Science of Database Implementation
Science of Database Implementation Databases have long been known around the office water
cooler as costly, important, difficult, and multifaceted. Looking at many history timelines and the
patterns of computer information technology companies; the database is getting frowned upon. The
Database implementation is getting old and showing wear and tear. Every company has data,
whether its how many hot dogs they are buying and whom is purchasing to what speed internet
should be available in which areas. It just depends on the company's profit and goals. Since, data is
so important how is it stored and kept. Companies are using databases to store their important
information that they will later make use of. There are now structuring and hosting options, hosted
warehouse environments, semantic data sores, and the increasingly popular cloud or virtualization.
Structured hosting would be DataWiki, WordPress Data, and many others. Some of the top picks for

Although the costs were high the desire a computer inside of the home was high. The Apple II gave
the user the ability to work at the office at home as well use the computer for entertainment, truly a
revelation for the modern home. I was seven years old in 1986, which was the year my parent
bought an Apple II C for Christmas for our family. The tragedy in all of this is that I used that same
computer in 1997 to type my senior project to graduate from high school. The Macintosh Portable
was introduced in 1989 and by design was built to be just as powerful the its desktop version but at a
weight of 17 pounds which can't compare to the MacBookPro that I am writing this paper on right

introduced System 7, which was a major upgrade in the operating system that added color to the
interface and added the ability for networking. The operating systems architecture remained the
same until 2001. The success of the PowerBook and other products started to bring sustainability
and profits to Apple. For some time, Apple was doing incredibly well, introducing fresh new
products and generating increasing profits in the process. The magazine MacAddict named the

Influence of Apple on Society
Influence of Apple
There is an incredibly small amount of companies that can claim part in completely changing a
consumer market. Even less can claim part in changing society. On the prestigious list of companies
who can make legitimate arguments for both of these groups, one stands out among the rest. Apple
Inc. has completely revolutionized society as well as their own market. Apple changed the entire
market of personal computers, innovating beyond what people even dreamed of, and Steve Jobs,
redefining the definition of a CEO. Apple is an iconic American company that is making a lasting
impression on society through their products and their story.
Part One: History of Apple
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak first created Apple Inc. privately as Apple Computers. Both kept
themselves close to the most up–to–date technology of the time. Steve Wozniak began attending
meetings with the Homebrew Computer Club. New microcomputers were being presented at the
Homebrew meetings and Wozniak was inspired to build his own personal computer. The only
microcomputer CPU's available at the time were $170–$179 which translates to $745–$785 today.
Steve Jobs happened to be at that Homebrew meeting and approached his old friend to discuss his
product. Wozniak first designed the product as a hobby. He wanted to be able to innovate technology
and push forward toward future technology. Jobs, however, was also interested in innovating
technology, but was more focused on the business

Impact Of Our Daily Lives Steve Jobs Essay
Eighty–Seven percent of Americans use the Intranet, many of us rely on it (Anderson, Monica).
Children are become more accustomed to the use of computers, and smartphones. Almost a staple in
today's society, computers can access vast amounts of information in seconds. Where would so
many of us be if we didn't have our computers, or smartphones? In a world so increasingly
dependent on technology. I would like to take a step back, and reflect on one of the critical people in

Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, CA. He was put up for adoption at a
young age, and was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs under the condition he attend college(Editors,
Biography). Jobs grew up with his now father experimenting with electronics in their garage.
Always fascinated by electronics, Steve later meets Steve Wozniak. The two become friends as they
discuss how they pranked people with the use of electronics (Moisescot, Romain). Around this time
in life Jobs attends College, but he only attends classes that interest him. With little money, Steve
Jobs drops out of college only six months after enrollment (Editors, Biography). Trying to find a
path in his life Jobs embarked on a journey to India to seek enlightenment (Deja). After returning,

How Apple Changed The Technology Industry
Many companies are actively advancing technology as we know it. One of the main contributors to
the technological era is Apple. Apple has made positive influences in the technology industry. From
introducing the PowerBook, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, Apple has changed the technology industry. Not
only has it changed the industry, but Apple has also influenced other companies too. Some
companies start with a small loan of a million dollars; Apple did not. They started in a garage with a
few friends and an idea. It was 1976 in a small garage in Los Altos, California that the Apple
company got its start. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak never imagined running a tech company. If one
of them wanted to, it would never happen. If they never met, it wouldn't have happened. Only
together, could they create the technology empire known as Apple. While not having much to start
with, they did have each other and it was enough to make it work (Blumenthal, 21). Steve Wozniak
is often forgotten when thought about the origins of the company, but he played the biggest part.

