TEXT 1

                                    When was the first computer unvented?

            The word "computer" was first recorded as being used in 1613 and was originally used to describe a human who performed calculations or computations. The definition of a computer remained the same until the end of the 19th century when people began to realize machines never get tired and can perform calculations much faster and more accurately than any team of human computers ever could.
            In 1822, Charles Babbage began developing the Difference Engine, which was considered to be the first automatic computing engine. It was capable of computing several sets of numbers and making hard copies of the results. Unfortunately, because of funding he was never able to complete a full-scale functional version of this machine. In June of 1991, the London Science Museum completed the Difference Engine Nº 2 for the bicentenni- al year of Babbage's birth and later completed the printing mechanism in 2000.

  • Não sei se to errado mais a banca pede pra escrever T para verdade e N para falso

    ainda na resposta to procurando N e vem F questão que pode ser anulada mesmo erro de grafia da banca.

     

  • Verifiquei o mesmo erro Marco Antônio,

    Mas de todo modo, seria bom que respondessemos como se correta fosse. Errei a questão e só depois entendi o porquê: A primeira é False pois o significado de computador pernaneceu o mesmo até o fim do séc. 19.

    A segunda é True pois a resposta seria que somente após o sec 19 é que se percebeu que as máquinas poderiam fazer cálculos mais rápidos que pessoas. Essa questão não me parece tão correta pois o texto não afirma isso, mas afirma que no final do séc.19  é que começou-se a ter essa percepção e não no após ele.

    A terceira afima. corretamente que a versão melhorada do 1° computador está no London Science Museum

    Logo, a resposta é  False, True, True ( apesar da segunda está mal escrita)

  • d-

    F - The definition of a computer remained the same until the end of the 19th century

     

    T - Afterwards, people started coming to grips with the reality that computers can outperform them on calculations

     

    T - The development of the Difference Engine fell through and only in 1991 did the London Science Museum pick up the slack and finished its intended design, implementing printing features in 2000.
