Career Research Paper:

Since I was very little I used to enjoy surfing websites and using search engines to answer my questions. I was amazed at how easy internet makes our lives by connecting computers across different places and countries and how easily we can transmit information through World Wide Web. In 19th century, Charles Babbage developed the first computing device. Through the 20th century, Analog computers were used to meet more sophisticated needs of the people during this time. The idea of a modern computer came along in 1936, when Alan Turing wrote a paper about the modern computer and its functionalities. He developed a ‘Universal Machine’ which was intended to perform the task of all other machines, it could compute almost anything that it was programmed to do. This is how the first programmable device came into existence. Modern computers have the ability to compute whatever is instructed to it by programming languages. Programming languages carry out instructions for how to computer should function. The first High-level programming language was Plankkalkul, then a series of other languages including c, c++, c#, java which are used today to pass instructions to the computer. Even modern websites are made using these programming languages. The internet was born in 1960’s and the first website which could transfer information from one computer to another was made in 1981. Since the internet was not very fast before not a lot could be made available, but it was still reliable, and hence was used by military, scientists, educators, government and doctors. Mosaic founded in 1990’s was the first commercial browser that allowed people to access online content. The Hypertext concept was created by Ted Nels...

    Ms.Amarachinta was born in India, the country that is famous for its developed information technology industry. In 1992, she went to college and studied as an undergraduate in India. Guided by a family member and seeing the great need for computer engineers in the future, Ms.Amarachinta decided to take computer science as her major. During that time, internet just appeared in people’s lives as a new invention. There were no social networks, no smart phones, none of those technology products people use today existed at that time. “When I first started [using the internet], nobody used it for entertainment as people do today. The only form of electronic communication was through e-mail, even that was not common in students with other majors”, said Ms.Amarachinta. In fact, it is nearly impossible for anyone who lived in 1990s to imagine the popularity of social networking today; similarly, teenagers who grew up with electrical products could hardly understand the old way of life people used to have. The advancement in technology

    In 1937 the electronic computer was born. Computers were in 1943 to break “the unbreakable” German Enigma codes. 1951 introduced the computer commercially. However, it wasn’t until around 1976 when the Apple II was introduced and it was immediately adopted by high schools, colleges, and homes. This was the first time that people from all over really had an opportunity to use a computer. Since that time micro processing chips have been made, the World Wide Web has been invented and in 1996 more than one out of every three people have a computer in their home, and two out of every three have one at the office.

The earliest existence of the computer dates back to the first century, but the electronic computer has only been around for over a half-century.

A computer can be found in nearly every business and one out of every two households (Hall, 156). Our Society relies critically on computers for almost all of their daily operations and processes. Only once in a lifetime will a new invention like the computer come about.
