The first computer
Sometime during this year: Charles Babbage began developing the Difference Engine, it was the first automatic computing engine that was capable of computing several sets of numbers and making a hard copies of the results. Sadly, he was never able to complete a full-scale functional version of this machine. -
Charles Son was Born
Henry was born in 1824. He helped his dad with his computer inventions. Henry tried to continue his father's work and to publicize the engines after Babbage's death. He was at his father's bedside when Babbage died in 1871. -
The second computer idea
Sometime during this year: In the year 1837, Charles Babbage proposed the first general mechanical computer. The Analytical Engine. The Analytical Engine contained an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), which is the basic flow control, and integrated memory. It is the first general-purpose computer concept. Again because of funding issues, this computer was also never built while Charles Babbage's was alive. -

Charles died in 1871 with Henry next to his bedside. -
Henry's Son Completes a porportion of the computer
Sometime in the year, In 1910, Henry Babbage, Charles Babbage's youngest son was able to complete a portion of this machine and was able to perform basic calculations, The Analytical Engine. But Henry was not alive..(Picture of Henry) -
First Programmable Computer
The Z1 was the first programmable computer. Originally created by Germany's Konrad Zuse in his parents living room in 1936 to 1938 is considered to be the first electro-mechanical binary programmable (modern) computer and really the first functional computer. -
The ABC Computer
The ABC computers, short for Atanasoff-Berry Computer, was developed by Professor John Vincent Atanasoff and graduate student Cliff Berry in 1937 It coued to be developed until 1942 at the Iowa State College. The ABC was an electrical computer that used vacuum tubes for digital computation including binary math and Boolean logic and had no CPU, it had to ROM or RAM. -
The First Comercial Computer
In 1942, Konrad Zuse begin working on the Z4, which later became the first commercial computer after being sold to Eduard Stiefel a mathematician of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich on July 12, 1950. -

Intel introduces the first microprocessor, the Intel 4004 on November 15, 1971. -
The first personall computerr
In 1975, Ed Roberts coined the term "personal computer" when he introduced the Altair 8800. The computer relied on a series of switches for inputting data and output data by turning on and off a series of lights. -

Here Comes APPLE!
Steve Wozniak designed the first Apple known as the Apple I computer in 1976. What was the first Apple? The 1st Apple computer that originally sold for $666.66. The computer kit was developed by Steve Wozniak in 1976 and contained a 6502 8-bit processor and 4 kb of memory, Although the Apple had a fully assembled circuit board the kit still required a power supply, display, keyboard, and case to be operational. -
Dell is here!
In 1985, Dell introduced its first computer, the "Turbo PC."
