While there were numerous inventions during WW2, I decided to write about the first computer named Colossus, Penicillin, and pressurized cabins for planes because these inventions still have a big impact on our lives today. Colossus was a set of computers created by a team of british code decrypters in 1943-1945. Colossus was known as the first electric, programmable computer in the world. The purpose of Colossus computers was code breaking of high level german communications. British code breakers
The adversity that I have faced in my life is not something I look down upon. My challenges have pushed me to be the best person I can be and are the root of my success. High school has been an amazing, while also difficult, time for me. It seems like just yesterday I was walking in the doors for my first day of freshman year, unsure what to expect from the new environment. The opportunities that high school offer inspired me to take action and to become involved. Balancing my studies, athletics

When new technologies are integrated into the classroom both teachers and students need to become accustomed to it before they can fully reap the benefits. Because of this, "teachers' first technology projects generate excitement but often little content learning. Often it takes a few years until teachers can use technology effectively in core subject areas (Goldman, Cole, & Syer, 1999)." Educators are taking a risk by placing computers in the classroom. According to Woronov (1994), computers
This essay will talk about and describe similarities and differences between three theories of aggression. The theories that will be researched are the Instinct Theory of Aggression, Frustration aggression hypothesis and the Social Learning Theory. Aggression refers to a range of behaviours that can result in both physical and psychological harm to a person, object or anything surround the aggressor. This essay will be focusing on aggression vented from humans to physically hurt or mentally damage
Friedrich Kittler, the creator of the computer, found his inspiration just by reading a book called Konrad Zuse 's book The Computer - My Life (TCML). The author of Kittler’s book, Zuse, who had instructed his computers Z1-Z4 during but in no way due to WWII. Zuse thought that the computer was for the war. But with his equivalent equipment, he had come to find out that it was not a machine of
John Mauchly Groundbreaker John Mauchly was one of the earliest and greatest science pioneers and one of the greatest groundbreakers of all time. He Graduated from college in 1927 and received his doctorate in 1930. He was a groundbreaker because his invention, the world 's first computer the ENIAC, was one of the greatest inventions of his time in the mid-1900’s(John William Mauchly." Originally a meteorologist, he was set out to do weather calculations, so he decided to construct a digital
order to fit certain standards and influence or adhere to popular opinion. The political uses of Turing will also be briefly examined. It will also be explored as to why several comparable figures from the same period (such as John von Neumann or Konrad Zuse) have not become famous or useful in the same
It is considered to be the first really functional modern computer. Konrad also finishes and distributes the Z4 in July, 1950, becoming the first commercial computer. Also in 1950 “The United States Government receives the UNIVAC 1101 or ERA 1101. This computer is considered to be the first computer that was capable of storing
Imagine you are sitting in your house, peacefully reading a book. Suddenly, your television turns on. It says only these words: “I am the god.” You know instantly that it is Antichrist, as you have studied the Bible very well. Then, you understand. The AI was his plan all along. You frantically scramble to get your family to the basement and lock your house. Before you can, though, the door breaks open, but, nothing is there. A sudden chill runs through your spine. It is too late. Nanobots begin

From the outbreak of World War II in 1939 to the end of the Cold War in 1991 an unprecedented expansion in the development of Science occurred that greatly shaped the world as we know it today. Furthermore, all but a few of the 20th century’s greatest inventions and scientific breakthroughs came in this 52-year period as great sums of money was pumped into the scientific field mainly with the aim to improve each Nations own military strength. As countries made militarily based scientific breakthroughs
