Tape For Computer Analysis: The system continuously measured rainfall and stored data on tape for computer analysis. Its purpose was to provide design information for ground-based microwave radio-relay systems using frequencies above 10 GHz. Previous measurements by meteorologists had not been made at small enough spacings or at frequent enough intervals to provide the information necessary for proper evaluation.
Remote time-shared computer service via telephone lines met with increased use and widespread commercial success in 1967. This followed earlier time-shared services at Dartmouth, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and other universities. By 1968 more than 15 commercial services were available to users in the New York City metropolitan area. Expansion was so rapid that it became difficult to ascertain the precise number of services throughout the U.S.
Alan Turing (1912-54) pioneered computer theory and applications in electronic computing. He proposed

During the 17th-cjohann Kepler,Pythagoras (6th c Be) is credited with the theory of numbers in musical intervals and several mathematical theories, the measurement of squares and right-angled triangles.
In addition, a pair of earphones could transmit spoken instructions from the computer "teacher" or from tape recordings—a particularly useful system in language teaching. With these essential components, the student could question and respond, with the computer acting as a substitute teacher. Paradoxically, these impersonal tools can permit more individualized learning than is possible in the usual classroom, where a teacher must keep an entire class moving along at a fixed pace.
