  • Zuse Z3 computer

    Zuse Z3 computer
    The Z3, an early computer built by German engineer Konrad Zuse working in complete isolation from developments elsewhere, uses 2,300 relays, performs floating point binary arithmetic, and has a 22-bit word length. The Z3 was used for aerodynamic calculations but was destroyed in a bombing raid on Berlin in late 1943. Zuse later supervised a reconstruction of the Z3 in the 1960s, which is currently on display at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. http://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/computers/

  • ERA 1101

    ERA 1101
    One of the first commercially produced computers, the company´s first customer was the US Navy. The 1101, designed by ERA but built by Remington-Rand, was intended for high-speed computing and stored 1 million bits on its magnetic drum, one of the earliest magnetic storage devices and a technology which ERA had done much to perfect in its own laboratories.

  • DEC PDP-1

    DEC PDP-1
    The typical PDP-1 computer system, which sells for about $120,000, includes a cathode ray tube graphic display, paper tape input/output, needs no air conditioning and requires only one operator; all of which become standards for minicomputers. Its large scope intrigued early hackers at MIT, who wrote the first computerized video game, SpaceWar!, as well as programs to play music. More than 50 PDP-1s were sold. http://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/computers/

  • SABRE

    SABRE
    Online transaction processing makes its debut in IBM´s SABRE reservation system, set up for American Airlines. Using telephone lines, SABRE links 2,000 terminals in 65 cities to a pair of IBM 7090 computers, delivering data on any flight in less than three seconds. It remains the basis of modern travel sites including Travelocity. SABRE has been adapted from IBM's earlier work on SAGE. http://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/networking-the-web/

  • Carterfone

    Carterfone
    Used by Texas oilmen, the Carterfone acoustically connects mobile radios to the telephone network. Phone companies sue in 1966. The FCC supports Carter, freeing U.S. telephone lines for many uses, answering machines, faxes and modems. Users in some countries will wait until the 1990s for similar freedoms. Modems create a kind of de facto net neutrality telephone companies have no control over what is sent over their lines with a modem.

  • HP-35

    HP-35
    Marketed as “a fast, extremely accurate electronic slide rule” with a solid-state memory similar to that of a computer, the HP-35 distinguished itself from its competitors by its ability to perform a broad variety of logarithmic and trigonometric functions, to store more intermediate solutions for later use, and to accept and display entries in a form similar to standard scientific notation. http://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/computers/

  • First mobile phone

    First mobile phone
    Enabling technology for mobile phones was first developed in the 1940s but it was not until the mid 1980s that they became widely available. By 2011, it was estimated in the United Kingdom that more calls were made using mobile phones than wired devices. Created by Martin Cooper. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mobile_phones

  • Commodore VIC-20

    Commodore VIC-20
    Commodore releases the VIC-20 home computer as the successor to the Commodore PET personal computer. Intended to be a less expensive alternative to the PET, the VIC-20 was highly successful, becoming the first computer to sell more than a million units. Commodore even used Star Trek television star William Shatner in advertisements. http://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/computers/
