True or false
F T F F
? 1. Charles Babbage was the computers’ real father. [ Alan Turing. ] ? 2. The speaker was built as an Analytical Machine in 1822. ? 3. The speaker was called a calculating machine in 1936. [ a universal machine ] ? 4. The speaker was given a family connected by a network in the late 1960s. [ in the early 1960s ]

3. Questions
Q1: How did the computer work as an Analytical Machine? The computer followed instructions from cards with holes. Q2: In which way did computers talk to humans? Using BASIC. Q3: What does “others” (2.6) refer to? Other computers.