He didn't only pay attention to what was in his products but what they looked like and what they

what they make easier in our lives. No one goes out and says oh I'm going to buy a MP3 player
that's only 29.00$, they're going to want to buy Apples iPod even if they have the same software.
When you buy an apple product you're not just buying the actual product your buying what the

Triumph Of The Nerd Essay
Is it selfishness or a devotion to make the world a better place that is driving computer innovations?
For a short while, Imagine that you just have a unique tool with you, which no one in this world

forever. If somebody asks you that, what you are going to do with this tool? Can you share this with
others? Or will you retain it with you. So that you'll build billions out of it! Isn't it fascinating?
Depending on one's inclination and angle he could select either of those. Somebody can

Mechanical calculators came on the scene shortly after the slide rule was developed. Instead of
needing the operator to apply algorithms to perform calculations as was the case with manual
calculators, a mechanical calculator implemented algorithms autonomously. The operator entered
the numbers for the calculations and pulled a lever/turned a wheel and the calculation would be
carried out. Mechanical calculators were developed in 1623, one of them was called Shickard's
calculator, which contained a series of interlocking gears. It had ten spokes and each spoke on a gear
represented a digit. Each time that the gear made one complete revolution, it moved on to the next
gear which was one notch to the left in order to "carry the one". Moving on to 1642, Blaise Pascal
developed what was known as the pascaline. A pascaline was a mechanical device that was used for
both addition and subtraction as well as division and multiplication. Gottfried Whilhelm von Leibniz
created a similar calculator in 1673. In 1820, however, Thomas de Colmar's Arithmometer was the
first mass produced mechanical calculator. Soon, calculators wouldn't need human power in order to
operate. In 1822, Charles Babbage created plans for a device that would be called the "Difference
Engine" that would run only on steam power. It was made to rapidly and accurately calculate large
tables of numbers that were used for engineering and astronomical applications. The blueprints for

Spreadsheets History
A Brief History of Spreadsheets
by D. J. Power
Editor, DSSResources.COM
Spreadsheets have been used by accountants for hundreds of years. Computerized or electronic
spreadsheets are of much more recent origin. Information Systems oral history and some published
newspaper and magazine stories celebrate Dan Bricklin as the "father" of the electronic spreadsheet.
In 1978, Harvard Business School student, Daniel Bricklin, came up with the idea for an interactive
visible calculator (see email from Frankston, 4/15/1999a). Bricklin and Bob Frankston then co–
invented or co–created the software program VisiCalc. We can look back and recognize that
VisiCalc was the first "killer" application for personal computers.
What is a spreadsheet? ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Mattessich, Pardoe and Landau 's work and that of other developers of spreadsheets on mainframe
computers probably had no influence on Bricklin and Frankston. Therefore, a history of the modern
era of microcomputer–based electronic spreadsheets should begin with the "Tale of VisiCalc".
The tale of VisiCalc is part myth and part fact for most of us. The story is that Dan Bricklin was
preparing a spread sheet analysis for a Harvard Business School "case study" report and had two
alternatives: 1) do it by hand or 2) use a clumsy time–sharing mainframe program. Bricklin thought
there must be a better way. He wanted a program where people could visualize the spreadsheet as
they created it. His metaphor was "an electronic blackboard and electronic chalk in a classroom."
By the fall of 1978, Bricklin had programmed the first working prototype of his concept in integer
basic. The program helped users input and manipulate a matrix of five columns and 20 rows. The
first version was not very "powerful" so Bricklin recruited an MIT acquaintance Bob Frankston to
improve and expand the program. Bricklin calls Frankston the "co–creator" of the electronic
spreadsheet. Frankston created the production code with faster speed, better arithmetic, and
scrolling. He also expanded the program and "packed the code into a mere 20k of machine memory,
making it both powerful and practical enough to be run on a microcomputer". For more details

