  • ERA 1101

    ERA 1101
    The first computer that could store and process memory. Also made for high speed processing and could store 6 million bits of storage.

  • Ferranti 1

    Ferranti 1
    First commercial general purpose computer. It was a refinement of the Manchester Mark 1.

  • Las Computer operations

    Las Computer operations
    The computer can do both storing memory and instructing it. It was designed for solving scientific calculations.

  • Grimsdale and webb build early transistorized computer

    Grimsdale and webb build early transistorized computer
    A prototype for the Manchester TC. The 48 bit machine used 92 point contract transistor and 550 diodes.

  • model 701 Electronic data processing machine

    model 701 Electronic data processing machine
    It had a Magnetic data drum allowed faster access to stored information than other drum based computers.

  • Duece

    Duece
    Duece is used for solving not only scientific problems but engineering ones as well. It was also used for a some commercial applications.

  • The direct keyboard input to computers

    The direct keyboard input to computers
    The first time the keyboards were directly inputted into the computers. They were used to punch holes into paper to make documents.

  • DEC PDP-1

    DEC PDP-1
    It includes cathode ray tube graphic display. Only needs one operator and does not need air conditioning.

  • IBM Stretch

    IBM Stretch
    The IBM's 7000 series of mainframe computers are the creators first transistor. These computers had advanced design innovations.

  • Minutemen 1 missile guidance computer

    Minutemen 1 missile guidance computer
    These computers have to be fast in responding to how the missiles flight path is going to head. When the computers were decommissioned they were given to college students.

  • CDC super computer

    CDC super computer
    It can perform up to 3 million every second. Its closest competitor is 3 times less faster than this computer.

  • Hp1126a

    Hp1126a
    Was made for commercial use. Built with many lab instruments. It was used for customers to computerize their products.

  • Augmented reality

    Augmented reality
    This is closely related to virtual reality but instead of showing the 360 virtual world it allows you to create and function over the real world.

  • Perceptual computing

    Perceptual computing
    Its Intel's project to were instead of using your keyboard you may use hand gestures.

  • Intel's wireless future

    Intel's wireless future
    They want to make completely wireless electronics for easy moving and placement
