4. Innovations and Advances The SEAC (Standards Eastern Automatic Computer) - The SEAC was the first computer to use all-diode logic, a technology more reliable than vacuum tubes, and the first stored-program computer completed in the United States. data, and output. The A-o Compiler - The A-0 Complier was created in 1952 by Grace Hopper, it was the first program that allows a computer user to use English-like words instead of numbers TX-0 - Built by MIT professors, the TX-O was the first ‘;general purpose, programmable computer built with transistors the TX-0 moved to the MIT Research Laboratory of lectronics, ere it hosted some early imaginative tests of programming, including a Western movie shown on TV, 3-D tic-tac-toe, and a maze in which mouse found martinis and became increasingly inebriated The Sage (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) This was the first large scale computer communication network, it connected many radar stations in Canada and the United States At MIT people Began working ou n a direct input keyboard for computers, this lead to modern keyboards. The first hard disk drive was created by ibm
