`EDSAC
`(Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator) Developed by Maurice Wilkes at
`Cambridge University in England and completed in 1949, it was one ofthefirst
`stored program computers and oneofthefirst to use binary digits.
`Its memory was
`512 36-bit words ofliquid mercury delay lines, and its input and output were
`provided by paper tape. The EDSAC could do about 700 additions per second and
`200 multiplications per second.
`It was in routine use at the University until 1958,

`
`education
`Teaching concepts and perspectives. Computer education includes computer systems
`and information systems. Contrast with training.
`
`edutainment
`Educational material that is also entertaining.
`
`EEPROM
`(Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) A memory chip that
`holds its content without power,
`It can be erased, either within the computer or
`externally and usually requires more voltage for erasure than the common+5 volts
`used in logic circuits.
`It functions like non-volatile RAM, but writing to EEPROM
`is slower than writing to RAM.
`EEPROMsare used in devices that must keep data up-to-date without power. For
`example,a price list could be maintained in EEPROM chipsin a pointofsale
`terminal that is turned off at night. When prices change, the EEPROMscan be
`updated from a central computer during the day. EEPROMshavealifespan of
`between 10K and 100K write cycles. See flash memory.