Personal Computers and Smarthphones
Apple, Google and Microsoft are three well–established companies all competing for the same
position, which is to be the leading company in the technology industry. Each company currently
has its own products and specialty; however they are all trying to enter new fields in order to
dominate the biggest share of the market. Apple is known for being more focused on developing
hardware devices, while Google is recognized for generating revenues through developing its own
software. Finally, Microsoft is famous for its deep–rooted grounds in the desktop operating system
industry. Even though each one of those companies has a strong foundation in their specified field,
they all suffer from a number of weaknesses that is making them struggle in achieving their goal.
Regardless of their weaknesses, these companies are wealthy enough to maintain their market
dominance regarding their specified field. All three companies have one thing in common; they are
all competing to be at the top of the technological triangle since the world is going to be depending
and relying on mobile computing devices.

He was right. Although he may have been right, Jobs was fired from Apple in 1985. Without Steve
Jobs, Apple started to trend down, and he rejoined the company in 1997 with a vision to bring it
back to the top. He released a "think different" ad campaign, featuring pictures of Albert Einstein,
John Lennon, and Thomas Edison that had one goal, to let people know the company still had a
pulse. As copywriter Rob Siltanen said, "it got the Apple faithful stirred up, it got the fence–sitters
back on board, and it got an audience that was lukewarm on Apple to think about the brand in a
whole new way."(CBC)4 Jobs had many visions and marketing schemes, but his two main
philosophies are summarized by the following: "to follow the principles of human engineering to
build "friendly" products whose simplicity and ease of use make them natural extensions of their
owners, and to create a worldwide customer service organization to service retailers, distributors,
and technical support centers, unmatched in the industry." (Elliot)1 Of course Jobs had his
shortcomings, as already mentioned, but his prowess for marketing and visions for building
companies could not be denied. Once he had an idea in mind, he would not stop until it was done,

The Invention Of The Steam Engine
Steam Engine
The invention of the steam engine served as a vital building block to the success of the first
Industrial Revolution. At first steam engines harnessed the power of coal to streamline the
manufacturing process. The invention led to the creation of mills and factories that were once filled
with manual labors. Meanwhile ships and trains fueled by steam engines soon moved manufactured
goods and people more efficiently than horse and buggy. The improved engines were soon used in
every industry from agriculture to textile production. In the textile industry it allowed for faster and
more efficient production without the threat of human error. By the end of its illustrious run, steam
power was instrumental in the development of waterways and railroad systems that led the Industrial
Revolution.
At the time though, the world feared industrial use of steam power would soon lead to greater
joblessness, replacing hard physical work and animal force that powered many industries. The
Luddites, in particular, protested that machine and automations would make humans redundant,
however after the steam engine replaced water wheels as a power source in manufacturing,
employment expanded from 1.2 million jobs in 1830 to 8.3 million by 1910. The overall success of
steam technology led to many new innovations and effectively its own demise

$50 billion. The software and services exports segment grew by 29 % to register revenues of $40.4
billion this year from $31.4 billion in last year. So from statistics point of view, everything is fine for
this industry. It will employ 4 million people in 2008 and account for 7% of gross domestic product

Because no two people are the same and their characteristics differ regardless if their approaches are
similar, there were some challenges to overcome for Apple whenever the long–time CEO stepped
down from his position shortly before his death in 2011. Steve Jobs led the company for a long

Steve Jobs And The Successful Startup Of Apple
Steve Jobs may be the most recognizable founder name as it relates to Apple, but two other men
played equally important roles in the successful startup of Apple: both Steve Wozniak and Ronald
Wayne. Jobs met Wozniak, or more commonly known as Woz, in a computer club that was held in a
garage in a California park (Rawlinson). Jobs and Wayne, on the other hand, were coworkers at
Atari and through their time together, they became friends. However, Wayne's time working with
Jobs and Woz was short lived, as he only invested financially in their start–up (Dormehl). Wozniak
was actually the one who produced the first Apple I computer by using a type–writer type keyboard
and a TV screen as the output device. However, he never had the intentions of changing the world,
just wanted to more–less showoff his geek skills. Jobs saw the cleverness of Woz's creation. He sold
it, and together, with Wayne, founded Apple Computer Inc. (Rawlinson)
The very first Apple computer was named Apple I (Figure 1). The story of deciding on how the
name Apple came about is still unknown. Woz thought it might have been because Steve Jobs often
worked on an orchard or maybe it was just a word that first came to mind. Each computer that was
made was handcrafted, and the initial selling price was marked at $666.66 with Byte Shop
purchasing fifty. This was their first customer. Only 200 of the first model were made when the

success really began with the Apple II (Rawlinson). The Apple II was a true innovation for its time

