The earliest example of equine footwear we have is made of animal hide and dates from about 600 B.C. This primitive hoof protector looks more like a horse bootie than what we think of today as a horseshoe. It was probably stuffed with dried grass or other available natural material and tied on with hide thongs.
The spiral model is a software development process combining elements of both design and prototyping-in-stages, in an effort to combine advantages of top-down and bottom-up concepts. The spiral model was defined by Barry Boehm in his article A Spiral Model of Software Development and Enhancement from 1985. This model was not the first model to discuss iterative development, but it was the first model to explain why the iteration matters.
The Baby was built to test a new memory technology developed by Williams and Kilburn -- soon known as the Williams Tube â which was the first electronic random access memory for a computer. The first program, consisting of seventeen instructions and written by Kilburn, ran on June 21st, 1948.he Z3, an early computer built by German engineer Konrad Zuse working in complete isolation from developments elsewhere, uses 2,300 relays, performs floating point binary arithmetic, and has a 22-bit word length. The Z3 was used for aerodynamic calculations but was destroyed in a bombing raid on Berlin in late 1943.
