

18.  “Virtual reality has an infinity of possibilities, its just an open world where your mind is the only limitation.” – Jaron Lanier, Developed term “Virtual Reality” Ulysses Carretero

19.  Microprocessor  CPU  Operating System  Application Ulysses Carretero

20. Woman have influenced today's technological environment.  Augusta Ada, Lady Lovelace: the worlds first computer programmer.  Lois M. Haiby, Grace Elizabeth Mitchell, Bernyce Brady and Bev Davis developed FOLTRAN.  Gertrude Tieney, Nora Taylor, Jean Sammet, Deborah Davidson and Sue Knaop along with many other woman contributed to the development of COBOL Ulysses Carretero

21.  Dr. Thelma Estrin: Designed and established the first general computer facility for brain research.  Elise Hormon and Edith Olson : Developed printed circuits which helped convert a 50 foot long computer in an entire silicone chip. Ulysses Carretero

22. Woman continually develop sophisticated innovations.  Portia Isaacson Bass: developed “Intellihome”  Evelyn Berezin: developed the first online airline-reservation system for United Airlines.  Anne Chiang: “Leading Electrophoretic Scientist” of her time. Ulysses Carretero

23. The Next Generation of Computers  Artificial Intelligence: the ability to perform the same kinds of functions that characterize human thought.  Could these technologies reproduce male dominance and female submission? Ulysses Carretero

24. Autumn Stanley’s definition of Artificial Intelligence is the broad spectrum of theoretical and practical work, ranging from smart copiers to downloading the contents of a human brain. James Romero

25. Problem Solving for the United States Army

26. Dr. Angelica Stacy Invents Two Superconductors

27. Computers as Aids for Instruction

28. Artificial Limbs

29. Fortran  Is a statically typed, compiled (sometimes interpreted), imperative, computer programming language.

30. Conclusion (clap)  Five key terms – fortran, integrated circuit, transistor, silicon chip, semiconductors.  Uses of AI – problem solving,, superconductors, educational aids.
