III. THE ELECTROMECHANICAL
AGE: 1840 - 1940The discovery of ways to harness
electricity was the key advance made during this period. Knowledge and
information could now be converted to electrical impulses.

TELECOMMUNICATION
Art or science of communicating at a distance, esp. by means of electrical impulses.

•FOR THE FIRST TIME ELECTRICITY WAS USED IN THE OPERATION OF COMPUTERS, BUT COMPUTERS STILL HAD MANY MECHANICAL COMPONENTS.
• PROGRAMMING A COMPUTER DID NOT INVOLVE SOFTWARE. RATHER, THE PROGRAMMER ACTUALLY REWIRED THE PATHS OF ELECTRICITY THROUGH THE MACHINE IN ORDER TO CHANGE ITS MODE OF OPERATION.

ALESSANDRO VOLTA
VOLTAIC PILEThe first electric battery consists of a stack of alternating discs of zinc and copper or silver separated by felt
soaked in brine.They provided, for the first time, a simple source of stored electrical energy that didn’t rely on mechanical means.

THIS ERA DEVELOPMENT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO IN REFERENCE TO THE DIFFERENT GENERATIONS OF COMPUTING DEVICES. EACH GENERATION OF COMPUTER IS CHARACTERIZED BY A MAJOR TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT THAT FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED THE WAY COMPUTERS OPERATE, RESULTING IN INCREASINGLY SMALLER, CHEAPER, MORE POWERFUL AND MORE EFFICIENTAND RELIABLE DEVICES.
