Silicon wafer e screw press: o que têm em comum
- Passo 1. Silicon wafer — é material para — Integrated circuit. Chips are made on wafers.
- Passo 2. Integrated circuit — faz parte de — Mainframe. The hybrid circuits of the System/360.
- Passo 3. Mainframe — utiliza — Punched card. Programs were entered on punched cards.
- Passo 4. Punched card — é utilizado em — Jacquard loom. Each punched card sets one pass of the pattern.
- Passo 5. Jacquard loom — funciona como — Gutenberg printing press. An analogy, not proven influence: both set type and a chain of punched cards are a replaceable pattern that a machine reproduces over and over.
- Passo 6. Gutenberg printing press — tem como parte — Screw press. Gutenberg adapted the screw press known from pressing grapes.
