[Applause]
I immediately turn on the machine so there
I show what he could do when he did it
have launched and I’ll show you that
it can be used as a car
calculation any question they say i
numbers
the operation is requested by the machine
perform the operation there is only to be kept
present that uses the Polish notation
inverse ie this machine not to the
the same key because it is the best way
to be able to do one operations
behind the other indefinitely
here this is the most peaceful use
of the car but then also had the
possibility of running programs
It was the first I could do it in one
extremely simple way to read
the program and I’m going to download
of an application then yes
they set the numbers of ten never numbers
decimals that we want and then give i
numbers that are needed for this
application is the application I have
loaded is an amortization schedule e
It will make you understand how this machine has
changed the way a lot works
of people this is an amortization plan
so a financial speech
however the same concept can be
brought in all areas in which there is
need to make calculations
I to run this plan of
amortization what is expected and
that I introduce a capital and then that
I love the setting then I introduce the
number of years of depreciation e
then the interest with which I ask of
calculate starts the program and the
machine and start doing the job
I did wrong
however it is a car that follows me
as I read a lot of time and then
let’s see if the car guys decided
to let me try again and then there is
mistaken
a moment of patience because time
it flows I’m sorry he decided to go
He knows why he did not want the case anyway
concept that I wanted to express was the
fact that before this machine is
one had to continue doing him
operations instead from when there is this
machine automatically she arranges itself
and it’s printing you think some it was
in the bank for customers in front of one
time said if you go for 15 days
I have to do some operations instead of
when there is this car while he is
chatter holds the car of
print and colors to with all
your repayment schedule and so
we can put our slides and here
I want to tell you the story of how
we arrived at this car one
history and memory if you want sure
because it’s part of my memories
very vivid memories and so ours
history begins in 1955 when adriano
olivetti accepts the invitation of the
University of Pisa to participate in
develop the calculation tori ceva them
create a laboratory that is the
laboratory of certain electronic with the
mallet on another person I want
remember and this group and pisa is
party and in four years doing three
step that is a v 0 that to valves a v
name tav algor half transistor is
managed to launch the first in 59
electronic calculator completely a
transistor of the story unfortunately and
This was a result that if there
think a moment to incredible
unfortunately then in 60 adriano must
miss in the 61 moria also mario giu
and then the son of adriano roberto
levels we see conju taken a while
in the hand what was the laboratory
one of the things that who he is who he is is
to ask the engineer perotto
to try using technology
of computer lea to make one
lawley computing machine 20 had
made his fortune with the machines
of mechanical calculation and had then
pulled out the computer says but with
that technology should do one
stain from cancer and it is this that has
unleashed what was the job
a research we have is that then has us
brought to make this car a
launch the first personal first attack
computer centers memory a bit because
one of the first things he did for 8 is
to consider seeing him
he wanted to aim for a car he had
its space from a point of view
commercial not just a study
he decided to give up in the first place
but that was the memory of the loyal 9300s
and the memory of lea was a memory
nuclei what you see a form
consisting of seven floors each floor a
10 thousand yarns each of wolf
threaded with four threads all over
so you can imagine that
that was the cost the complexity of
these memories say if we start from
this memory we will not succeed
surely to achieve something that
is on the desk that costs little and that
so it can be acceptable as one
advanced calculating machine made us
then try it as your first exercise
to use an old memory
the magneto line boots on the right
see what he went into
production on the left the first
prototype that was built for us
do our experiment this the
principle I have to go to fast because
otherwise he did not arrive
we decided to make a car
programmable you have seen that the
machine performed a goodness program
his this time anyway
we have defined a language of 15
instructions we were convinced it was
simple and easy to use and then
we have created a prototype that
runs a machine that performed this
we tested it and we have it
I understood that there was a fundamental problem
when we waited for the car
he lost the program every time he did
we had to introduce it we need to do by hand
programs of a certain length up
to the 120 instructions making them a husband
saying amanda you could do some
so we had to check then
the program we had introduced e
find it again and then all the advantage
programmability went a bit for
everything and then we decided to look
