Numeric Integrator and Computer Storage Automatic Calculator
2. Slower than EDSAC Faster than ENIAC

Real life Connections

1. Hollerith's Tabulating Machine → Big Data & Government Use


• Used for the 1890 U.S. Census; today, data drives elections, city planning, and even
TikTok algorithms.
• Real Life: Students live in a world shaped by data—social media, targeted ads, search
results, etc.

2. UNIVAC Predicting the 1952 Election → Predictive Algorithms Today


• UNIVAC shocked the world by accurately predicting an election outcome.
• Real Life: Algorithms now predict shopping trends, weather, Netflix shows—using the
same concept of data forecasting.
