3:16 Jim edge chance
Too late came the tube pioneers Eckert Mauchly and also to Watson, the expected after the experience of scientists no longer Aiken too much. to have your offers, ENIAC IBM mature for mass production, Watson refused to link to from market research. For the second bite Bittgang Watson not. This was the chance for Jim Rand, the gap from the punch card era . Wipe out The project
UNIVAC I began. In 1951, the first commercial computer flickered on the picture tubes of the United States. Radio and television produced a true computer-to-noise and Watson put the biggest shock of his career. He had to watch as Jim Rand, his strongest rival in the punch-card time, media policy, celebrated in its purest form. But not only that: UNIVAC I secured for the second time a competitor the most well-oriented application rate of the census.
that it was Watson again, "despite a major bias that was ever in market analysis" (Datamation), the presented knowledge about the computing tubes catch was, at first, disobedience of his son, Thomas J. Watson Jr., secondly, to the inability Jim Rands, a technological lead of three decades put into commerce, third, on a crash program started quickly.
- At first: Because of market exploration, the old Watson prohibited any research in the field of large computer systems. But his son did this development continue to cook on low flame.
- to second, while Jim held the edge with its UNIVAC I a giant vortex, but people across the count, he forgot to think about the market and its opportunities. He made the crucial mistake, can tailor his suit to IBM-dimensions. He copied Watson's show business and forgot to put the Slow-business, the gradual introduction of new technologies.
- At third, the second major crash program that could provide only a company like IBM with its then already substantial cash reserves on the legs showed after twelve months, the first marketable result: the technical-scientific computer IBM 701, the 1953, the IBM computer business was 702nd
The installation numbers for the first time "in series" computers were built all round modest: the 701 was installed in April 1953 to the first and last time that it took 702 to eight installations worldwide. The UNIVAC I installations corresponded clearly not the spectacular TV preaching via: Despite careful research could only install speed (namely 23) erfmittelt which, however, includes the following system UNIVAC II. (Even in the Diebold-statistics, these systems appear no longer true.)
