HOWARD H. AIKE A D HE COMPU ER Howard Aike 's co ribu io s o he developme of he compu er - o ably he Harvard Mark I (IBM ASSC) machi e, a d i s successor he Mark II - are of e excluded from he mai s ream his ory of compu ers o wo ech icali ies. he firs is ha Mark I a d Mark II were elec ro-mecha ical ra her ha elec ro ic; he seco d o e is ha Aike was ever co vi ced ha compu er programs should be rea ed as da a i wha has come o be k ow as he vo euma co cep , or he s ored program.I is o proposed o discuss here he origi s a d sig ifica ce of he s ored program. or I wish o deal wi h he rela ed problem of whe her he machi es before he s ored program were or were o “compu ers”. his subjec is complica ed by he co fusio i ac ual ames give o machi es. For example, he E IAC, which did o i corpora e a s ored program, was officially amed a compu er: Elec ro ic umeral I egra or A d Compu er. Bu he firs s ored-program machi e o be pu i o regular opera io was Maurice Wiles' EDSAC: Elec ro ic Delay S orage Au oma ic Calcula or. I seems o be ra her se seless o de y ma y ruly sig ifica i ova io s (by H.H.Aike a d by Ecker a d Mauchly), which played a impor a role i he his ory of compu ers, o he arbi rary grou d ha hey did o i corpora e he s ored-program co cep . Addi io ally, i he case of Aike , i is sig ifica ha here is a curre compu er ech ology ha does o i corpora e he s ored programs a d ha is desig a ed as (a leas by EXAS I S RUME S) as “Harvard archi ec ure”, hough, i should more properly be called “Aike archi ec ure”. I his ech ology he program is fix a d o subjec o a y al era io save by i e - as i some compu ers used for elepho e swi chi g a d i ROM. OPERA IO OF HE E IAC.Aike was a visio ary, a ma ahead of his imes. Grace Hopper a d o hers remember his predic io i he la e 1940s, eve before he vacuum ube had bee wholly replaced by he ra sis or, ha he ime would come whe a machi e eve more powerful ha he gia machi es of hose days could be fi ed i o a space as small as a shoe box.Some weeks before his dea h Aike had made a o her predic io . He poi ed ou ha hardware co sidera io s alo e did o give a rue pic ure of compu er cos s. As hardware has become cheaper, sof ware has bee ap o ge more expe sive. A d he he gave us his fi al predic io : “ he ime will come”, he said, “whe ma ufac urers will gave away hardware i order o sell sof ware”. ime alo e will ell whe her or o his was his fi al look ahead i o he fu ure. DEVELOPME OF COMPU ERS I HE USA I he early 1960s, whe compu ers were hulki g mai frames ha ook up e ire rooms, e gi eers were already oyi g wi h he he - ex ravaga o io of buildi g a compu er i e ded for he sole use of o e perso . by he early 1970s, researches a Xerox's Polo Al o Research Ce er (Xerox PARC) had realized ha he pace of improveme i he ech ology of semico duc ors - he chips of silico ha are he buildi g blocks of prese -day elec ro ics - mea ha soo er or la er he PC would be ex ravaga o lo ger. hey foresaw ha compu i g power would someday be so cheap ha e gi eers would be able o afford o devo e a grea deal of i simply o maki g o - ech ical people more comfor able wi h hese ew i forma io - ha dli g ools.

I a se se, hey are righ . he Al air i corpora ed o e of he firs si gle-chip microprocessor - a semico duc or chip, ha co ai ed all he basic circui s eeded o do calcula io s - called he I el 8080. Al hough he 8080 was adva ced for i s ime, i was far oo slow o suppor he mouse, wi dows, a d elabora e sof ware Xerox had developed. I deed, i was ' u il 1984, whe Apple Compu er's Maci osh burs o o he sce e, ha PCs were powerful e ough o fulfill he origi al visio of researchers. “ he ki d of compu i g ha people are ryi g o do oday is jus wha we made a PARC i he early 1970s,” says Ala Kay, a former Xerox researcher who jumped o Apple i he early 1980s. MACI OSH PERFORMA 6200/6300Researchers oday are proceedi g i he same spiri ha mo iva ed Kay a d his Xerox PARC colleagues i he 1970s: o make i forma io more accessible o ordi ary people. Bu a look i o oday's research labs reveals very li le ha resembles wha we hi k of ow as a PC. For o e hi g, researchers seem eager o aba do he keyboard a d mo i or ha are he PC's rademarks. I s ead hey are ryi g o devise PCs wi h i erpre ive powers ha are more huma like - PCs ha ca hear you a d see you, ca ell whe you're i a bad mood a d k ow o ask ques io s whe hey do ' u ders a d some hi g.I is impossible o predic he i ve io ha , like he Al air, crys allize ew approaches i a way ha cap ures people's imagi a io . op 20 compu er sys ems From solderi g iro s o SparcS a io s, from MI S o Maci osh, perso al compu ers have evolved from do-i -yourself ki s for elec ro ic hobbyis s i o machi es ha prac ically leap ou of he box a d se hemselves up. Wha e abled hem o ge from here o here? I ova io a d de ermi a io . Here are op 20 sys ems ha made ha rapid evolu io possible.MI S Al air 8800 here o ce was a ime whe you could buy a op-of- he-li e compu er for $395. he o ly ca ch was ha you had o build i yourself. Al hough he Al air 8800 was ' ac ually he firs perso al compu er (Scelbi Compu er Co sul i g`s 8008-based Scelbi-8H ki probably ook ha ho or i 1973), i grabbed a e io . MI S sold 2000 of hem i 1975 - more ha a y si gle compu er before i .
Based o I el`s 8-bi 8080 processor, he Al air 8800 ki i cluded 256 by es of memory (upgradable, of course) a d a oggle-swi ch-a d-LED fro pa el. For ame i ies such as keyboard, video ermi als, a d s orage devices, you had o go o o e of he compa ies ha spra g up o suppor he Al air wi h expa sio cards.