Brief History Of Computers Essay
The history of computers is a long and fascinating one. The computer was initially born out of
necessity, not just for entertainment, which is more or less how much people utilize computers these
days. In fact, computers were born out of a need to solve a serious number–crunching crisis. By
1880, the U.S. population had grown so large that it took more than seven years to tabulate the U.S.
Census results. The government sought a faster way to get the job done, giving rise to punch–card
based computers that took up entire rooms. (Zimmermann) Today, we carry more computing power
on our smartphones than was available in these early models. The following brief history of
computing is a timeline of how computers evolved from their humble beginnings to the machines of
today that surf the Internet, play games and stream multimedia in addition to crunching numbers.
(Zimmermann) 1801: In France, Joseph Marie Jacquard invents a loom that uses punched wooden
cards to automatically weave fabric designs. Early computers would use similar punch cards. 1822:
English mathematician Charles Babbage conceives of a steam–driven calculating machine that
would be able to compute tables of numbers. The project, funded by the English government, is a
failure. More than a century later, however, the world's first computer was actually built. 1890:

Even if your business employs large equipment for production, chances are those machines are
dependent upon a computer for one reason or another.Whether you are a manufacturing firm, or just
a small business with office computers, it is important that you have a policy in place that governs
the security of your computers. Your policy should inform your employees most importantly what
they can and cannot use the computers for. If you value your equipment at all, you would be prudent
to prohibit your employees from using flash drives and other media to transfer files from their home
pc to their work pc. Unless you have an experienced in–house IT department, you could rack up
quite the bill having viruses removed from infected computers. With the advent of social networking
sites such as Facebook, Identi.ca, LinkedIn, Twitter, among others, it may not be very popular to
prohibit internet usage for anything but business related activities. Though unpopular, you could
save yourself a lot of headaches in the future by preventing access to potentially malicious websites.

UNIVAC 1 was created to process data like Herman Hollerith's tabulator over 50 years before,
however UNIVAC 1 was then manufactured for other users and become the world's first large scale
commercial computer. The key period of the evolution of modern electronic computer is in between
the late 1930s and the early 1950s. Not all of them were invented by the mathematician or
physician. Among those machines were pioneering computers put together by english academics
notably Manchester/Ferrenti Mark 1, built at Manchester University by Frederic Williams and
Thomas Kilburn. And the EDSAC, Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator built by Maurice
Wilkes at Cambridge University. The microelectronic revolution started when they were using the
vacuum tubes it consume a lot of power supply. As a comparison the ENIAC used about 2000 times
as much electricity as the modern laptop. Not just that, the modern term for a problem that holds up
a computer program is a "bug". Popular legend has it that this word entered the vocabulary of
computer programmers sometimes in the 1950s when moths, attracted by the glowing lights of
vacuum tubes, flew inside machines and caused a short circuit. In order to create more advance
computer, would have needed hundreds of thousands or even millions of tubes, which would have

How Did Steve Jobs Become An Entrepreneur
Steve Jobs was an American business man. He was the co–founder and CEO of Apple and was a
large shareholder of Pixar studios, as well as a member of Walt Disney's board of directors. He is
most known for his microcomputer revolution during the 1970's, and was the pioneer of many
technologies we use today. He co–founded Apple alongside Steve Wozniak to sell their Apple 1
computer they made in their garage. Steve was born February 24, 1955 in San Francisco. He was
born out of wedlock and set up for adoption shortly after his birth, as the area he lived in was highly
Puritan. Paul and Clara Jobs ended up adopting him, under the circumstance that he go to college
(As decreed by his birth parents). They officially named him Steven Paul. While ... Show more

