Grace Hopper joined the Navy in 1943 and was assigned to work on the Harvard Mark I computer and later was on the team that developed the UNIVAC I, where she came up with the idea that computers should be programmed in English instead of machine language. She developed one of the first compiler-based programming languages, FLOW-MATIC, which became the basis for COBOL, which is still in use by major financial institutions over 60 years later. She retired in 1986 at age 79 with the rank of Rear Admiral; at the time she was the oldest active-duty commissioned officer in the Navy.
She was still only a Captain at the time of this lecture in 1982.
