ex. 2

1. In 1837, Charles Babbage described his Analytical Engine, which was a general-purpose programmable computer that used punched cards for input and a steam engine for power.

В 1837 году Чарльз Бэббидж описал свой аналитический дивгатель, который был многоцелевым программируемым компьютером, который использовал перфокарты для ввода и паровой двигатель для получения энергии.

1. The next step in the history of the computer was the invention of the transistor in 1947 which replaced the power-hungry valves with a much smaller and reliable component.

Следующим шагом в истории компьютеров стало изобретение транзисторов в 1947, которые заменили требующие большого количества энергии радиоламп на гораздо более маленький и надёжный компонент.

1. The explosion in computers really began with the invention of the integrated circuit (or microchip), which led to the invention of the microprocessor at Intel.

Компьютерный бум на самом деле начался с изобретением интегральных схем (или микрочипов), что привело к изобретению микропроцессоров в Intel.

1. Alan Turing was an extremely gifted man, who was influential in the development of computer science.

Алан Тьюринг был очень одарённым человеком, который повлиял на становление кибернетики.

1. His famous Turing Machine played a significant role in the creation of the modem computer. Turing found that it was possible, in principle, to diverse one single universal machine, that could carry out any possible computations.

его знаменитая Машина Тьюринга сыграла значительную роль в создании современных компьютеров. Тьюринг обнаружил, что возможно, в принципе, создать одну единую универсальную машину, которая могла бы провести все возможные вычисления.
