    This document summarizes the development of telecommunications and early computing technology from the late 18th century to the early 20th century. Key developments include Volta's battery, Morse's telegraph and code, Bell's telephone, Marconi's radio, and Hollerith's census machine. The first electromechanical computer, the Mark 1, was developed by Howard Aiken in the 1940s using paper tape to store data and program instructions. These innovations marked the beginning of harnessing electricity to transmit knowledge and information over long distances.

    - DURING THIS PERIOD, THE

    SIGNIFICANT ADVANCEMENT WAS


    THE DEVELOPMENT OF WAYS TO
    HARNESS ELECTRICITY.
    ELECTRICAL IMPULSES CAN NOW
    BE USED TO CONVERT
    KNOWLEDGE AND INFORMATION.
    1. THE BEGINNING OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS

    •Voltaic Battery
    (Late 18th
    century)
    •Telegraph • Morse code
    (Early 1800s)

    Developed in 1835 by Samuel


    Morse. Dots and
    dashes.
    • Telephone
    • Followed by the discovery that electrical and Radio waves
    travel through space and can

    produce an effect far from the point at which they

    originated.
    • These two events led to the invention
    of the radio o Guglielmo Marconi in 1894.

    •
    Alexander Graham Bell in 1876

    2. ELECTROMECHANICAL COMPUTING
    HERMAN HOLLERITH (1860-1929) IN 1880
    CENSUS MACHINE
    •Data collected during the 1890 census
    included: color or race,
    gender, age, relationship that each person had
    to the head of the
    family, profession, occupation, and many
    more.
    • IBM - International Business
    Machines Corporation’s first
    logo.
    • MARK 1
    - Howard H. Aiken, physics professor.
    -Paper tape stored data and program instructions. - Also
    called Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator
    (ASCC).
