Homework 2 in ICT: invention:Computer There is not just one inventor of the computer, as the ideas of many scientists and engineers led to its invention. These ideas were developed in the 1930s and 1940s, mostly independently of each other, in Germany, Great Britain and the USA, and were turned into working machines.
In Germany, Konrad Zuse hit upon the idea of building a program-controlled calculating machine when he had to deal with extensive calculations in statics. In 1935, he began to design a program-controlled calculating machine in his parents' home in Berlin. It was based on the binary system and used punched tape for the program input. The Z1, which was built between 1936 and 1938, was a purely mechanical machine which was not fully operational. In 1940, Zuse began to build a successor to the Z1 based on relay technology. In May 1941, he finished the Z3 - worldwide the first freely programmable program-controlled automatic calculator that was operational.
Several similar developments were in progress in the USA at the same time. In 1939, IBM started to build a program-controlled relay calculator on the basis of a concept that Howard H. Aiken had put forward in 1937. This machine - the IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (Mark I) - was used on production work from 1944.
However, it was not Aiken's and Stibitz's relay calculators that were decisive for the development of the universal computer but the ENIAC, which was developed at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Extensive ballistic computations were carried out there for the U.S. Army during World War II with the aid of a copy of the analog Differential Analyzer, which had been designed by Vannevar Bush, and more than a hundred women working on mechanical desk calculators. Nevertheless, capacity was barely sufficient to compute the artillery firing tables that were needed. In August 1942, John W. Mauchly, a physicist, presented a memo at the Moore School for a vacuumtube computer that was conceived as a digital version of the Differential Analyzer.
Mauchly had adopted John Vincent Atanasoff's idea for an electronic computer. Atanasoff had developed the ABC special-purpose computer at the Iowa State College (now Iowa State University) to solve systems of linear equations. Mauchly had viewed the ABC in June 1940. John Presper Eckert, a young electronic engineer at the Moore School, was responsible for the brilliant engineering of the new ENIAC. The work began on 31 May 1943 with funding from the U.S. Army. In February 1946, successful program runs were demonstrated.
At almost the same time, the Model I to Model VI relay calculators were built at Bell Laboratories in New York following a suggestion by George R. Stibitz. John von Neumann, an influential mathematician, turned his attention to the ENIAC in the summer of 1944. While this computer was being built, von Neumann and the ENIAC team drew up a plan for a successor to the ENIAC. The biggest problem with the ENIAC was that its memory was too small. Eckert suggested a mercury delay-line memory which would increase memory capacity by a factor of 100 compared with the electronic memory used in the ENIAC.
Homework 3 in ICT Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs) For reference, I'm posting here the ten Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs) which seems to be used in the Business Technology/Entrepreneurship programs of the Technology and Livelihood Education (T.L.E.) subject.
The original research by McClelland and McBer identified 14 PECs; the EMPRETEC [a UN program for small businesses; from the Spanish words emprendedores (entrepreneurs) and tecnología (technology)] clustered these into just 10:
Achievement Cluster I. Opportunity Seeking and Initiative * Does things before asked or forced to by events * Acts to extend the business into new areas, products or services * Seizes unusual opportunities to start a new business, obtain financing, equipment, land work space or assistance
II. Risk Taking * Deliberately calculates risks and evaluates alternatives * Takes action to reduce risks or control outcomes * Places self in situations involving a challenge or moderate risk
III. Demand for Efficiency and Quality * Finds ways to do things better, faster, or cheaper * Acts to do things that meet or exceed standards of excellence * Develops or uses procedures to ensure work is completed on time or that work meets agreed upon standards of quality
IV. Persistence * Takes action in the face of a significant obstacle * Takes repeated actions or switches to an alternative strategy to meet a challenge or overcome an obstacle * Takes personal responsibility for the performance necessary to achieve goals and objectives
V. Commitment to the Work Contract * Makes a personal sacrifice or expends extraordinary effort to complete a job * Pitches in with workers or in their place to get a job done * Strives to keep customers satisfied and places long term good will over short term gain
Planning Cluster VI. Information Seeking * Personally seeks information from clients, suppliers or competitors * Does personal research on how to provide a product or service * Consults experts for business or technical advice
VII. Goal setting * Sets goals and objectives that are personally meaningful and challenging * Articulates clear and specific long range goals * Sets measurable short term objectives
VIII. Systematic Planning and Monitoring * Plans by breaking large tasks down into time-constrained sub-tasks * Revises plans in light of feedback on performance or changing circumstances * Keeps financial records and uses them to make business decisions
Power Cluster IX. Persuasion and Networking * Uses deliberate strategies to influence or persuade others * Uses key people as agents to accomplish own objectives * Acts to develop and maintain business contracts
X. Independence and self-confidence * Seeks autonomy from the rules or control of others * Sticks with own judgement in the face of opposition or early lack of success * Expresses confidence in own ability to complete a difficult task or meet a challenge
Homework 4 in ICT-1 I.Characteristics/qualities of a successful entrepreneur
Qualities or Personal Entrepreneurial Characteristics (PEC) of successful entrepreneurs refer to the desired traits, which enable an entrepreneur to do what is expected of him/her and succeed in business. It is the combination of these characteristics that is required to enable any one to perform effectively as an entrepreneur. It is possible for people to develop these characteristics and succeed in their careers as entrepreneurs. Successful entrepreneurs have common characteristics, which are divided into three clusters namely achievement, planning and power.
1. Achievement Cluster a.Opportunity seeking b.Commitment to the work contract c.Persistence d.Risk taking e.Demand for efficiency and quality
2.Planning Cluster a.Goal Setting b.Information Seeking c.Systematic planning and monitoring
3.Power Cluster a.Persuasion and networking b.Self-confidence
II.Having Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies can help you successing because it makes you to work hard to move Higher and Greater with your Competencies and by working hard and skillful or Creative you can be a successful Entrepreneur.
