TL;DR: The author traces the development of the Hollerith tabulating machine, what is part of theollen punched card system, during the years 1905 until 1913, and describes the machine's applications of most interest to customers at that time.
Abstract: The author traces the development of the Hollerith tabulating machine, what is part of the Hollerith punched card system during the years 1905 until 1913, and describes the machine's applications of most interest to customers at that time. Hollerith added the plugboard for flexible wiring to his tabulating machine for different applications, as a result of customer demand.

TL;DR: The aim of the current paper is to consider some of the universal features of information technology in terms of a conceptual framework established in previous work, grounded in a significant historical case: that of Hollerith's electric tabulating system.

TL;DR: The history of IBM has been the subject of considerable study by historians, economists, business management professors, and journalists as discussed by the authors, who have surveyed the various writings on IBM and placed their contributions in a roughly chronological account.
Abstract: IBM has been the subject of considerable study by historians, economists, business management professors, and journalists. This essay surveys the various writings on the company, placing their contributions in a roughly chronological account of the company's history, from its early days in tabulating through to its dominance of global markets in computing. The essay includes well-known studies of IBM in addition to more obscure accounts. It emphasizes the need to consider the company's culture along with its technological and managerial changes in order to grasp the reasons for its longevity.

TL;DR: The potential misperceptions of gender and related learning styles resulting from increased adoption of ICT in higher education are highlighted and the need for a collaborative approach between educators, learners, and the people and organisations that drive technological innovation is highlighted.
Abstract: Rapid technological innovations are currently occurring in higher education with differential effects on academics, students and ICT. This article, through literature review and author experiences, highlights the potential misperceptions of gender and related learning styles resulting from increased adoption of ICT in higher education. The authors emphasise the need for a collaborative approach between educators, learners, and the people and organisations that drive technological innovation, which contrasts the competitive forces that now abound. The authors also acknowledge the implied positions in dialogues about gender. One response is to initiate understanding at the strategic level and utilise the advances in ICT technologies that enhance connectedness in the educational experience. To improve the education of entrepreneurial managers and leaders, future policies must address the effects and accessibility of online education to meet employer and global technological requirements with equitable outcomes.

TL;DR: One of two major IBM supercomputer efforts in the late 1960s, the Advanced Computer Systems project had significantly more ambitious performance goals than the earlier IBM System/360 Model 91 project, and it pioneered many features that became common decades later.
Abstract: The Advanced Computer Systems (ACS) project was one of two major IBM supercomputer efforts in the second half of the 1960s. ACS had significantly more ambitious performance goals than the earlier project that developed the IBM System/360 Model 91, and the ACS-1 instruction set and processor design pioneered many features that became common some two or three decades later, such as multiple condition codes and aggressive out-of-order execution. ACS also pioneered high-speed integrated circuitry that required immersive cooling in liquid fluorocarbon. Although the project was canceled, it brought many talented engineers to California and contributed to several later developments at IBM and beyond, including the Amdahl line of System/370-compatible processors in the 1970s and the IBM 801 and POWER processors in the 1980s.

TL;DR: Between 1880 and 1920, several inventors in St. Louis, Missouri, made pioneering contributions to the development of commercial adding machines, which helped to make mechanical arithmetic commonplace in US business.
Abstract: Between 1880 and 1920, several inventors in St. Louis, Missouri, made pioneering contributions to the development of commercial adding machines. The inventions of Frank S. Baldwin, William S. Burroughs, the brothers William W. and Hubert H. Hopkins, and their associates did much to make mechanical arithmetic commonplace in US business.
