This presentation is intended to support the use of the textbook . irst Steps Towards Programmable Human Computers for General Computation . Time. Adam Whalen. Spring 2012. Introduction. Technology is something that helps people in many ways from saving lives to typing a letter.. Medical technology is complicated, at the hospital it keeps people alive during open heart surgery, it keeps babies alive after they have been born, and it keeps people alive when they need immediate surgery like when they are internally .

The observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented.. No, it wasn’t the IPad Mini. Modern computers come in all shapes and sizes. Moto 360 (2014). 512MB, ~1 billion instructions per second. IBM 360 Mainframe (1964). 64KB, ~35,000 instructions per second.