The two shared an interest in electronics and quickly became friends. They would often put
electronic devices together in their garage and try making money on the side. Their first "business"
was building Blue Boxes, which allowed you to use a pay phone for free. They stopped when the
police almost got them. In 1974, Jobs got his first job at Atari, the world's first video game company.
He eventually traveled to India after being fired from Atari. While he was in India, Wozniak got a
job at Hewlett Packard. It was like a dream job to him. While surrounded by other passionate
engineers, he was able to work on computer circuitry. After reviewing many other devices, he began
working on a computer that could fit inside an average room while taking up almost no space. He
showed his idea to Jobs, and the two of them decided to build the computer. The beginning was
filled with trouble. They had to sell many of their expensive valuables in order to get the funds to
start their work. Coming up with a name was also hard. Eventually Jobs said they would call it
"Apple" if they couldn't think of any better names, and Apple became the official name of their
business. Ron Wayne, one of Wozniak's colleagues from Atari, helped them get the necessary
paperwork and designed the logo for Apple. He ended up getting a 10% share of all profits, with
Jobs and Wozniak each getting 45%. Their first computer were circuit boards held in wooden

Steve Wozniak
Steve Wozniak was born in 1950 in San Jose, California. Woz grew up in Sunnyvale, California and
always enjoyed electronics as a kid, even making computer like projects in the fifth grade. Wozniak
became interested in electronics after he read a book about HAM radios. He built his own radio and
never stopped building his own electronics. He had friends on the street who were also interested in
electronics and they created wired house–to–house– intercoms to communicate with each other in
throughout middle and high school. During middle and high school, Woz won multiple awards in
science fairs and for mathematics. After graduating high school, he attended the University of
Colorado for a short period of time before returning home to study at ... Show more content on

After realizing this, Wozniak and Jobs met at the Homebrew Computer Club where different
engineers exchanged ideas and inventions. It was here that Wozniak was inspired to design what
would eventually become the Apple I computer. After Woz showed the computer to Steve Jobs he
was amazed by its potential. Jobs wanted to produce the computer and market it as he believed it
would be a commercial success. It was at this time that the Apple Computer Company was officially
founded on April 1, 1976. Other than creating Apple, Wozniak has made other great contributions to
technology. After taking a leave from Apple in 1980, Woz went back to Berkley to earn a degree in
computer science. Due to his participation in the technology field, he has also earned Honorary
Doctorates in Engineering at 11 other universities worldwide. He returned to Apple in 1982 and
joined the development team working on the Apple II. Woz was motivated to work on the Apple II
by his desire to always innovate on his previous inventions, namely the Apple I. While working on
the Apple II, Woz developed a floppy disk system that replaced the cassette systems used by every
other personal computer at the time. Due to tensions within the team, Woz split off and began
working on another project which would eventually be called the Macintosh. The Macintosh had
several breakthrough features, all of which Wozniak had a part in developing. The Macintosh was an

The Apple II gave the user the ability to work at the office at home as well use the computer for entertainment, truly a revelation for the modern home. I was seven years old in 1986, which was the year my parent bought an Apple II C for Christmas for our family. The tragedy in all of this is that I used that same computer in 1997 to type my senior project to graduate from high school. The Macintosh Portable was introduced in 1989 and by design was built to be just as powerful the its desktop version but at a weight of 17 pounds which can't compare to the MacBookPro that I am writing this paper on right now. After the Macintosh Portable, Apple introduced the PowerBook in 1991. That same year, Apple introduced System 7, which was a major upgrade in the operating system that added color to the interface and added the ability for networking. The operating systems architecture remained the same until 2001. The success of the PowerBook and other products started to bring sustainability and profits to Apple. For some time, Apple was doing incredibly well, introducing fresh new products and generating increasing profits in the process. The magazine MacAddict named the period between 1989 and 1991 as the "first golden age" of the Macintosh. This was evident through all of the home computing.

