What important concept or perspective did you encounter today?

Today I learnt about history of computing.
Human-Computer Interaction
the mother of all demos was interesting
I encountered the importance of empathy and mirroring in ELIZA's conversational design.
How "THE MOTHER OF ALL DEMOS" changed the world forever
There is a shorter hsitory of computers then i thought there was.
Mother of all demos and ELIZA program
Today we learned about motion of all lens
That women were the first people to run code on the NEIAC the first working computer.
CIPS meeting and topics and social dilemma and risks and rewards
No, we just watched a show
That the history of computing is largely attributed to white men when, in reality, there were many other contributors of diverse backgrounds including women and people of colour.
The Mother of All Demos is a profound concept that i have encountered today.
Women were part of the team that invented the first ENIAC Computers
Getting to know about different milestones in computing history helps to understand the exponential growth of technology we talked about in other class.
The contribution of Women in history of analog computer development and need to recognize their efforts.
no
Women were the first programmers
The mother of all demos video
We talked about computer history, Ted talk, etc..
The concept of "bootstrapping," which involves each experimental transformation of a socio-technical system feeding back into the system itself, fostering continuous evolution and improvement.
Today, I learned about "The Mother of all Demos" which was a live demo that introduced the key components of our digital world today: hypertext, video conferencing, word processing, mouse, etc. It's a pivotal moment in history that truly embodies the power of computers as tools for collaboration and augmentation of our collective intelligence.
The concept which we covered today was related to the human computer interaction
Problem associated with social dilemma
Something important that I encountered in this class is how the first computer programmers were women. Women who are never mentioned nor credited for their contribution to the creation of computation. I think this is important to know, not just so more women can have female role models to look up to, but also to pay more attention to how gender bias these industries are such as the computing industry.
An important concept was talking about Ada Lovelace, credited as the first computer programmer, and then personally considering her impact on gender ethics in computer science.
the history of the computer
Today I learned that many women were involved in the development and programming of computers during war times.
The beginnings of tech/computers
I found it important to learn about the diversity that was there in the early days of computing. I think it’s crazy how a lot of that diversity was hidden from the public and it’s only coming out years later because of revisionist historians that are bringing recognition to these pioneers.
Mother of all demos video
nothing
the lack of representation of women in the development of computing

Mother of all demos
Mother of All Demos
I encountered the concept of women's names not being mentioned in old computer creations, and how the lack of representation affects women today.
An important perspective that I encountered today was the fact that such intricate machines that we have now stemmed from vacuum pipes and the whole world revolves around that technology. Having said that, about the women in STEM I knew women often did not get credit but it was really great to see Kathy shed light on the brilliant women who helped create the field that I am studying.
not found anything that important
No
compputer history
Mother of all Demos , the beginning of computing
the history of how computer was originated
Eliza
About ted talks
The first “computers” were woman. Woman were the first people to program the computer. Their contribution to the first computer was “hidden” or “forgotten” in the past. Only recently those woman have gotten credit for their hard work and discovery.
Computing history, demos of different hardware and software, role of women in building computers
none
The introduction of the NLS, and how it changed computers.
THE GOOD THING TODAY I LEARNED WAS THE VIDEO ABOUT 1968 “Mother of All Demos” by SRI’s Doug Engelbart and Team
The history of computer (as a whole)
Today a important concept I encountered was the very first computer and showing how it operated and all the features
Today we started talking about the history about computing and we watched videos about the first programmers. I think its very important to learn about where computing came from and how far its come! It shows how much we have learned and developed. It shows that we can always improve.
Women in STEM being forgotten in history
That it is important to study history, to know how far we have come, how much has changed, and how little has changed.
History of Computing, Mother of All Demos, ELIZA
I learned about the history of technology such as the computer and the nuclear bombs
We watched a few videos and one of them was about the women coders that helped build one of the first computers.
Milestones in Computer History
ELIZA
We discussed about assignment and about mother of all demos`
We watched on a movie on social dilemma
Everything
discussed Part 2 of Skills Assessment assignment Mother of All Demos VIDEO Mother of All Demos ELIZA
No
Today was about the part 2 of the 1st assignment and also videos about the invention of mouse etc
Yes
I think it was about the assignment's grades and the next assignment for individuals skills assesment part 2.
Some information regarding skill assignment part two.
Today we learned about Eliza a natural learning processing program.
We had members from the CSSS come to class today to talk about the upcoming elections. Today, we talked about the mother of all demos. The first public demonstration of the mouse, and modern computing. We also talked about ELIZA, which is an early computer language. We also watched a TED Talk, which talked about the role of women in the computer society.
No
got to know about eliza which was the best part of today's class
An important perspective today is that learning about history is important, as it makes aware of the figures behind many of the things we have today. In particular, we looked at the birth of the computer and ENIAC and the diversity of its team. One of the speakers of the TedTALK mentioned that we should be acknowledging this diversity show that anyone can be like them, and how anyone can go into STEM.
Today we discussed about ELIZA
The most important perspective I encountered today was the TED talk we watched on how women were hidden from the computer science field. Especially early on, women didn't get credit for the work they accomplished.
Watch some movie and discuss skills assignment
We talked about Charles Babbage and why is it important to study history
we watched a video in class today. there were a couple of computer jokes but i didnt understtand it.
Today's important concept was breakthroughs in technology and its history. We discussed some names that were fundamental to the development of today's knowledge of technology (Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace), and other less known names (ENIAC Women) that contributed to the early computers.
Everything
ELZIA
No
Watched a video from the social dilemma and it speaks about how notifications can be positive as well as how it can be negative

