Rubrics: 10 points (Organization-5; Content-5)
1. Which of the Four Basic Periods of Computer History do you like
or you are interested in the most and why? Kindly present your
opinions/ ideas by comparing and/ or contrasting the Four Periods.
Among the four basic periods of computer history, the one that I
like the most or the one that I find interesting is the
Electromechanical Age (1840-1940). This period got my attention
because out of all the periods, I think it is the simplest yet useful
technology. Even though it is not as high-tech as the Electronic
Age, the discoveries in this period are enough to make the work of
the people easier. I also like the idea of telegraph and the use of
morse code. For me, it is a combination of classic and modern
period of computer. Classic but more developed than the Pre-
mechanical and Mechanical Age.
