ENIAC naci\u00f3 un d\u00eda como hoy hace 70 a\u00f1os<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Seventy years ago, the ENIAC Programmers prepared for the great public unveiling of ENIAC (a top-secret WWII project) and programmed the ballistic trajectory onto the ENIAC \u2013 a differential calculus equation programmed onto a computer with only ten words of memory (try that today!).<\/p>\n

Yet, while their program succeeded so brilliantly and defined clearly the new innovation of computers, the women were never introduced. They were never honored or recognized or names. They helped out as they always did: taking coats and passing out printouts of their trajectory. That they could answer every question anyone asked them about ENIAC seems to have fallen by the wayside \u2013 Jean Jennings Bartik, Betty Snyder Holberton, Kathleen McNulty Mauchly Antonelli, Marlyn Wescoff Meltzer, Ruth Lichterman Teitelbaum and Frances Bilas Spence were just women.<\/p>\n

Apparently, new scholarship based on only \u201cwhat is in the written record\u201d again discredits the women and takes away from their innovations. Is is a shame to take this approach because in the 1940s women were not included in the written record. If we have learned anything in 70 years, it is that the perspectives and biases of writers in their time may not give us a full picture of the innovations that took place and the inventors who made them. That the men chose not to write about the women then is a historical fact; that the University of Pennsylvania chooses not to recognize and honor their accomplishments today is a tremendous misfortune.<\/p>\n
