Joseph Marie Jacquard invented the Jacquard loom in 1804. It was a machine that weaved complex fabric design. It was the first machine that used punched cards. These (punched cards) were used to control the weaving process particularly the design of the clothes to be woven.

In others words, he made a programmable loom,

No, they only make peripherals for computers not computers themselves.


Who made the greatest contribution to computing?

Correction, this is WHAT was the greatest contribution, sorry!There could be many different answers to this question... First generation computers used Vacuum Tubes, these computers were very slow and could only handle one process at a time, they were also VERY large and expensive. Vacuum tubes were replaced by Transistors, which were smaller, cheaper, and faster, however transistors produced a lot of heat (these computers used punch cards and ran off of assembly language [Binary Code]). Third generation computers marked the use of Integrated Circuits, there were basically small transistors placed on silicone chips, making computers even smaller and efficient (in this generation we saw the first User Interfaces and use of mouses [mice??] and keyboards). We are currently in the fourth generation of computers, this generation is marked by the placement of thousands of integrated circus onto a silicone chip, making up a Microprocessor. The fifth generation is currently in development and will be based off the principals of Artificial Intelligence (computers with brains!! kind-of except not really..) and Natural Language Recondition (you talk to the computer and it knows what you're saying).So really its your call, Vacuum Tubes, Transistors, Integrated Circuits, or Microprocessors?
