Charles babbage
English mathematician Charles Babbage is credited with having conceived the first automatic digital computer. During the mid-1830s, Babbage developed plans for the Analytical Engine. It was never completed, yet the Analytical Engine would have had most of the basic elements of the present-day computer. -
The first Computer Program
When mathematician, Ada Lovelace published an algorithm to calculate a sequence of Bernoulli numbers, the first computer program is generally dated. This was intended to be carried out by Charles Babbage's Analythical Engine. -
Lovelace's Program
In 1843, mathematician Ada Lovelace, published an algorithm to calculate a sequence of Bernoulli numbers. In other words, what she did was write the world's first machine algorithm for an early computing machine that existed only on paper. When she performed this, the first computer program is generally dated. Ada is known as the world's first computer programmer. -
John von neumann contribution to math
John was a Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, engineer and polymath.He is best known for his work in the early development of computers. In 1932, John published his book "The mathematical Foundations Of Quantum Mechanics" which established a sturdy mathematical framework for quantum physics. He created the field of cellular automata without the aid of computers, constructing the first self-replicating automata with pencil and graph paper. -
Alan Turing
The English mathematician Alan Turing published a paper, "On computable numbers, with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem", which became the foundation of computer Science. Turing presented a theoretical machine that could solve any problem by simple instructions encoded on a paper tape. One of his machines could calculate square roots, and another one could solve Sodoku puzzles. He demonstrated you could construct a single Universal machine that could simulate any Turing Machine. -
Computer mouse
Douglas Engelbart is an American inventor whose work in the 1950's led to his patent for the computer mouse, the development of the basic graphical user interface (GUI). This very first mouse was carved out of wood and had one single button. He is known as the founder of the computer mouse, but also for collaborative software and interactive computing. -
Microsoft Corporation
Bill Gates is an American Computer programmer and entrepreneur who co founded Microsoft Corporation along with childhood friend Paul Allen. Microsoft became the world's largest personal-computer software company. They started Microsoft to develop software for the Altair 8800( an early personal computer). Bill revolutionized the technology industry by personalizing it and created one of the largest monopolies in U.S history. -
Apple Computer
Steve Wozniak is best known for designing Apple's first computers. He completed the basic design of the Apple 1 computer. Him alone designed the hardware, circuit board desings and operating system for the computer. Though he permanently left Apple in 1985, he chose to never remove himself from the official employee list, and continued to represent the company. -
World Wide Web
In 1989, a British Scientist, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web(WWW), an Internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing, while working at CERN( the European Particle Physics Laboratory). He wrote the first web client and server in 1990. The web was originally conceived and developed for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.
