History of Computers, First Generation, ENIAC
On February 15, 1946, the ENIAC was intoduced. It was invented by John Mauchly and John Eckert. This was the first computer to use electronic valves. It made an impact on the development of technology because it inspired many people to make stored program computers. -
Computer hardware, Memory, Williams Tube
The Williams Tube, was the first RAM developed that was used to store binary memory, Since the electron beam of the CRT could read and write the spots on the tube in any order, memory was random access. I chose this because it was revolutionary, that it could acess memory at random. Inventors Freddie Williams and Tom Kilburn -
History of Computers, Second Generation, Transistors
On December 16, 1947 the transistor was invented by 3 scientists, which took the place of vacuum tubes on computers. This was a very important innovation for the Development of Computer Science because it made computers of its time faster, smaller, cheaper, and more reliable. -
EDSAC
first computer to use assembly language -
History of Computers, First Generation, IAS Computer
The IAS computer was invented at the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton in June, 1952. This was important to the advance of technology because it helped advance the speed of computers, it was one of the fastest of its time. -
History of Computers, Third Generation, IC
The IC, or Integrated Circuit, was invented in 1958 by Jack Kilby. This innovation was important because the IC put three electronic components onto one disc, which allowed computers to become smaller and put multiple components on a single chip, called a semiconductor. -
History of Computers, Second Generation, ATLAS
ATLAS was one of the world's first supercomputers, even though it was still 2nd generation because it used transistors. It was introduced in 1962 by Manchester University. It was important because it helped computers become more powerful, it was one of the most powerful computers of its time. -
BASIC is created at Dartmouth
John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz employ a team at Dartmouth college to create a program for students to have a Time Sharing System -
History of Computers, Third Generation, Operating System
An important innovation to the Development of Computers was the operating system, such as the UNIX. They allowed computers to run multiple programs at once and have a central program that managed the computers memory. -
History of Computers, Fourth Generation, Intel 4004 Chip
After the invention of the IC, inventors were creating more chips to hold more components, which kept making computers smaller and smaller. The Intel 4004 chip, developed in 1971, allowed computers to perform various demands on one chip, instead of having chips manufactured to fit one special purpose.This made computers faster, smaller, more powerful and more efficient. -
Bjarne Stroustrup creates C++
Stroustrup founs that Simula could be helpful for large software development, but was too slow, but BCPL was fast not suitable for large software development -
History of Computers, Fourth Generation, PC
In 1981, IBM intoduced the Personal Computer, or the PC. This computer was able to be used at home, school, or the office. As time went by, computers continued their trend to become smaller. Apple's Mac was in direct competition with IBM's PC. They went from the desktop, to the laptop, to the palmtop. -
