Hendrie The Computer Museum has certainly come a long way from its early days in Chairman, Marlboro with its collection of early computers. It now has a wide range of II The Computer interactive exhibits in both the Smart Machines Gallery as well as the Graphics Museum Gallery. These exhibits help to expand the audience for the Museum from technically trained people who have grown up in the computer industry to include both children and adults who are curious about computers and how they work and how they are used. The two primary challenges which I see for the next five years are: 1. To further expand the audience of the Museum in terms of both the age and background of our visitors. 2. To expand support for the Museum to include individuals, foundations, and corporations that span all segments of the computing community, both suppliers and users. To achieve these goals we need to: 1. Continue to expand and improve our exhibits. Oliver Strimpel's article de­ scribes the new exhibits that will be devoted to history, will explain how computers work and will illustrate new and significant applications. 2. Create exhibits, events, and materials that allow us to share our collection and resources with organizations around the world. One of these is an exhibit on pocket calculators which is currently traveling throughout the country. The Computer Bowl was a simultaneous East and West Coast event that was later shown as two programs of the PBS show Computer Chronicles; the questions and answers were reproduced in The Communications of the ACM. 3. Develop the Museum's Education Department. Adeline Naiman, the new education director has a long list of programs currently being developed for school-age visitors. 4. Expand the involvement of the business community through innovative programs such as our breakfast seminars. These seminars bring industry luminaries to the Museum to talk about what is happening in computing today, and what may lie in the future. 5. Complete Phase II of the Museum's Capital Campaign. This Campaign is the principle means for funding the expansion of the Museum's programs. In the first year, we successfully raised over 1.2 million dollars. However, we still have a long way to go to successfully reach our goal of seven million by 1992. 6. Broaden the participation of individuals and corporations in the Museum's programs. Volunteer activities in public relations, collections and exhibit development have occurred from Louisville, Kentucky to Newcastle, England. 7. Promote pro-active collecting. The Museum has a preeminent collection from the 1950s and '60s and all of the very earliest PCs. However, we need to add the important advances of the '70s and '80s. These programs will help us achieve the goals of The Computer Museum over the next few years. The most important element, however, is you: the mem­ ber, the contributor, the visitor, the volunteer.

  • I: the Conception
    Excerpt from: Mayo, Keenan and Newcomb, Peter. “How the Web Was Won,” Vanity Fair, July 2008. I: The Conception Paul Baran, an electrical engineer, conceived one of the Internet’s building blocks—packet switching— while working at the Rand Corporation around 1960. Packet switching breaks data into chunks, or “packets,” and lets each one take its own path to a destination, where they are re-assembled (rather than sending everything along the same path, as a traditional telephone circuit does). A similar idea was proposed independently in Britain by Donald Davies. Later in his career, Baran would pioneer the airport metal detector. Paul Baran: It was necessary to have a strategic system that could withstand a first attack and then be able to return the favor in kind. The problem was that we didn’t have a survivable communications system, and so Soviet missiles aimed at U.S. missiles would take out the entire telephone- communication system. At that time the Strategic Air Command had just two forms of communication. One was the U.S. telephone system, or an overlay of that, and the other was high-frequency or shortwave radio. So that left us with the interesting situation of saying, Well, why do the communications fail when the bombs were aimed, not at the cities, but just at the strategic forces? And the answer was that the collateral damage was sufficient to knock out a telephone system that was highly centralized. Well, then, let’s not make it centralized. Let’s spread it out so that we can have other paths to get around the damage.

LeGates April 2011 Program on Information Resources Policy Center for Information Policy Research Harvard University The Program on Information Resources Policy is jointly sponsored by Harvard University and the Center for Information Policy Research. Chairman Managing Director Anthony G. Oettinger John C. B. LeGates John LeGates began his career as an entrepreneur in the earliest days of computer communications and networking. He was the first to put computers in schools and later in hospitals. He built the first academic computer-resource-sharing network and was a member of the Arpanet NWG, the original Internet design team. Since 1973 he has been a member of the Harvard faculty, where he co-founded the Program on Information Resources Policy. Copyright © 2011 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College.

The compound word "spread-sheet" came to mean the format used to present book-keeping ledgers—with columns for categories of expenditures across the top, invoices listed down the left margin, and the amount of each payment in the cell where its row and column intersect.

IBM PC in 1981, the spreadsheet concept became widely known in the late 1970s and early 1980s. When the professor found an error, he had to tediously erase and rewrite a number of sequential entries in the PC World magazine called VisiCalc the first electronic table, triggering Bricklin to think that he could replicate the spreadsheet. process on a computer, using the blackboard as the model to view results of underlying formulas.

  • Computer Network
    Computer network A computer network or data network is a telecommunications network that allows computers to exchange data. The connections (network links) between networked computing devices (network nodes) are established using either cable media or wireless media. The best-known computer network is the Internet. Network devices that originate, route and terminate the data are called network nodes. Nodes can include hosts such as servers and personal computers, as well as networking hardware. Two devices are said to be networked when a process in one device is able to exchange information with a process in another device. Computer networks support applications such as access to the World Wide Web, shared use of application and storage servers, printers, and fax machines, and use of email and instant messaging applications. The remainder of this article discusses local area network technologies and classifies them according to the following characteristics: the physical media used to transmit signals, the communications protocols used to organize network traffic, along with the network's size, its topology and its organizational intent. History In the late 1950s, early networks of communicating computers included the military radar system Semi- Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE). In 1960, the commercial airline reservation system semi-automatic business research environment (SABRE) went online with two connected mainframes. In 1962, J.C.R. Licklider developed a working group he called the "Intergalactic Computer Network", a precursor to the ARPANET, at the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). In 1964, researchers at Dartmouth developed the Dartmouth Time Sharing System for distributed users of large computer systems. The same year, at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a research group supported by General Electric and Bell Labs used a computer to route and manage telephone connections.
