Back in the early 1950s, IBM made a big splash with its first commercial scientific computer, the IBM 701. Known as the Defense Calculator during its development, this machine was a game-changer for IBM and the tech world. It opened doors to new computing possibilities and set the stage for future innovations. Let’s take a … Read more
Back in the 1950s, a guy named Arthur Samuel was doing something pretty cool with computers. He wasn’t just using them to crunch numbers like most folks did back then. Nope, he was teaching them to play checkers. This wasn’t just any checkers game, though. Samuel’s program could learn from its mistakes and get better … Read more
Alan Turing, a name synonymous with the very foundations of computer science and artificial intelligence, was a visionary far ahead of his time. Not only did he play a pivotal role in cracking the German Enigma code during World War II, but he also laid the groundwork for the computers we use today. His ideas … Read more
