How to pronounce“univac”in English

fit a UNIVAC on set next to Walter Cronkite, so they built like a Star Trek version of it with just some flashing lights next to him. And with 1% of the vote in, the UNIVAC

as powerful as Univac.

Someone in the marketing department at UNIVAC, got the idea to use one of these computers during the first televised presidential election; Eisenhower vs. Stevenson.

we may have called computers UNIVAC's if that company had, was able to beat IBM during the 1950's. Because of the UNIVAC's popularity, Hopper now had a crisis.

course people on her staff at UNIVAC worked on the first compilers and the first programming languages; Math-matic and Flow-matic were the first two that she built out.

In 1967 Hopper retires from UNIVAC and she could've had a very nice relaxing retirement

If you wanted to buy 22 million UNIVAC I's in 1955, you would need an amount of money that -- that exceeds the GDP of the United States in

A UNIVAC representative went back on TV and told the American nation that in fact

how she built this team that went beyond the borders of UNIVAC, Backus was actually working at IBM.

And if you wanted to store 660 million UNIVAC I's, you would need about the entire state of Washington just to put them somewhere in the box

enough, was not made for -- the UNIVAC I, high, big applications, lots of number crunching.

or mid late 50s there was already usual computers in there yeah we had a univac a 2000 univac with 2000 words of storage

And you can imagine each company that bought a UNIVAC wanted it to do something specific to that company.

She became the first director of Automatic Programming at UNIVAC.

If you take the commercial sold computer, that's the UNIVAC I.

And the amount of money you would need to buy 660 million UNIVAC I's in 1955 would be more than the entire money supply

data from previous elections; voting patterns, enter those into the UNIVAC, and then with 1% of the vote in, they would try to predict the outcome of the election.

He lied to the American people and said the UNIVAC says it's going to be a close race.

The UNIVAC had missed by one electoral

So they ended up giving her a budget in 1954, and creating the Division of Automatic Programming at UNIVAC.

If you gave that a unit measurement of one, you said, a UNIVAC is one computing power -- and even though Moore's law didn't exist in 1955,

in 2000, would be -- very rough measurements here -- but roughly equivalent in computing power to 22 million UNIVAC I's.

Obviously, the Playstation 2 is much smaller and cheaper and faster than 22 million UNIVAC's, and also interestingly

And so if you run this forward to the present take the Playstation 2, say that's 22 million UNIVAC's, to store them, you would need a space

2005, the Playstation3 -- again, rough measurements -- 660 million UNIVAC's.
