Hewlett-Packard is founded by David Packard and Bill Hewlett in a Palo Alto, California, garage, according to the Computer History Museum. -
First time information stored on main memory
Atanasoff and his graduate student, Clifford Berry, design a computer that can solve 29 equations simultaneously. This marks the first time a computer is able to store information on its main memory. -
Grandfather of digital computers
Two University of Pennsylvania educators, John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert, fabricate the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC). Thought about the granddad of computerized PCs, it fills a 20-foot by 40-foot room and has 18,000 vacuum tubes. -
First commercial computer for business
Mauchly and Presper leave the University of Pennsylvania and receive funding from the Census Bureau to build the UNIVAC, the first commercial computer for business and government applications. -
First transistor built
William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain of Bell Laboratories invent the transistor. They discovered how to make an electric switch with solid materials and no need for a vacuum. -

FORTRAN programming language
The FORTRAN programming dialect, an acronym for FORmula TRANslation, is produced by a group of developers at IBM drove by John Backus, as per the University of Michigan. -
Computer Chip
Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce reveal the coordinated circuit, known as the PC chip. Kilby was granted the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2000 for his work. -
Modern Computer
Douglas Engelbart demonstrates a model of the advanced PC, with a mouse and a graphical UI (GUI). This denotes the development of the PC from a particular machine for researchers and mathematicians to innovation that is more available to the over -
Operating system
A gathering of engineers at Bell Labs create UNIX, a working framework that tended to similarity issues. Written in the C programming dialect, UNIX was versatile over different stages and turned into the working arrangement of decision among centralized computers everywhere organizations and government elements. Because of the moderate idea of the framework, it never entirely picked up footing among home PC clients. -
DRAM Chip
The newly formed Intel unveils the Intel 1103, the first Dynamic Access Memory (DRAM) chip. -
Floppy Disk
Alan Shugart leads a team of IBM engineers who invent the "floppy disk," allowing data to be shared among computers. -

Various PCs hit the market, including Scelbi and Mark-8 Altair, IBM 5100, Radio Shack's TRS-80 — lovingly known as the "Junk 80" — and the Commodore PET. -
world's first minicomputer kit to rival commercial models.
The January issue of Popular Electronics magazine includes the Altair 8080, portrayed as the "world's first minicomputer unit to match business models." Two "PC nerds," Paul Allen and Bill Gates, offer to compose programming for the Altair, utilizing the new BASIC dialect. On April 4, after the achievement of this first undertaking, the two youth companions frame their own product organization, Microsoft. -
Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak begin Apple Computers on April Fool's Day and reveal the Apple I, the principal PC with a solitary circuit board, as per Stanford University -
Radio Shack
Radio Shack's underlying creation keep running of the TRS-80 was only 3,000. It sold like there's no tomorrow. Out of the blue, non-nerds could compose projects and influence a PC to do what they wished. -
Spreadsheet program
Accountants rejoice at the introduction of VisiCalc, the first computerized spreadsheet program. -
Word processing
Word preparing turns into a reality as MicroPro International discharges WordStar. "The characterizing change was to include edges and word wrap," said maker Rob Barnaby in email to Mike Petrie in 2000. "Extra changes included disposing of order mode and including a print work. I was the specialized brains — I made sense of how to do it, and did it, and recorded it. " -
first IBM personal computer
The principal IBM PC, code-named "Oak seed," is presented. It utilizes Microsoft's MS-DOS working framework. It has an Intel chip, two floppy circles and a discretionary shading screen. Singes and Roebuck and Computerland offer the machines, denoting the first run through a PC is accessible through outside wholesalers. It likewise advances the term PC. -
first personal computer with a GUI
Mac's Lisa is the main PC with a GUI. It likewise includes a drop-down menu and symbols. It flounders yet in the long run develops into the Macintosh. The Gavilan SC is the principal convenient PC with the natural flip shape factor and the first to be showcased as a "PC." -
