John Presper Eckert & John W. Mauchly - UNIVAC Computer
They also invented the Univac computer. this computer can pick the presidential winners. The reasearch for the project had proceeded very badly, it was not until 1948 that the design and contract was finalized. The Census Bureau's ceiling for the project was $400,000. -
Konrad Zuse- the Z1 computer
the first freely programable computer. It was a binary electrically driven mechanical calculator with limited programmability, reading instructions from punched tape.The machine was a 22-bit floating point value adder and subtracter, with some control logic making it capable of more complex operations such as multiplication (by repeated additions) and division (by repeated subtractions). -
John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry- the ABC computer
were the first in the computing buisness, it was not always as easy as ABC! used electricity and electronics as the medium for the computer. would use condensors for memory and would use a regenerative or “jogging” process to avoid lapses that might be caused by leakage of power. -
Howard Aiken and Grace Hopper - Harvard Mark 1 computer
The Harvard Mark 1 computer was invented. The lenghth was 51 feet and its height was 80 feet. It was the largest electromechanical calculator ever built and the first automatic digital calculator in the United States. -
John Presper Eckert & John W. Mauchly - the ENIAC 1 Computer
The world's first all electronic computer. It could compute mathmatical things at a breathtaking speed. this was a secret world war 2 project that was carried out by a 32 yr old man named John Mauchly who was also a proffessor at Penn Moore School of Electrical engineering with his lab assistant and genius inventor named John Presper Eckert who was 24. -
John Bardeen, Walter Brattain & Wiliam Shockley - The Transistor
this was not a computer, but it affected the history of computers alot.transistor it was a three terminal, solid state electronic device. this three terminal device we can control electric current or voltage between two of the terminals by applying an electric current or voltage to the third terminal. -
Frederic Williams & Tom Kilburn- the Manchester Baby Computer & The Williams Tube
The Manchester Baby and the Williams Tube turn on the memories. The world's first stored-program electronic digital computer. The bit was stored in the form of a charge on the CRT screen's phosphor, which could be controlled by the electron beam to write a 0 or a 1. -
John Backus & IBM - FORTRAN Computer Programming Language
Was the first successful high level programming language.it was designed to allow easy translation of math formulas into code. an extremely difficult and time consuming task, and the dreadful chore of debugging the code. -
Steve Russell & MIT- Spacewar Computer Game
The first computer game invented. the large-scope display featured interactive, shoot´em-up graphics that inspired future video games.Dueling players fired at each other´s spaceships and used early versions of joysticks to manipulate away from the central gravitational force of a sun as well as from the enemy ship. -
Douglas Engelbart- Computer Mouse & Windows
Nicknamed the mouse because the tail came out the end.the first prototype computer mouse was made to use with a graphical user interface (GUI), 'windows'. a patent for the wooden shell with two metal wheels , describing it in the patent application as an "X-Y position indicator for a display system. -
Alan Shugart &IBM- The "Floppy" Disk
More than five billion were sold per year worldwideThe first floppies were 8-inch disks .Floppies helped enable the PC revolution and the emergence of an independent software industry that now includes more than 10,000 companies. -
Apple I, II & TRS-80 & Commodore Pet Computers
first consumer computers. one of the most popular computers ever. it contains the same processor and runs at the same speed. -
holograms
large-scale holograms, illuminated with lasers or displayed in a darkened room with carefully directed lighting, are incredible.They're two-dimensional surfaces that show absolutely precise, three-dimensional images of real objects. You don't even have to wear special glasses or look through a View-Master to see the images in 3-D. -
surface computing
The goal of surface computing is to recognize touch and objects on the screen's surface and to interact with those objects seamlessly. you shouldn't need a mouse, keyboard or even a USB port connected to the device. includes multi-touch technology. -
iphone 5
they have AirPlay Mirroring, photos, audio,.you can also use your voice to send messages,and set reminders.Its hands-free!
