Thinking Machines

There have been countless thinking machines over the years. In class we have discussed several of these machines. The machines discussed include ENIAC, Colossus, Enigma Machine, Codex, and Memex. Several of these machines never made it past the drawing board but their plans have led to the creation to several theories and other thinking machines

I like how your posting had a 'strong educational feel' to it. It was direct and to the point allowing the reader to absorb all that you had to say.
I also liked the following points you made in your post:
1: the Memex translates to 'memory extender'
2. the Memex was the 'brainchild' of Vannevar Bush
3. the ENIAC was 'initially designed to calculate artillery-firing tables for the U.S. Army's Ballistics Team'.
To conclude, I really enjoyed how you used a strong tone in your post to get across the important educational points about thinking machines. GOOD JOB!!!

This is a very well-informed blog. The article’s introduction commences into giving examples of some of the different kinds of thinking machines, and then it changes into giving thorough details of two thinking machine creations: the “memory extending” memex, and the analyze-artillery firing ENIAC. This article was well written and incredibly informative. Excellent job.

I agree Bush's work has been very influential to many inventions. Although, many thinking machines never made it to actual products. Their theorized purpose expanded to many ideas and led inventors to coming up with products we rely on and depend on for basic living. Great job!!
