28. 1st computer programmer – wrote the instructions for Babbage’s
engine and foresaw the machine had capabilities beyond
calculations
Also coins the word “Artificial Intelligence”
30. First Automatic Electronic Digital Computer
ABC pioneered important elements of modern computing,
including binary arithmetic and electronic switching elements,
but its special-purpose nature and lack of a changeable, stored
program distinguish it from modern computers.
31. The first electronic general-purpose computer. It was Turing-
complete, digital, and capable of being reprogrammed to solve
"a large class of numerical problems"
35. Semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic
signals and electrical power.
The transistor is the fundamental building block of modern
electronic devices, and is ubiquitous in modern electronic
systems.
36. Use transistors for added speed and reliability
Jack Kilby’s idea to link transistors on a circuit board made it
possible to build cheaper, smaller computers.
37. Started a company that later became IBM
Invents the 1st electric calculator to count and sort census data
from punch cards
38. Oversaw that company's growth into an international force from 1914 to
1956. Watson developed IBM's distinctive management style and
corporate culture, and turned the company into a highly-effective selling
organization, based largely around punched card tabulating machines.
A leading self-made industrialist, he was one of the richest men of his
time and was called the world's greatest salesman when he died in 1956.[
39. “The greatest capitalist in history" and one of "100 most
influential people of the 20th century“
Tom Jr. took the company in a new direction, hiring electrical
engineers by the hundreds and putting them to work designing
mainframe computers
54. Refers to the physical devices used to store programs
(sequences of instructions) or data (e.g. program state
information) on a temporary or permanent basis for use in a
computer or other digital electronic device
55. A central processing unit (CPU) is the hardware within a
computer that carries out the instructions of a computer
program by performing the basic arithmetical, logical, and
input/output operations of the system.

63. Computer game originally in 1971 was designed to teach school children about
the realities of 19th century pioneer life on the Oregon Trail. The player
assumes the role of a wagon leader guiding his or her party of settlers
Designed to encourage adoption of the Apple IIe
