why is george stibitz famous?

Answer 1

George Robert Stibitz (April 20, 1904 – January 31, 1995) is internationally recognized as a father of the modern digital computer. He was a Bell Labs researcher known for his 1930s and 1940s work on the realization of Boolean logic digital circuits using electromechanical relays as the switching element.

Stibitz held 38 patents, in addition to those he earned at Bell Labs. He became a member of the faculty at Dartmouth College in 1964 to build bridges between the fields of computing and medicine, and retired from research in 1983.

In his later years, George "turned to non-verbal uses of the computer". Specifically, he used an Amiga to create computer art.

Answer 2

George Stibitz (1904 - 1995) was an inventor, recognized as the father of the modern digital computer in 1939 - National Inventors Hall of Fame.

In 1937, George Stibitz decided that the electromechanical relays that were the chief components in telephone switching systems could be used for another purpose.

George Stibitz invented a Model K (the K standing Kitchen) digital calculator.

In 1937, George Robert Stibitz, a scientist at Bell Laboratories, built a digital machine called the Model K, which was based on relays, flashlight bulbs, and metal strips cut from tin-cans.

Answer 3

George R. Stibitz is internationally recognized as the father of the modern digital computer. Stibitz's interest in computers arose from an assignment in 1937 to study magneto-mechanics of telephone relays; he turned his attention to the binary circuits controlled by the relays, to the arithmetic operations expressible in binary form, and, in November 1937, to the construction of a two-digit binary adder. The next year, with the help of S.B. Williams of Bell Labs, he developed a full-scale calculator for complex arithmetic. This computer was operational late in 1939 and was demonstrated in 1940 by remote control between Hanover, New Hampshire, and New York. Several binary computers of greater sophistication followed. In these were introduced the excess 3 code, floating decimal arithmetic, self-checking circuits, jump program instructions, taped programs and 'table-hunting' subcomputers
