I recently visited the Computer History Museum with my friend Chuck Tomasi who I co-host our Podcast Technorama with. We shot a video while we were there for the show.

Is this a crazy looking computer or what? The IBM 1360 Photo-Digital Storage System was the first computer capable of storing 1 trillion bits (~120 GB); it used plastic cards for its memory.
In 1953, Shell Labs in Amsterdam was the first site in the Netherlands to use an electronic computer in a production environment. The computer was a Ferranti Mark I*, designed at Manchester University (with help from the legendary Alan Turing) and built by British company Ferranti. The Amsterdam model was called MIRACLE, for "Mokums (Amsterdam's) Industrial Research Automatic Calculator for Laboratory and Engineering", but some people nicknamed it "May It Replace All Chaotic Laboratory Experiments". My mother was one of its programmers and kept a photo album.

IBM, FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslation) Manual, c. 1956
“FORTRAN is the most successful and oldest computer language still in active use. The project began in 1954 under John Backus of IBM and the first customer’s program, which stopped with an error because of a missing comma, ran on April 20, 1957. This manual was written about 6 months before FORTRAN I was released.”

Enigma, Germany, c.1935
“The Enigma encryption machine was patented by Hugo Koch in Holland in 1919 and first produced commercially by German engineer Arthur Scherbius in 1923. In 1928 Polish officials intercepted one being shipped to the German Embassy in Warsaw. By 1934, Polish intelligence had cracked the Enigma’s method of operation. On July 25, 1939, just prior to the Nazi invasion of Poland, they passed the secret on to the French and British governments. This three-rotor version is capable of generating 150,000,000,000,000,000,000 different code combinations by using spare rotors in different orders, varying the initial positions, and changing the plugs on the front.”

One of the earliest successful precursors to the computer, the Hollerith Census Machine allowed government census takers to standardize the process of census taking through the use of a punch card system. This system greatly reduced the amount of time needed to compile census results. The patent for this system was subsequently purchased by the IBM corporation and punch cards became the standard method of programming computers and storing data in a computer-readable format for years to come.
The punch card was the successor to the written word in the timeline of computer-related storage. It took up less space and allowed for more efficient manipulation of information, but stored that information in a format that required translation prior to comprehension.
The Hollerith Census Machine is an early example of the computer history being advanced through government sponsorship.

O lançamento do Sputnik causou como consequência a criação americana da Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Agência de Projetos de Pesquisa Avançada), conhecida como ARPA, em fevereiro de 1955, com o objetivo de obter novamente a liderança tecnológica perdida para os soviéticos durante a guerra fria. A ARPA criou o Information Processing Techniques Office (Escritório de Tecnologia de Processamento de Informações - IPTO) para promover a pesquisa do programa Semi Automatic Ground Environment, que interligou, em 1962, vários sistemas de radares espalhados por todo o território americano pela primeira vez.

pdp-11's. Apparently these were not called "computers" which would have forced buyers into a long procurement process. So they were called "Programmable Data Processors" or pdp's.
This is after the last of three daily meetings following VRM Day 2022b, the second of the two in-person gatherings that ProjectVRM holds each year, always the day before the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) commences for the next three days at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley. This time the workshop also included a talk and discussion led by Roger McNamee as part of the Beyond the Web Salon Series led by Doc and Joyce Searls, who (in addition to their work with ProjectVRM) are visiting scholars at the Ostrom Workshop, of Indiana University, which hosts the series. Roger's talk was carried live by Owl , RingCentral and Zoom to IU and the world. Roger's talk so energized attendees that a cabal, informally called Roger & We, was formed in the room and took more shape over the following days at IIW. Its purpose became branded ESC, for End Surveillance Capitalism.
ProjectVRM was born in 2006 as a project by Doc Searls when he became a fellow with the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard University. Its blog, wiki, and mailing list (of more than 500 members) remain kindly hosted by the BKC.
