    Analythical Machine
    Charles Babbage ,the first one who conceived the idea to calculate machine.The machine was design to solve mathematic formula.
  • Period: to

    1st generation

    Started to used vaccumm tubes for the circuitry,The storage is magnetic drums.They used punched card for input, and printout for output.
  • Colussus

    Colussus
    Is the first computer use for code breaking in world war.Used in British world war II to break the German code messages.
  • ENIAC

    ENIAC
    Stand for Electronic Numerical Integrator Analyzer and Computer. Developed and improved by John Mauchley and J. Presper Eckert Junior.
  • EDVAC

    EDVAC
    Created by John von Neumann.He developed the Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer (EDVAC).ECVAC had memory and it also stored data.
  • The transistor

    The transistor
    The transistor was invented by Bell Telephone Company in 1947.It was use in the computer component not the computer itself.
  • The UNIVAC

  • ERMA and MICR

    ERMA and MICR
    It was the first industry bank computer, including the MICR or the "magnetic ink character recognition" using for reading the checks.
  • Period: to

    2nd Generation

    They used transistor instead of vaccuum tube, and using the same storage with the same input and output.
  • COBOL

    COBOL
    The COBOL is stand for the word " Common Business-Oriented Language " which is used for programming language.
  • Video game

    Video game
    The spacewar games was invented for the first video game in the computer in the year 1962.
  • Period: to

    2nd Generation

    They used integrated circuited and also used keyboards and monitors instead of punched cards and print out.Run through many application once a time.

    Douglas Engelbart of Stanford Research was the one to created the mouse to use with the graphical user interface.
  • Hypertext

    Hypertext
    The hypertext was a text displayer which is invented in 1965.The term "hypertext" is coin by Andries van Dam and Ted Nelson.
  • RAM

    RAM
    It stand for the word " random-access memory".It was the world's first dynamic.Ram was the first microprocessor .
  • Intel 1103

    Intel 1103
    It is the world 's first computer memory using the dynamic RAM chip in the year of 1970.
  • Period: to

    4th Generation

    Started using microprocessor,contain millions of component in a ship.Can do billion calculations in a second.
  • Floppy disk

    Floppy disk
    Floppy disk is invented by Alan Shugart ,the leads team of IBM engineers.Floppy disk allowed the data to shared among the computers.
  • Ethernet

    Ethernet
    Ethernet was developed and improved by Robert Metcalfe, one of a member of the research of staff for Xerox.It is used for connecting computer hardware.
  • Apple
