Her father helped Babbage with the analytic engine. 6) a)"father of computing" ada lovelace father b)I added the keyword "father" to the query from the previous question to further narrow the search. c)http://hardware.silicon.com/servers/0,39024647,11035241,00.htm -answer:Ada's father was the English poet Lord Byron who helped Babbage withthe analytic engine. 7) a)"father of computing" ada lovelace father first b)I replaced the keyword "father" from the previous query with "first" in order to find the pages with both Ada Lovelace and first on them. c)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computer_science -answer:Ada Lovelace was the publisher of the first ever computer programs for the analytic engine. 8) a)ENIAC weight, ENIAC weight kilograms b)Added the keyword kilogrmas to original query to find the ENIAC's weight on kilograms. c)http://uwp.edu/~lee00041/L4pla.html -answer:27215.544 kilograms 9) a)ENIAC original design b)I added the keywords "original" and "design" to the original query to find its original purpose c)http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/v42/n18/eniac.html -answer:The ENIAC was originally designed to compute complex mathematical equations. 10) a)ENIAC year b)I added the keyword "year" to the original query to find the year the ENIAC Was made. c)http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/entries/dt45en.html -answer:1945 11) a)ENIAC before other "fully programmable" computers b)By adding the keywords "other" and the phrase "fully programmable" I was able to narrow my seach and find what I was looking for. c)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computing_hardware -answer:In 1623, Wilhelm Schickard built the first digital mechanical calculator
