PEOPLES
1963
- Wilhem Schikard (German Scientist) – Invented 11 complete and 6 incomplete wheel that can
add and divide.
1642
- Blaise Pascal (French philo, mathematician, and physicist) added subtracting ro the machine and
burrow digits column to column and build 50 of his machine but mostly use by wealthy
17th Century.
Early 1820s
- Herman Hollerith (American Inventor) combined the use of punched cards with devices that
created and electronically read the
cards.
- Hollerith’s Tabulating Machine Company eventually merged with two companies to
form the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company. In 1924 the company changed its name
to International Business Machines (IBM).
1936
- Alan Turing (British mathematician) invented turing machine that use symbols for math and logic
instead of letters. Proposed the idea of no human direction of a machine that can solve equation
1930s
John von Neumann (Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, Hungarian-American
mathematician)
ENIAC
ABC
1948
Walter Houser Brattain, John Bardeen, and William Bradford Shockley developed the transistor, a
device that can act as an electric switch.
In the late 1960s, integrated circuits (ICs) revolutionized computing by combining transistors and
components on a single chip. This innovation, pioneered by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce, led to the
development of modern microprocessors in the 1970s. Today’s microprocessors, containing over 40
million transistors, reflect significant advances in processing power and miniaturization.
ADDITIONALS
- Computers were developed in the late 1940s and early 1950s, and were designed initially
for military and governmental uses.
The microprocessor was developed in 1971 by Dr. Ted Hoff, who at that time worked for
Intel.
- Using the microprocessor technology, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built the first Apple
computer.
- In 1980, Bill Gates worked with IBM to develop the disc operating system for the IBM PC.
- Categories are based on size, function, cost, and performance and include: desktop, mobile,
midrange, mainframe, and super computers.
Blaised Pascal
- invented a machine in 1642 that added and subtracted, automatically carrying and borrowing
digits from column to column.
Supercomputer
- An extremely fast computer that can perform hundreds of millions of instructions per secs.
Computer
- Used to control other objects such as telephones, appliances, and scientific experiments.
Gottfried Leibniz
Joseph-Marie Jacquard
- prepared extensive notes concerning Babbage’s ideas and the Analytical Engine
Hybrid Computer
- A combination of computers those are capable of inputting and outputting in both digital and
analog signals
Turing Machine
- Proposed the idea of machine that could process equation without human direction
Howard Aiken
1- Vacuum Tubes
2- Transistors
3- Integrated Circuits
4- Microprocessor
Analog Computer
- A form of computer that uses continuous physical phenomena such as electrical, mechanical, or
hydraulic quantities to model the problem being solved.
Miniframe/s
- Very large and expensive computer capable of supporting hundreds, or even thousands, of users
simultaneously
Workstation
DATA
Procedures
Software
- refers to the instructions or programs that tell the computer to do a specific task
Hardware
Peopleware
- represent the personnel involves in system analysis, programming, computer operation, system
maintenance, and the like.
Information
- data that have been processed and presented in a form suitable for the user or human to
interpret or understand.
Mini Computer
Charles Babbage
Digital Computer
- A computer that performs calculations and logical operations with quantities represented as
digits, usually in the binary number.
1980
- Bill Gates worked with IBM to develop the disc operating system for the IBM PC
Tower Model
- Devices (are tall) are stacked on top of each other in a cabinet. Ex CPU
Desktop Model
Notebook Computer
- extremely lightweight personal computer. Notebook computers typically weigh less than 6
pounds and are small enough to fit easily in a briefcase.
Laptop Computer
- A small, portable computer -- small enough that it can sit on your lap. Nowadays, laptop
computers are more frequently called notebook computers.
Hand-held Computer
Palmtop
A digital system can understand positional number system only where there are a few symbols
called digits and these symbols represent different values depending on the position they
occupy in the number.
A value of each digit in a number can be determined using
▰ The digit
▰ The position of the digit in the number
▰ The base of the number system (where base is defined as the total number of digits
available in the number system).

INTEGRITY
Bathsheba Syndrome
§ Reference to the biblical story of King David, who became corrupted by his power and success
§ Moral corruption of those in power is facilitated when people choose to ignore their leaders
inappropriate behavior
§ Requires listed companies to have code applicable to all employees, senior management, and
directors
§ Code of ethics
§ Company-wide acceptance requires employee participation and endorsement by the leadership
§ Must be easily accessible by employees, shareholders, business partners, and the public
§ Must continually be applied to a company’s decision making and be an important part of its culture
Social Audit
§ Organization reviews its ethical and social
responsibility goals, and communicates its goals
for the upcoming year
§ Information is shared with the:
- Stakeholders
- Market analysts
- Government agencies
- Communities in which the organization operates
Problem statement
••Clear and concise description of the issue
Utilitarian approach
••Measuring and comparing the values of certain benefits and costs is difficult
••Predict the full benefits and harm that result from a decision is difficult
Fairness approach
••Decisions can be influenced by personal bias
••Affected parties may consider the decision unfair
Summary
§ Ethics is important because the risks associated with inappropriate behavior have increased
§ Organizations have at least five good reasons for encouraging employees to act ethically
§ To gain the good will of the community
§ To create an organization that operates consistently
§ To foster good business practices
§ To protect the organization and its employees against legal action
§ To avoid unfavorable publicity
§ Organizations require successful ethics programs
§ The corporate ethics officer ensures that ethical procedures are installed and followed
§ Managers’ behaviors and expectations can strongly influence employees’ ethical behavior
§ Most of us have developed a simple decision- making model that includes five steps
§ Ethical considerations must be incorporated into decision making