Even less can claim part in changing society. On the prestigious list of companies who can make legitimate arguments for both of these groups, one stands out among the rest. Apple Inc. has completely revolutionized society as well as their own market. Apple changed the entire market of personal computers, innovating beyond what people even dreamed of, and Steve Jobs, redefining the definition of a CEO. Apple is an iconic American company that is making a lasting impression on society through their products and their story. Part One: History of Apple Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak first created Apple Inc. privately as Apple Computers. Both kept themselves close to the most up–to–date technology of the time. Steve Wozniak began attending meetings with the Homebrew Computer Club. New microcomputers were being presented at the Homebrew meetings and Wozniak was inspired to build his own personal computer. The only microcomputer CPU's available at the time were $170–$179 which translates to $745–$785 today. Steve Jobs happened to be at that Homebrew meeting and approached his old friend to discuss his product. Wozniak first designed the product as a hobby. He wanted to be able to innovate technology and push forward toward future technology. Jobs, however, was also interested in innovating technology, but was more focused on the business ...

Where would so many of us be if we didn't have our computers, or smartphones? In a world so increasingly dependent on technology. I would like to take a step back, and reflect on one of the critical people in the evolution of our daily lives Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, CA. He was put up for adoption at a young age, and was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs under the condition he attend college(Editors, Biography). Jobs grew up with his now father experimenting with electronics in their garage. Always fascinated by electronics, Steve later meets Steve Wozniak. The two become friends as they discuss how they pranked people with the use of electronics (Moisescot, Romain). Around this time in life Jobs attends College, but he only attends classes that interest him. With little money, Steve Jobs drops out of college only six months after enrollment (Editors, Biography). Trying to find a path in his life Jobs embarked on a journey to India to seek enlightenment (Deja). After returning, Jobs runs into Steve Wozniak and they talk about a computer board Steve Wozniak designed. Jobs being an entrepreneur convince Wozniak they should sell these computer boards. With ...

Apple has made positive influences in the technology industry. From introducing the PowerBook, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, Apple has changed the technology industry. Not only has it changed the industry, but Apple has also influenced other companies too. Some companies start with a small loan of a million dollars; Apple did not. They started in a garage with a few friends and an idea. It was 1976 in a small garage in Los Altos, California that the Apple company got its start. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak never imagined running a tech company. If one of them wanted to, it would never happen. If they never met, it wouldn't have happened. Only together, could they create the technology empire known as Apple. While not having much to start with, they did have each other and it was enough to make it work (Blumenthal, 21). Steve Wozniak is often forgotten when thought about the origins of the company, but he played the biggest part. Wozniak was a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

CBS uses one of the 46 UNIVAC computers produced to predict the outcome of the 1952 Presidential Election. They do not air the prediction for 3 hours because they do not trust the machine. IBM introduces the 701 the following year. It is the first commercially successful computer. In 1956 FORTRAN is introduced(proposed 1954, it takes nearly 3 years to develop the compiler). Two additional languages, LISP and COBOL, are added in 1957 and 1958. Other early languages include ALGOL and BASIC. Although never widely used, ALGOL is the basis for many of today's languages. With the introduction of Control Data's CDC1604 in 1958, the first transistor powered computer, a new age dawns. Brilliant scientist Seymour Cray heads the development team. This year integrated circuits are introduced by two men, Jack Kilby and John Noyce, working independently. The second network is developed at MIT. Over the next three years computers begin affecting the day–to–day lives of most Americans. The addition of MICR characters at the bottom of checks is common.

Mechanical calculators came on the scene shortly after the slide rule was developed. Instead of needing the operator to apply algorithms to perform calculations as was the case with manual calculators, a mechanical calculator implemented algorithms autonomously. The operator entered the numbers for the calculations and pulled a lever/turned a wheel and the calculation would be carried out. Mechanical calculators were developed in 1623, one of them was called Shickard's calculator, which contained a series of interlocking gears. It had ten spokes and each spoke on a gear represented a digit. Each time that the gear made one complete revolution, it moved on to the next gear which was one notch to the left in order to "carry the one". Moving on to 1642, Blaise Pascal developed what was known as the pascaline. A pascaline was a mechanical device that was used for both addition and subtraction as well as division and multiplication. Gottfried Whilhelm von Leibniz created a similar calculator in 1673. In 1820, however, Thomas de Colmar's Arithmometer was the first mass produced mechanical calculator. Soon, calculators wouldn't need human power in order to operate. In 1822, Charles Babbage created plans for a device that would be called the "Difference Engine" that would run only on steam power. It was made to rapidly and accurately calculate large tables of numbers that were used for engineering and astronomical applications. The blueprints for the Difference Engine ...

