Mother of Compilers

There are a lot of historical events which haven’t being presented openly jet, for example the history from Grace Hopper. It is very interesting knowing everything about her life and the evolution of the field in computer science, her vision and passion made technology what is today, the idea of creating the first compiler, which translates a “universal” language into machine code, available in many machines and easier to understand, managing the expression of a high level language into calculations for a machine, which is a big step of processing information in an efficient and more easy way.

Women had worked in this field for many years, being also the pioneers of computer science, now a days it is not surely known how many women contributed to this field and their names, but Grace Hopper stands in the representation of all the women who had put their effort and talent into the evolution of technology, and not only technology, this may be applied to other fields and areas.

Role models are important for our society, role models rise emotion and enthusiasm to younger generations, which encourages them to keep track of work and the continuous evolution of mankind. For modern generations this is more homogeneous, the integration and recognition of women in many fields is being performed, and willing to expand the human mind into the future.

This example of success should be raised and be aware of, because it gives the motivation for younger generations to take part in what its needed and also what is important for the individual and the society. Just like Grace Hopper mentioned, sometime we are not really aware of the resources we have, being the most great the younger generations that are the future. By knowing this story, readers can get the motivation they need to succeed.
