• Transistor Solid state semiconductor device.
  Used for amplification, switching.
• Binary Machine Language A set of instructions
  for s specific central processing unit. Also
  called machine cod. It is composed only of
  binary digits 0 and 1.
• Assembly Language Consists of both binary
  numbers and simple words. Also recognized as
  Mnemonics
• High Level Programming Language Complex elements
  can be simplified.
• COBOL Third-generation programming. Processed
  excellent self-documenting capabilities, file
  handling methods and exceptionally good data
  typing for the time.

  computer programmer.
• Lois M. Haiby, Grace Elizabeth Mitchell, Bernyce
  Brady and Bev Davis developed FOLTRAN.
• Gertrude Tieney, Nora Taylor, Jean Sammet,
  Deborah Davidson and Sue Knaop along with many
  other woman contributed to the development of
  COBOL

The Next Generation of Computers

• Artificial Intelligence the ability to perform
  the same kinds of functions that characterize
  human thought.
• Could these technologies reproduce male dominance
  and female submission?
