#computing's

The earliest recognized device for computing was the abacus, invented in Mesopotamia around2500 BCE. It’s essentially a hand operated calculator, that helps add and subtract many numbers. It also stores the current state of the computation, much like your hard drive does today. The abacus was created because, the scale of society had become greater than what a single person could keep and manipulate in their mind.

The cloud: High performance computing's best hope?

Cloud Computing Partnership Formed with IBM and Michigan Municipal League Image by Michigan Municipal League (MML) The Michigan Municipal League is working in partnership with IBM to create and expand opportunities for the League and our members in the new world of cloud computing. The cities of Howell and Saline have agreed to be among the first communities in the nation to pilot the program. This is a very significant partnership for the League and for our members. This effort is directly in line with the League’s Center for 21st Century Communities initiative: www.mml.org/resources/21c3/about.html. The initiative lists eight assets that are essential for vibrant communities and one of those assets is "messaging and technology": www.mml.org/resources/21c3/technology.html. This IBM partnership is closely tied to that asset. The IBM Municipal Shared Services Cloud was officially announced this week by IBM and The League and is all over the web and in numerous media reports worldwide. A four-minute YouTube video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxvRSKZn0y8; featuring League Associate Executive Director and COO Tony Minghine and others is especially good at explaining what this is all about and what it could mean to municipalities. Here is the official press release with the annoucement: www.mml.org/pdf/newsroom/cloud-press-release-mml.pdf.