Computerized or electronic spreadsheets are of much more recent origin. Information Systems oral history and some published newspaper and magazine stories celebrate Dan Bricklin as the "father" of the electronic spreadsheet. In 1978, Harvard Business School student, Daniel Bricklin, came up with the idea for an interactive visible calculator (see email from Frankston, 4/15/1999a). Bricklin and Bob Frankston then co– invented or co–created the software program VisiCalc. We can look back and recognize that VisiCalc was the first "killer" application for personal computers. What is a spreadsheet? ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Mattessich, Pardoe and Landau 's work and that of other developers of spreadsheets on mainframe computers probably had no influence on Bricklin and Frankston. Therefore, a history of the modern era of microcomputer–based electronic spreadsheets should begin with the "Tale of VisiCalc". The tale of VisiCalc is part myth and part fact for most of us. The story is that Dan Bricklin was preparing a spread sheet analysis for a Harvard Business School "case study" report and had two alternatives: 1) do it by hand or 2) use a clumsy time–sharing mainframe program. Bricklin thought there must be a better way. He wanted a program where people could visualize the spreadsheet as they created it. His metaphor was "an electronic blackboard and electronic chalk in a classroom." By the fall of 1978, Bricklin had programmed the first working prototype of his concept in integer basic. The program helped users input and manipulate a matrix of five columns and 20 rows. The first version was not very "powerful" so Bricklin recruited an MIT acquaintance Bob Frankston to improve and expand the program. Bricklin calls Frankston the "co–creator" of the electronic spreadsheet. Frankston created the production code with faster speed, better arithmetic, and scrolling. He also expanded the program and "packed the code into a mere 20k of machine memory, making it both powerful and practical enough to be run on a microcomputer". For more details ...

But there was a problem; the P'C's still had no real purpose or application to make everyone want to have one. It took the genius of Dan Brinklin, a professor at Harvard, to come up with the help of programmer Bob Franston, to come up with a spreadsheet program called Visicalc (visible calculator). Viscalc hit the market in 1979 selling for 100 dollars. It could do in seconds what it took an entire day for one person to do on a computer. The spreadsheet answered the "what if" questions. Thanks to Viscalc the Apple 2 made history. Unfortunately the creators of Viscalc did not patent their spreadsheet idea, thus they did not make the money that men like Jobs, Wozniak and Gates made.

At first steam engines harnessed the power of coal to streamline the manufacturing process. The invention led to the creation of mills and factories that were once filled with manual labors. Meanwhile ships and trains fueled by steam engines soon moved manufactured goods and people more efficiently than horse and buggy. The improved engines were soon used in every industry from agriculture to textile production. In the textile industry it allowed for faster and more efficient production without the threat of human error. By the end of its illustrious run, steam power was instrumental in the development of waterways and railroad systems that led the Industrial Revolution. At the time though, the world feared industrial use of steam power would soon lead to greater joblessness, replacing hard physical work and animal force that powered many industries. The Luddites, in particular, protested that machine and automations would make humans redundant, however after the steam engine replaced water wheels as a power source in manufacturing, employment expanded from 1.2 million jobs in 1830 to 8.3 million by 1910.

The common thread that researchers never diminish regardless of their differing views on the definition of the concept is the level of importance that it possesses (Toma & Marinescu, 2013, p. 262). It is not uncommon for an individual to also identify with more than one leadership style. Because no two people are the same and their characteristics differ regardless if their approaches are similar, there were some challenges to overcome for Apple whenever the long–time CEO stepped down from his position shortly before his death in 2011. Steve Jobs led the company for a long period of time and his approach to leading Apple is different from that of Tim Cook. It is not to say that Tim Cook will never achieve the status within the industry that Steve Jobs did even if their methods are different. Steve Jobs. As an entrepreneur, the keys to Jobs' success were broadcasted as the ability to "focus, simplify, take responsibility end to end, when behind, leapfrog, put products before profits, don't be a slave to focus groups, impute, push for perfection, tolerate only "A" players and know the big picture and the details" (Isaacson, 2012/2013, p. 56).

