Julius E. Pitrap menemukan timbangan komputer pada tahun 1885. Alexander Dey menemukan dial recorder tahun 1888. Herman Hollerith menemukan Electric Tabulating Machine 1989 dan pada tahun yang sama Williard Bundy menemukan alat untuk mengukur waktu kerja karyawan. Pada 16 Juni 1911, teknologi-teknologi tersebut dan perusahaan yang memilikinya digabungkan oleh Charles Ranlett Flint dan membentuk Computing Tabulating Recording Company (CTR). Perusahaan yang berbasis di New York ini memiliki 1.300 karyawan dan area perkantoran serta pabrik di Endicott dan Binghamton, New York; Dayton, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Washington, D.C.; dan Toronto, Ontario. CTR memproduksi dan menjual berbagai macam jenis mesin mulai dari timbangan komersial hingga pengukur waktu kerja. Pada tahun 1914, Flint merekrut Thomas J. Watson, Sr., dari National Cash Register Company, untuk membantunya memimpin perusahaan. Watson menciptakan slogan, ―THINK‖, yang segera menjadi mantra bagi karyawan CTR. Dalam waktu 11 bulan setelah bergabung, Watson menjadi presiden dari CTR. Perusahaan memfokuskan diri pada penyediaan solusi penghitungan dalam skala besar untuk bisnis. Selama empat tahun pertama kepemimpinannya, Watson sukses meningkatkan pendapatan hingga lebih dari dua kali lipat dan mencapai $9 juta. Ia juga sukses mengembangkan sayap ke Eropa, Amerika Selatan, Asia, dan Australia. Pada 14 Februari 1924, CTR berganti nama menjadi International Business Machines Corporation (IBM).

BY MOLLY SORGE Attending the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games will be an emotional experience for Akiko Yamazaki – and not only because she hopes her horse, Suppenkasper, will be named to the U.S. Dressage Team with rider Steffen Peters. When Yamazaki sits down in the stands at Equestrian Park at Baji Koen, she’ll be sitting next to her mother, Michiko, who is the person who inspired her love of horses, and her two daughters, who share their passion for riding. My mom attended the Tokyo Olympic Games in 1964 as a spectator,” Yamazaki said. “Now we’ll go to watch the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games at the“ same venue, and hopefully we’ll be watching one of our horses compete. My mother is going to be 79 years old, and she’s really looking forward to going back and watching the Games in Tokyo. We are three generations of riders. It’s coming full circle.” For Yamazaki, who sits on the Board of Trustees and serves as the Secretary of the U.S. Equestrian Team (USET) Foundation, that feeling of legacy is a big part of why she loves equestrian sport so much. Her mother introduced her to riding when she was young, and now Yamazaki’s daughters have not only grown up immersed in the sport but have also developed their own passion for riding.

    Boeing Chairman James McNerney Supports Export- Import Bank, Sees Strong Company Future W. James McNerney, Jr. Chairman The Boeing Company July 29, 2015 Excerpts from Mr. McNerney’s Remarks Gift of Boeing: We at Boeing have supported the Kennedy Center, and we’ve been very proud to do it, David. And your leadership there has made a huge difference.1 And I think beyond bringing Deborah Rutter here as the new executive director, the huge expansion plans you now have underway, what I’d like to do is just hijack this moment, and perhaps soften up the interview a little bit in so doing. [Laughter.] We’d like to announce a $20 million gift from The Boeing Company to the Kennedy Center. Export-Import Bank: It has been a wildly successful program….And this has supported tremendous growth in the developing world as well as growth at home. As a matter of fact, Boeing depends on this. While our competitor has set up shop in lots of different countries in the world, we have kept our jobs and our technology here, in part because of this arrangement here. But right now, as the politicians have fun with this thing – If the vote was today, it would be a veto-proof vote in favor. But all the politics associated with the extremes of both parties, particularly the Republican Party, are preventing this thing from getting to a vote. So I’m beginning to question the strategy of making and designing everything in the United States, I mean, if there’s not an Export-Import Bank.
