Exercise 1. Prepare PPT presentation using the given material and additional sources
I BM started in the late nineteenth century as manufacturer of electromechanical office tabulating equipment: the company took its current name in 1924. It financed one of the first digital computers, a clacking electromechanical monster known as Mark I, in 1943. IBM’s first president Thomas Watson, Sr., commissioned the project, possibly as an expensive publicity stunt – research, advertising, and publicity – all came out of the same budget in those days. IBM did not immediately enter the computer business after the war and did not deliver its first computer until 1953. In 1954 IBM was only the fourth-ranked computer producer, well behind computer industry pioneer – Radio Corporation of America (RCA). That year IBM introduced the Model 650, the first computer to utilize punch-card technology.
Over the next decades, IBM made heavy investments in research and development under Thomas Watson, Jr., who took over from his father as IBM president in the mis-1950s. IBM capitalized on its manufacturing expertise to produce a full line of peripheral equipment: printers terminals, keypunch machines and card sorters that brought enormous profits for IBM and unbeatable competition for other computer manufacturers.
By the mid-1950s, IBM threatened to dominate the entire computer industry with its fast-selling Model 650. IBM also offered its computers for sale for the first time instead of renting them as it previously had insisted. This allowed leasing companies to buy computer equipment from IBM and then rent it to computer users at prices lower than IBM itself could charge. These changes opened up competition in the computer services and equipment leasing markets.
In April 1964 IBM introduced the Model 360, the first computer that came in a variety of sizes and that was compatible with many different applications. Software and peripheral devices that worked on any one of the versions also worked on the others and were also “backward compatible” with earlier IBM models. Before, users had to start over with entirely new software, printers, and terminals and so on, whenever they switched to a larger computer or added a new application. The Model 360 and its successor, the Model 370, led the company to dominance of both U.S and international markets.
IBM’s enormous success with room-sized mainframe computers eventually proved its undoing. It made unsuccessful entries into many of the specialized computer markets that later emerged. IBM abandoned the high-performance supercomputer market in the 1960s, and it entirely missed the minicomputer trend, pioneered in the early 1960s by Digital Equipment Corporation.
By the time IBM came out with its own models, minicomputers were about to be made obsolete by another new product that IBM ultimately failed to capitalize on the desktop-sized personal computer.
Notes:
Unbeatable competition – непреодолимая конкуренция / yengib bo’lmas raqobat
To charge a price – назначать цену / narxni belgilash
Backward compatible – обратно совместимый / qayta moslashuv
To be about to… - начинать / boshlamoq
To make entry – вступать / kirishmoq
