Bibliography Konrad Zuse

 Konrad Zuse 

He was born in Berlin on June (the) 22th 1910. In Germany, Zuse graduated as a civil engineer from the Technische Hochschule Berlin-Charlottenburg (today the Technische Universität Berlin or Technical Univeersity of Berlin) in 1935. During his engineering studies, Zuse had to do many routine calculations by hand, which he found boring. This experience led him to dream of a machine that could do calculations. 

He started working at Henschel’s aircraft factory in Dessau, but only a year later he resigned his post to build a programmable machine. He worked in his parents' apartment in 1938 until he made his first attempt, called Z1, which was a binary mechanical calculator operated with electricity and limited programmability. He read instructions from a punched tape. The Z1 never performed well due to lack of sufficient mechanical precision. The Z1 and its original plans were destroyed during World War II.

 His most notable achievement was finishing the first computer controlled by working programs, the Z3 in 1941. This may have been the "first computer", although there are discrepancies in this regard, because if some aspects are considered, such as, for example, that Zuse's machine was not general purpose, perhaps it is for another purpose such as storing words or algorithms and was the first to be able to make 4 mathematical equations.) He also designed a high-level programming language, Plankalkül, supposedly in 1945, although it was a theoretical contribution, as the language was not implemented in Zuse's lifetime nor did it have any direct influence on the first languages developed. He also founded the first computer company in 1946 and built the Z4, which became in 1950 the first computer to be commercialized. 

Due to World War II, Zuse's early work went unnoticed outside Germany. Possibly Zuse's first documented influence on a foreign company was IBM’s acquisition of patents in 1946. Zuse died on December the 18th 1995 in Hünfeld, Hesse. 3

  My day    I’m going to tell you, how is a day in my life, I have to get up at 5:00 am I take a shower, I have to be quick, I go out, I get dressed, I should have a good breakfast, but I don't have enough, I just have a coffee with bread, I leave my house at 5:30 am I have to look for the shortest route, I have to drive carefully, I arrive at work at 6:00 am, I talk to my colleagues and we agree on how we should do the job and what tool should be used that day. The boss tells us that we must wear the uniform and the license all the time and that the work must be done in Mosquera, so we start the trip to Mosquera, we arrive at 8:00am and start work, at 12:00pm we must have lunch, we finish work at 5:00pm, I should arrive home at 7:00pm but there is too much traffic, and I arrive home at 8:00pm. my wife serves me lunch while I turn on the computer because I have to study English in the SENA, I study virtually every day, I must deliver the activities on time, but sometimes I arri

Crime is an ilegal activity such as murder or robbery. Have I done something wrong? Is this illegal? Punishment is a penalty imposed on someone who is convicted of a crime. It could be, for example, time in prison or a fine. What are my rights?                                                           You are under arrest. Can I call a lawyer?                           Where are you taking me?          Put your hands on your head. A man is assaulting another man.                                                    The police reported that a man was assaulting another man   All over the world there are laws and punishment in some form has been for correction and repentance of some crime or misconduct. There is an important difference between  criminal law  and  civil law . Criminal law deals with matters such as murder. Civil law deals with matters such as contracts or divorce. The police are not normally involved in civil law.
