Document Summary

Howard aiken a harvard professor created the first computer, it was massive with its dimensions being: 51 feet long -8 feet tall -5 tons (10,000 pounds) with 500 miles of wire. *a simple calculator today is more powerful and does computations faster than this computer could do* Ibm built the first supercomputer which was way faster than the mark 1 and was considerably smaller. It was only 1 ton and had 5mb of storage which today could only hold about one song. A (cid:373)ode(cid:373) is a de(cid:448)i(cid:272)e that (cid:272)ould (cid:272)o(cid:374)(cid:374)e(cid:272)t to (cid:862)the i(cid:374)te(cid:396)(cid:374)et(cid:863). Its speed was only 480 bits/second today we have around 100mb/second or 1 million x faster. Only had 10mb of space which is nothing and could only store just text.
