This assignment will have you selecting an important person from the history of computers and writing up a short report on that person. There is a list of names below that you can select from, or you can suggest another person.
The report should address a few things.
First, give a biographical history of the person. When did they live? What did they do? What was their contribution to the history of technology?
Second, discuss the contribution that they made to technology. What is so important about what the person did? How did it change the world of technology? Why is this contribution unique?
Third, discuss how their contribution has changed the world. How was the contribution your person made important in their day? How is it still important in our day? How has it impacted your life?
Finally, as a believer, we often can see that the Lord is behind many of the important things that happen in history. How do you think that God has intending this contribution to be useful to mankind, or to our world? What are some biblical principles that the contribution either helps, or disagrees with? Try to use one or more bible verses to back this up.
This report should be approximately 1000 words in length, in a double-spaced document. You should make use of at least two references, other than Wikipedia or our textbook, and please use the APA style of citations to the reference. Here is a rubric to give you an idea of the way this assignment will be graded.
