The first computer arrived in Colombia in 1957, an IBM 650 that was purchased by Bavaria and weighed 1300 kilos. It was used for accounting and administrative tasks. In 1963, Bavaria donated the computer to the University of the Andes where it was used to support engineering projects. The document discusses projections for future computers, including using gesture controls and face recognition for security, and developing devices that can accommodate people with disabilities. It also describes Microsoft's vision of replacing devices like TVs and stereos with a single computer running Windows Media Center.
Draft final presentation
- 1. Present By: Rocio Camargo Villa English IV Systems engineering THE FIRST AND THE FUTURE PC - Abstract of the justification and objectives I chose this topic because the computers are an important tool for the people who study systems engineering, that is why I focused my research in explain who arrived this first equipment to our country. This project has as a goal show the importance of the arrived the first computer to our country, which year arrived in and how much was the cost and show the different projections the future pc. - Abstract of the second advance In the second draft I showed how much Bavaria spend the IBM 650. The price was around US$500.000 in 1957, what is grossly US$4.000.000 and $8.000.000.000 Colombian pesos in current price. Also I mentioned that there are many future projections on how this sort of devices will be. These machines will be designee for People with Disabilities, and I quote movies of science Fiction like that Avatar or Minority Report that could be one sample very useful for develop the future pc. - Develop Bavaria brought the IBM 650 to Colombia on 3rd of March 1957; its weight was 1300 kilos, which is around the weight of 22 people if each person weighed 60 kilos approximately. The IBM was used for the Accounting department and for administrative tasks. This machine had successful. Then several companies like Ecopetrol and Coltejer bought the IBM. In 1963, Bavaria donated the IBM to the University of the “Andes” and this machine was converted in the first computer to the services of the education and this was used for the career of civil engineering and this was used for several investigations and projects like build roads and buildings. The projection the companies about the computer of the future like Intel is incorporate a camera in 3D for the computer that will control by gesture and for the security, Intel is promoted a tool that Face recognition, this tool prevents the password theft and the company Leap Motion pretend to develop a software and hardware that controlled the movements in 3D. This companies seek will accommodate to the lifestyle of the different people like People with Disabilities.
- 2. Microsoft also pretend that a single computer where you can watch TV, watch movies, surf the Internet, record and listen music, listen to radio and play ,replace televisions, stereos and home game consoles. Microsoft developed a machine that all unite in a single machine. a PC with Windows Media Center. It is clear that future proposed Bill Gates is a headache for manufacturers of televisions and stereos. For the final presentation, I going to used Slides in power point, with images and videos that show the contents written here.
