The Pascaline
The Pascaline, also known as the Arithmetic Machine was made between 1642 thruogh 1644. It was made by Blaise Pascal for his father who needed a faster way to calculate numbers, but you could only use addition and subtraction. This was a pre-first generation "computer".

The Analytical Engine
Charles Babbage created this compuyting machine that could not only calculate numbers, but could also print out the infromation needed. This was designed by Babbage and nedded over 1000 peices to assemble. This was the next big thing after the Pascaline. (a pre-1st generation computer.

1941 Bombe
The Bombe was a replica of the Polish "Bomba" and was used during WWII to decrypt Nazi communications. It was designed by Alan Turing and many others, and many were used to improve the Allied intelligence gathering. Pre-computer

The ENIAC is completed
A project three years in the making is complete, and the ENIAC is one of the first computers. It was entire floors big, and used vacuum tubes. The inputs and outputs were in mainly punch cards.

computers
In February, the public got its first glimpse of the ENIAC, a machine built by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert that improved by 1,000 times on the speed of its contemporaries.
Start of project: 1943
Completed: 1946 tom
Programmed: plug board and switches
Speed: 5,000 operations per second
Input/output: cards, lights, switches, plugs
Floor space: 1,000 square feet
Project leaders: John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert. -
ENIAC
It is the first electronic general purpose computer. Although when it released it was supposed to be used for calculating numbers it was instead used for war purposes mainly.

Wilkes with the EDSAC
Maurice Wilkes assembled the EDSAC, the first practical stored-program computer, at Cambridge University. His ideas grew out of the Moore School lectures he had attended three years earlier.
tom
For programming the EDSAC, Wilkes established a library of short programs called subroutines stored on punched paper tapes.
Technology: vacuum tubes
Memory: 1K words, 17 bits, mercury delay line
Speed: 714 operations per second -
Pilot ACE
This computer was started in 1948, it was offically completed in 1950, This computer was used for cauculating things very well. MADDIE PAGE (MADELYN) -
Silicon Transistors are introduced
The first silicon transistors are introduced in 1954 as a replacement for vacuum tubes. They brought down the cost of components and made computer processing faster.

Components
Felker and Harris program TRADIC, AT&T Bell Laboratories announced the first fully transistorized computer, TRADIC. It contained nearly 800 transistors instead of vacuum tubes. Transistors — completely cold, highly efficient amplifying devices invented at Bell Labs — enabled the machine to operate on fewer than 100 watts, or one-twentieth the power required by comparable vacuum tube computers.tom -
Robots & Artificial Intelligence
SRI International´s Shakey was the first robot controlled by artificial intelligence.It is equipedwith sensing devices and driven by a problem-solving program called STRIPS, the robot rolled around the halls of SRI by applying information about its surroundings to finda route. Shakey used a TV camera, laser range finder, and bump sensors to collect data.

PDP-1 computer is made
The PDP-1 was one of the first computers to have a screen for output. It was still very large, and used silicon transistors. On this computer, the first video game, SpaceWar! was created. This set the path for the creation of video games.

spacewar!
SPACEWAR! is one of the first games to come out on the computer PDP-1 it is a two player game where the payers pilot a ship each and try to destry each other while avoiding a black hole in the middle.

Third Generation
Semiconductors were introduced. Instead of punch cards and printouts there were now monitors and keyboards to be used for the input of information. Computers were now accessible to a lot of people.

MIT Altair 8800
Was considered the first "personal" computer and was mail ordered. Kits were sold to hobbyist so they could build it themselves, but many businesses and people wanted a personal computer and would buy them already pre-made. It saved MIT from going bankrupt and also ignited the flame of the microcomputer revolution. 3rd generation
