2 The First "Computers" The word "computer" was first recorded in 1613 Referred to a person who performed calculations Evidence of counting is traced to at least 35,000 BC Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 2 Ishango Bone Tally Stick: Science Museum of Brussels Component 4/Unit 1

3 Abacus—The First Calculator Invented by Babylonians in 2400 BC—many subsequent versions Used for counting before there were written numbers Still used today Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 3 The Chinese Lee Abacus http://www.ee.ryerson.ca/~elf/abacus/ Component 4/Unit 1

4 Slide Rules By the Middle Ages, number systems were developed John Napier discovered/developed logarithms at the turn of the 17 th century William Oughtred used logarithms to invent the slide rude in 1621 in England Used for multiplication, division, logarithms, roots, trigonometric functions Used until early 70's when electronic calculators became available Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 4 William OughtredJohn Napier Component 4/Unit 1

5 Mechanical Computers Use mechanical parts to automate calculations Limited operations First one was the ancient Antikythera computer from 150 BC Used gears to calculate position of sun and moon Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 5 Fragment of Antikythera mechanism Component 4/Unit 1

Based on vacuum tubes 1937-1941: Atanasoff-Berry at Iowa State 1940s: Colossus: secret German code- breaker 1940s: Electronic numerical integrator and computer (ENIAC): Mauchly & Eckert at U. of Penn. Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 18Component 4/Unit 1

19 ENIAC Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 19 ENIAC Computer Component 4/Unit 1

20 Women Were the First Programmers! Computers were used to calculate ballistics tables during WWII Men were off at war Women were hired to program the computers Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 20Component 4/Unit 1

21 Universal Automatic Computer (UNIVAC I) First commercially available computer, 1951, Remington Rand At this same time, Robert Ledley started using computers for dental records at National Bureau of Standards Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 21 UNIVAC I Component 4/Unit 1

22 Second Generation: Transistors First transistor 1947, Bell laboratories, germanium Silicon transistors soon followed Smaller, used less power, generated less heat than vacuum tubes IBM 1401 used transistors Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 22 Transistors http://www.at-mix.de/transistor.htm Component 4/Unit 1

23 Third Generation: Integrated Circuits and Minicomputers Robert Noyce and Jack St. Clair Kilby invented the integrated circuit Large mainframes used integrated circuits to increase processing speed and storage Minicomputers, such as the PDP and VAX computers could be smaller because of the integrated circuit Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 23Component 4/Unit 1

24 Fourth Generation: Microcomputers Intel released first microprocessor chip: the 4004 in 1971 for desktop calculators Intel 8080 was released in 1974, 4500 transistors – first general purpose microprocessor Microcomputers not meant to replace minicomputers Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 24 Intel 4004 Component 4/Unit 1

25 Supercomputers Supercomputers at the time used integrated circuits Cray Supercomputers started in 1976 Still in business Used vector processors to do operations in parallel Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 25 Cray 1 computer at EPFL at Lausanne Component 4/Unit 1

26 Early Electronic Medical Records At this time, early EMRs were developed Dr. Morris Collen began storing patient data at Kaiser Permanente in the late 1960's COSTAR was developed at Massachusetts General in 1968 Health Evaluation through Logical Processing (HELP) was started at LDS Hospital in 1967 The concepts and plans that eventually became VA VistA were developed in 1970's Component 4/Unit 1 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 1.0/Fall 2010 26
