“The Mechanical Brain”
It was very interesting to see how different computing was in the past and how it has evolved. The size of the machine they used was incredible. However, compared to what we’re used to nowadays it seems very inconvenient because of how massive it is and was tedious to use, due to the fact that multiple people were required to use it. Also, these machines cost the government millions during the Cold War (“Military Industrial Complex”). Another way the computing machines differ from computers we have today is how we put them to work. During the Cold War time period, the analog machines were used to calculate information needed to assist the military. Computing has evolved from being analog to digital, which is more efficient.
