The First MainFrame
The NEAC 2203, an early transistorized computer, was multi-lingual in several respects: both fixed-point and floating point; and both Roman and Japanese characters. It managed Japan's first on-line, real-time reservation system for Kinki Nippon Railways in 1960. There is no exact date. http://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/mainframe-computers/7/166 -
The First SuperComputer
The first Atlas was officially commissioned on 7 December 1962, nearly three years after the Cray CDC 6600 supercomputer was introduced, as one of the world's first supercomputers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_supercomputing -
The First Microcomputer
The first microcomputer was invented by a team led by Bill Pentz at Sacramento State University in 1972. It was called the Sac State 8008. However, other models of the microcomputer were more successful and set off the industry, such as the Altair 8800 and TRS-80.

The First WorkStation
Although it was never sold, the first workstation is considered to be the Xerox Alto, introduced in 1974. The computer was revolutionary for its time and included a fully functional computer, display, and mouse. There is no exact date for when this was first created.

WLANS: Wireless Local Area Networks
WLANS allow users in a local area, such as a university campus or library, to form a network or gain access to the internet. A temporary network can be formed by a small number of users without the need of an access point; given that they do not need access to network resources.In 1991, NCR Corporation with AT&T Corporation invented the precursor to 802.11, intended for use in cashier systems. The first wireless products were under the name WaveLAN. There is no exact date for this. -
WPANS: Wireless Personal Area Networks
The two current technologies for wireless personal area networks are Infra Red (IR) and Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15). These will allow the connectivity of personal devices within an area of about 30 feet. However, IR requires a direct line of site and the range is less.

WMANS: Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks
This technology allows the connection of multiple networks in a metropolitan area such as different buildings in a city, which can be an alternative or backup to laying copper or fiber cabling. There is no exact date for this. http://www.computernetworkingnotes.com/wireless-networking-on-cisco-router/types-of-wireless-networks.html -
WWANS: Wireless Wide Area Networks
These types of networks can be maintained over large areas, such as cities or countries, via multiple satellite systems or antenna sites looked after by an ISP. These types of systems are referred to as 2G (2nd Generation) systems.There is no exact date for this. http://www.computernetworkingnotes.com/wireless-networking-on-cisco-router/types-of-wireless-networks.html -
BlueTooth Headset
The specifications were formalized by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). The SIG was formally announced on 20 May 1998. -
Viruses
