From Ada to Zuckerberg: History's most important IT people - Computing Readers of Computing will know better than most how wide-reaching and fantastic the effects of IT have been, and continue to be, on the human race. The leaps and bounds technology continues to make year in, year out are staggering. But who are the people that made information technology what it is today?

Google URL Shortener Posted by Michael Hermanto, Software Engineer, Firebase We launched the Google URL Shortener back in 2009 as a way to help people more easily share links and measure traffic online. Since then, many popular URL shortening services have emerged and the ways people find content on the Internet have also changed dramatically, from primarily desktop webpages to apps, mobile devices, home assistants, and more.

One of the problems with coming new to Computing is that (without wishing to sound like Donald Rumsfeld) you don’t know what you don’t know. Most teachers can probably see the name of a topic with which they’re not familiar, read about it, and teach it, but modular arithmetic is a simple mathematical concept and very useful programming technique that isn’t mentioned in the National Curriculum and I haven’t noticed it in any GCSE specification. If I were to ask you, “What is 10 ÷ 4?”, what would you say?
