History Of Tech Project
-
Computer Publically Introduced
German Konrad Zuse finishes the z3 and publically introduces the computer in berlin. this is the first the world has ever seen of an operating machine able to calculate mathematical problems on its own -
ABC
John Atanasoff successfully tests the ABC which was the first computer to use regenerative capacitor drum memory. -
First Electronic Computer
ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), the first general-purpose electronic digital calculator begins to be constructed. This computer by most is considered to be the first electronic computer. -
1st Programming Language - Konrad Zuse
Zuse describes Plankalkuel, world's first higher-level programming language, containing many standard features of today's programming languages. Zuse also used Plankalkuel to design world's first chess program. -
FORTRAN
Short for FORmula TRANslator, FORTRAN was one of the first programming languages. FORTRAN began being created in 1954 by members of the IBM team, was first introduced to the public October 15, 1956 and is still used today. Below is a brief history of FORTRAN. -
First 64-bit computers - IBM
IBM introduces the 7030 stretch computer. one of the firs 64-bit computers. Project Stretch was 100 to 200 times the power of the 704 -
First IBM Selectric Typewriter
It transformed the speed, accuracy and flexibility with which people could generate the written word, and helped pave the way for the use of typewriter keyboards as the primary method for humans to interact with computers. -
System/360 - IBM
the first of its computers to use interchangeable software and peripheral equipment.Few products in American history have had the massive impact of the IBM.Most significantly, the S/360 ushered in an era of computer compatibility—for the first time, allowing machines across a product line to work with each other. -
Network Hardware - Floppy Disk Drive
The floppy disk drive (FDD) was invented at IBM by Alan Shugart in 1967. The first floppy drives used an 8-inch disk (later called a "diskette" as it got smaller), which evolved into the 5.25-inch disk that was used on the first IBM Personal Computer in August 1981. The 5.25-inch disk held 360 kilobytes compared to the 1.44 megabyte capacity of today's 3.5-inch diskette -
ARPANET
The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was an early packet switching network and the first network to implement the protocol suite TCP/IP. Both technologies became the technical foundation of the Internet -
C++
C++ is a high-level programming language developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs beginning in 1979.
The original title of C++ was "C with classes". -
ARPANET First Major Crash
he network failure resulted from a redundant single-error detecting code that was used for transmission but not storage, and a garbage-collection algorithm for removing old messages that was not resistant to the simultaneous existence of one message with several different time stamps. The combination of the events took the network down for four hours. -
HTML
First developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, HTML is short for HyperText Markup Language. HTML is used to create electronic documents (called pages) that are displayed on the World Wide Web. Each page contains a series of connections to other pages called hyperlinks. Every web page you see on the Internet is written using one version of HTML code or another. -
Java
Originally known as oak, Java is a programming language developed by James Gosling and others at Sun Microsystems. It was first introduced to the public in 1995 and is widely used to create Internet applications and other software programs. Today, Java is maintained and owned by Oracle. -
Google Splits in Two
Google splits into two companies on August 10, 2015. The new company known as Alphabet is now responsible for Google, Nest, Google Capital, Fiber, Calico, Google X, Sidewalk Labs, and Google Ventures