Steve Jobs And The Successful Startup Of Apple Steve Jobs may be the most recognizable founder name as it relates to Apple, but two other men played equally important roles in the successful startup of Apple: both Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. Jobs met Wozniak, or more commonly known as Woz, in a computer club that was held in a garage in a California park (Rawlinson). Jobs and Wayne, on the other hand, were coworkers at Atari and through their time together, they became friends. However, Wayne's time working with Jobs and Woz was short lived, as he only invested financially in their start–up (Dormehl). Wozniak was actually the one who produced the first Apple I computer by using a type–writer type keyboard and a TV screen as the output device. However, he never had the intentions of changing the world, just wanted to more–less showoff his geek skills. Jobs saw the cleverness of Woz's creation. He sold it, and together, with Wayne, founded Apple Computer Inc. (Rawlinson) The very first Apple computer was named Apple I (Figure 1). The story of deciding on how the name Apple came about is still unknown. Woz thought it might have been because Steve Jobs often worked on an orchard or maybe it was just a word that first came to mind. Each computer that was made was handcrafted, and the initial selling price was marked at $666.66 with Byte Shop purchasing fifty. This was their first customer.

While there were 200 Apple I computers produced, a significant amount for the time, Apple's success really began with the Apple II (Rawlinson). The Apple II was a true innovation for its time and completely revolutionized the computer market. However, it was not the Apple II itself that was amazing even though it had color graphics and a very high resolution for its time; it was what you could do with the computer that garnered so much interest, especially from businesses (Rawlinson). Dan Bricklin, a Harvard Business School student saw that he could create and run a program on the Apple II that could do a few different types of calculations – we know this today as a spreadsheet. The program or app, named VisiCalc, solidified Apple's place in the computer and technology industry (Rawlinson). After the Apple II came the Macintosh and then came the iMac.

  • 57. Brief History Of Computers Essay The history of computers is a long and fascinating one. The computer was initially born out of necessity, not just for entertainment, which is more or less how much people utilize computers these days. In fact, computers were born out of a need to solve a serious number–crunching crisis. By 1880, the U.S. population had grown so large that it took more than seven years to tabulate the U.S. Census results. The government sought a faster way to get the job done, giving rise to punch–card based computers that took up entire rooms. (Zimmermann) Today, we carry more computing power on our smartphones than was available in these early models. The following brief history of computing is a timeline of how computers evolved from their humble beginnings to the machines of today that surf the Internet, play games and stream multimedia in addition to crunching numbers. (Zimmermann) 1801: In France, Joseph Marie Jacquard invents a loom that uses punched wooden cards to automatically weave fabric designs. Early computers would use similar punch cards. 1822: English mathematician Charles Babbage conceives of a steam–driven calculating machine that would be able to compute tables of numbers. The project, funded by the English government, is a failure. More than a century later, however, the world's first computer was actually built. 1890: Herman Hollerith designs a punch card system to calculate the 1880 census, accomplishing the task in just three years and saving the government $5 ...

During his time there, he shared his ideas about computer projects with other workers. He acquired computer chips from these workers that he would not have been able to get otherwise. Telnet was not successful at selling its computer, so it closed in 1970 (Kendall 17). However, his love and dedication towards computers would lead to the development of the first Apple computer. In 1971, Steve and his friend Bill Hernandez designed a pretty good computer and his mother was impressed. She contacted a local newspaper company to do a report on it. They were very excited to explain the operation and specs to the reporter, but that is not how it happened. When the reporter came to see the computer, they started the computer up and the blinking lights came on. After that, someone stepped on the power cord, which caused the computer to start smoking, and then stopped working. The reporter quickly left and only wrote a small article on their computer (Kendall 18). Steve decided it was time to choose a school based on its engineering program. He chose to go to the University of California at Berkeley, because it was one of the best (Kendall 19). This is where he met the most important friend, Steve Jobs.

Essay Even if your business employs large equipment for production, chances are those machines are dependent upon a computer for one reason or another.Whether you are a manufacturing firm, or just a small business with office computers, it is important that you have a policy in place that governs the security of your computers. Your policy should inform your employees most importantly what they can and cannot use the computers for. If you value your equipment at all, you would be prudent to prohibit your employees from using flash drives and other media to transfer files from their home pc to their work pc.