a way for the program to notice
defined once written is in
machine could be stored e
then used without having to reproduce it
another time and we have defined the
magnetic postcard was the invention
of the first discrete magnetic medium
of history
and so a complete has completed the
functionality of the machine
the machine has assumed a scheme
very simple architecture that here
you see a logical network then not
there were cpu a memory an organ of
keyboard input or north of auto
because the small print is the organ of
second- level memory that is the
magnetic postcard for applications
law is however here to remember in that
time that have become had to give
the electronic division the general
elettric everything was therefore sold
yielded we say between us small group
of the cargob in general for 8 to a
certain point says in this situation a
bit chaotic and better than we do some
I bring them back I have to go
fast here and these are the photographs
of what we were doing halfway
of 64
as soon as we have finished we say
test this second level of
definitive prototype the proto the closed
in a box and presented it
to management and olivetti that between
the other then a call the skin
perottina defense in honor of liberotto
hurried first-person Christmas
capellaro who had been the father of the
mechanical calculation old pains
we tried, I was there because I did
just demonstrator and that was it
a topical moment that is the gene x 8 ha
explained to chaplain how the
line objective manner what did the
machine, etc., then he set himself to
wait for the cappellaro verdict
at least 30 seconds has remained
in silence all of us waiting for him
who was the father of the calculation
mechanical say of the olivetti and not
only at that moment, among other things
he reveals he is tending to return his glories
through new generations of machines
mechanics christmas capellaro after one
thirty seconds is learned has put
the hand on the engineer’s shoulder
perotto and said dear engineer
seeing this car I understand that
the era of mechanical calculation is over and
for us it was a very long time
particular among other things for me felt
from this man
I read this really was a man
it was so great, among other things
he is a worker who has become an engineer
honoris causa at the bari university
so the car was then dressed
from mario bellini the architect management
olivetti even if he did not believe this
type of machines decided to
I present it in the United States
gone as you see there was at the expo
world and to start the speech for the
presentation and has been presented
made a convention and then went to the
bim in new york
this machine has been presented a
but at the same time the people
when he understood what it was about
particular journalists wrote is
born a new tool e
the first desktop computer in history e
someone even wrote we think
that we will have a computer on every desk
before having the second car in the
garage and it was just so if
think one of the first customers was
the nasa that was preparing the landing
he has bought more than 40 for the moon
coincidentally in the presentation of the
program that up to the United States is
been made to trace what it is
been in the orbit of a satellite in that
the Americans were suffering now
because they wanted to be on the moon but i
first go to space had been i
Russians as they say and buy them
we have two photographs of the desks
of the nasa in which there are two programs
101 we also have a grace anyway
about 45 this practically with this one
presentation of the olivetti also the
management olivetti who did not believe in
this car was forced to
would be produced has begun
productions the beginning of 77 and from there it is
went on because not many know but
in fact from there a new one has begun
history because the olivetti has rebuilt
on this car to what it was
his world his electronics from his
informatics its ability to do
systems from lina launch when he died
all’ivivetti was not because he did not have
worked personal computer speech
now to finish I’ll tell one
anecdote that in 2012 there was al
Polytechnic University of Turin a race wanted by
which is a passionate of
everyone and the race was a good one
bit strokes contest called between
program 101 apple one and amstrad apple
one was 76 of this 65 and the show
dell 84
won the 101 one of the program
programs one of the programs that we
we brought because he brought a
some work programs for
compare etc with things one of the
programs was if we can pass
all
the thing was the search for numbers
first let’s see if this time me
prevents the car
the car can not tell me why I have
put 0 sorry I’m wrong
I was and I ‘m sure the diwali here is
car is going if we can put of
new is looking for the first numbers one
program that will go on
I think that or not to infinity that you do not
he sees but he feels he is finding every now and then
prime numbers is a program to which one
time has given the boot practically goes
go on until you go on brave
ability then go on to do
a few decades before stopping
but I will stop him first because otherwise
he gets tired saying he did not come out
the big bang says stop and so I am
this and transmit and affirm myself here
I stop the car and greet you
[Applause]
