IBM Centennial Presentation





The production of the Hollerith Tabulating Machine marked the start of IBM's centennial success. IBM stands for International Business Machines. They are a technology company that manufactures and markets computer hardware, middleware, and software. They also offer consulting and hosting services for mainframe computers to nanotechnology. IBM produced a lot of inventions that paved way to the present technology we are enjoying today. The notable inventions mentioned in the video that I can recall are the typewriter, automated teller machine (ATM), the dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), the floppy disk, and the hard disk drive.

IBM truly has contributed a lot to the progress of our world. It opened a way for many possibilities that before seemed impossible. It was the change that people wanted, the change that turned their lives  a hundred and eighty degrees. Work became faster, efficient, and accurate. People kept on discovering new things because of this technology. Because of IBM, there were more job opportunities; people were eager to learn the technicalities and were accepted to work. IBM promotes equality and accepts workers from all sexes, colors, and races. Indeed, IBM is a blessing to mankind; without them, we wouldn't have the progress we are experiencing right now.

"All the problems of the world would be settled easily if men were only willing to think"
