(1896)
Tabulating Machine Company 1896
Question: who is this?
Herman Hollerith (1860-1929)
Original Founder
Question: what is this?
After the 1880 census, in 1888 the US Census bureau created a competition to process the census data.
The competition was won by Columbia graduate Hollerith who was given the order to build the first electronic punchcard processing machine for the 1890 census.
Hollerith's tabulating machine was similar to the famous Babbage design for a calculating engine that was never built until 2002.
The Hollerith Machine
The first "IBM Computer"
IBM Aiken Mark I (1944)
The IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (ASCC) also called Mark I by Harvard staff. IBM build the first programmable computer, designed by Howard Aiken at Harvard. One of the first programs to run on the Mark I was initiated on 29 March 1944 by John von Neumann working on the Manhattan Project, who needed to determine whether implosion was a viable choice to detonate the atomic bomb used a year later.
IBM History (1945)
Founded by Wallace Eckert (1902-1971), IBM Watson Lab at Columbia University, one of the first academic credit courses in computing in 1946, and the origin of the IBM Research Center. IBM Watson Lab #1 1945-1970

IBM 1401 (1959-1971)
the 1401 computer of 1959 weighed about five tons and had about 16 kilobytes of memory. By comparison, today’s modern smartphones weigh less than five ounces and have about 32 billion bytes of memory—that’s roughly 10 million times faster.
Computers in half a century:
from punchcards to supercomputers and microchips
Question: How much faster are our mobile phones than this enormous 1401?
Answer: 10 million times faster
