The Turing machine, can read, write, scan and remember binary numbers on a tape
uses the machine to test if there are any conditions where it can predict if it will fail and if there are any conditions where it can predict whether a symbol till be predicted
There wasn't much of a social necessity for these machines
The rise of new computational devices began, and many prototypes were created
Kelvin created a tide calculator and ways to explore complex equations
IBM counters and tabulators were able to do addition, subtraction and multiplication
George Stibitz creates the model one and performs a demo where he performs remote calculations in 1940.
These types of devices are getting similar to the early computers.
These devices were complex calculators and were used for war. The lack of info and speed at which the info was created during the war created the push for computers
Electronic numerical integrator and calculator/computer, developed by Mauchly and Eckert
Women were the ones that coded the machine
Grace Hopper was a key component in the history of the computer
