The source stated that Fernando Carbato, who passed away at the age of 93, in a nursing home, was one of those who helped invent the “computer” by developing what is known as “the time” in computing.
This time is based on the ability of a group of people to interact with one computer at the same time through telephone lines, and this matter was a major development, in the sixties of the last century, and made Karbato as the father of the computer in its modern form.
The widow of the late, Emily Carbato, said that the health status of the inimitable inventor had greatly deteriorated due to complications of diabetes, and Fernando passed away, and he holds the title of Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Carbato spent most of his career at the prestigious scientific institute and oversaw his ambitious project during the 1960s.
Fernando was born in July 1926, in California, and his father, descended from Spain, was a professor of Spanish literature, and in 1943 he entered the University of California Los Angeles, and was included in the Navy as a technician during World War II.
The late said, in a previous press interview, that the US Navy was in dire need of technicians, at the time, because it was looking for people to carry out important maintenance work on warships.
But as soon as Fernando left the Navy, in 1946, he entered the California Institute of Technology, graduated with a bachelor's degree in physics and then joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In his doctoral thesis, the late focused on molecular physics, which required large computations that required a computer.