Social dilemma
Today we watched videos about the women who helped build the first computer. We also watched a video about the beginnings of computation during the manhattan project.
The mother of All demos
An important concept we talked about today in class was the history of computers, what are the milestones and when did we start keeping track. One milestone we talked about was ELIZA, how it paved the way for human-computer interactions. Not only did it pave the way of technology, it was also invented by women in stem; thus now, empowering other women to go into stem.
Reviewing important inventions in technology.
Something important I came across in today's lecture was a piece of computing history that I did not previously know about.
Mother of All Demos Video Notes (Map of all the milestones) - the mouse - 1968? Had 2 wheels perpendiculat to each other right, very inefficient could only move left right up and down - chording keyboard - learning curve was not small (kind of like going from a tricycle to a bicycle)
not much
Eliza
Today’s lecture reminded me about Charles Babage and initial computing inventions.
attention span is a price in and of itself
The history of computing and the untold stories behind computer engineering and computer science.
I got to know about mother of demos today
Regulations and laws are needed to protect users' privacy and data collection
We watched video of mother of all demons
more about ai
Today lecture was very interesting...

History of computing
I learned about the first time demonstration of fundamental personal computing was done, and how it was called the mother of all demos
I learned about the history of computing, and watched several videos, one of them being "The Mother of All Demos".
So many
The concept of mother of all language and how it was a major landmark for computer demonstration and development. This demonstration's underlying concepts and technologies influenced both the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows graphical user interface operating systems in the 1980s and 1990s.
Today we watched different videos. one was regarding history of computing while one was a ted talk video explaining women's role in computing.
An important concept I encountered today is various milestones in computing history and how different parts of the computer first started out. For example, I learned that the mouse only had 2 perpendicular wheels at the time of creation, and that the keyboard first started out as a chording keyboard that had a fairly large learning curve. As technology began to advance, more features and optimizations were added to the computer, which helped develop the modern computers we have today.
The idea of "mother of all languages" and how it marked a significant turning point in the development and display of computers. The fundamental ideas and technology of this demonstration affected the graphical user interface operating systems of Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh in the 1980s and 1990s.
no
The first public demonstration of the computer mouse and fundamentals of modern computing
We discussed when computers were invented and wacthed a video on mother of all demos.

Was there anything today about which you would like to know more?

I would like to know more about ENIAC, the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer.
more example and details about Human-Computer Interaction
I thought the Mother of All Demos was pretty interesting, it would be cool to learn more of that.
None
Maybe dig deeper into ELIZA's historical significance and its impact on the development of natural language processing.
I would like to know more about ELIZA
I would hav eliked to know more about what could hav ebeen on those cards from bacardi.
No
no
More about the history of the first computers designed for specific tasks.
no
Nothing comes to my mind, but maybe more about assignment
more depth about eliza would be great for future.
The milestones in Computing History
How the 6 female led program was made before any compilers or coding knowledge in general. Could be helpful in creating undiscovered programs or algorithms.
Are all these women (referred to as computers) recognize equally?
no
I would like to know more about computer history.
I want to learn about ELIZA
No
No, I was satisfied with what i learned today.

I find the history of computers and coding to be very interesting so I always like to learn more about that!
Uptil now Assignment 2 is going good but if i have any question will email you
no
more on this subject would be interesring
How do the digital ink strokes we leave behind while editing documents silently reveal more than we intend? What to do about this?
.
Eliza programming language
yes... I want to know more about Eliza
I woul'd like to know more about how the integral components of a computer differ today than in the past.
no
Nope
more about the early computert stages
Maybe more about the ENIAC during the WW2
everything is straight forward
It would definitely be enlightening to learn more about the people that have been "forgotten" in the development of the computer science field. The women who programmed the ENIAC, the topic brought up in class, had a crazy impact on the field of programming, and it would be awesome to see what other people have been forgotten in favour of the typical white dudes we see in the written records.
