Parte 2 - Scanning

1) Organize os parágrafos abaixo numerando os parênteses em ordem crescente, conforme a

cronologia. O título do texto já está marcado.
(A: _____) It was during the Second World War that the modern age of computers began. In 1930,
Vannevar Bush built the first analog computer, which was used to help aim guns in World War II. In
the period between 1938-1942, John V. Atanasoff and Clifford Berry designed and built the first
electronic digital computer, the ABC, which provided the basis for the development of the ENIAC.
(B:_____) After that, in 1822, Charles Babbage built a machine called “The Difference Engine,”
which he showed at The Paris Exhibition in 1855. Next, Babbage envisioned and designed “The
Analytical Engine”, a machine which could complete programmed arithmetic operations.
Unfortunately, Babbage never finished his work, but many of his ideas were used as the basis for the
modern computer.
(C: _____) The modern computer as we know it today is a result of lots of research and inventions of
the past. The following paragraphs will show you the evolution of this miraculous machine.
(D: _____) In the period called the Scientific Revolution, which began circa 1540 and lasted until
1687, many scientists tried to find ways of calculating. As a consequence, other computational
devices were invented. In 1642, Blaise Pascal invented the first mechanical calculator. In 1673,
Gottfried von Leibniz invented another calculating device.
(E: _____) The Scientific Revolution was followed by the Industrial Revolution, which started in
England and brought many advances in technology. Several machines were developed in this period,
and these machines later had a great impact on the development of computers.
(F: _____) During the same period that Babbage was working on his machines, Lady Ada Lovelace
invented an arithmetic code for Babbage’s machine based on a binary system similar to the one used
with modern computers. For this reason, she is considered to be the first programmer.
(G: _____) The first calculating device used by man was the ten fingers of his hands. This explains
why we still count in tens and multiples of tens. Then the abacus was invented, a device which uses
small beads or stones to make calculations. This tool was used until the 16th century. It is still used
today in some parts of the world to make arithmetical calculations.
(H: _____) In 1804, Joseph Marie Jacquard invented a weaving loom which was “programmed” to
make certain patterns on cloth. This “program” was a series of holes punched in paper cards according
to a code, and it is very similar to the process used in punched cards of the first modern computers.
(I: 1 ) The Pre-History of Computers
(J: _____) Between 1943 and 1946, funded by the U.S. Army, John Mauchly and J. Eckert built the
first major eletronic digital computer using vacuum tubes. The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Computer) was huge and weighed about 30 tons.
(K: _____) The developments which took place during World War II led to the advances made in the
period that followed the war. The period after the war led to the subsequent generations of computers,
which may be described as the modern age of computers.
(L: _____) In 1944, Howard Aiken and some engineers from IBM completed MARK 1, an
electromechanical calculating device controlled by punched cards. This first digital computer could
figure out long lists of mathematical problems and was used military ballistics.
