Charles Babbage
The analytical engine was a proposed digital mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage. It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's Difference Engine, which was a design for a simpler mechanical calculator. -
Hollerith Punchcard
Hollerith invented and used a punched card device to help analyze the 1890 U.S. census data. His great breakthrough was his use of electricity to read, count and sort punched cards whose holes represented data gathered by the census-takers. In 1881, Herman Hollerith began designing a machine to tabulate census data more efficiently than by traditional hand methods. -
Turning
Alan Turing invented the universal Turing machine, an abstract computing machine that encapsulates the fundamental logical principles of the digital computer in 1936. He was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer -
HP
HP, one of the world's first computing and technology companies, was founded in 1938 by two friends from Stanford University, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard become friends when they bond over a two-week camping trip. The company initially developed desktop computers for businesses and later expanded to offer computers for consumers -
Grace hopper COBOL
In 1959, Hopper played a crucial role in the creation of COBOL, a high-level programming language designed for business applications. COBOL was based on Hopper's earlier work on FLOW-MATIC, which was the first English-like data-processing language. COBOL's syntax was designed to be readable by humans, making it easier for businesses to adopt and use. -
GUI
Douglas Engelbart, an American inventor, led to the development of the basic graphical user interface (GUI). His work in the 1950s also led to the patent for the computer mouse and the creation of groupware. In 1968, Engelbart introduced several devices and computing concepts, including a mouse-controlled GUI, videoconferencing, and hypertext -
Apple Computer
Steve Wozniak demonstrated the first Apple Computer that he designed and hand-built at the Homebrew Computer Club in Menlo Park, California in April 1 1976. The computer became known retrospectively as the Apple I. Wozniak's friend Steve Jobs had the idea of manufacturing the computer for sale. -
Windows
Windows was first developed by Microsoft in 1981 under the name "Interface Manager". It was announced in November 1983 under the name "Windows", but Windows 1.0 was not released until November 1985. -
WiFi
WiFi was invented in the 1990s by a team of engineers at the University of Hawaii, led by John O’Sullivan. The team developed a set of standards called IEEE 802.11, which defines communication for wireless local area networks (WLANs)2 -
Tim Berners Lee
Tim Berners-Lee (born June 8, 1955, London, England) is a British computer scientist, generally credited as the inventor of the World Wide Web. After graduating in 1976 from the University of Oxford, Berners-Lee designed computer software for two years at Plessey Telecommunications Ltd. From 1991 to 1993 Berners-Lee evangelized the Web. In 1994 in the United States he established the World Wide Web (W3) Consortium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Laboratory for Computer Science. -
iPhone
The iPhone was created by a team of engineers and designers at Apple Inc., led by Steve Jobs, the company's co-founder and former CEO. It was first released in the United States in 2007 -
Chromebook
The Chromebook was created by Google in partnership with Acer and Samsung. The first Chromebooks were announced at the Google I/O conference in May 2011 and began shipping on June 15, 2011. The idea behind the Chromebook was to create a cloud-first experience that was fast, secure, and easy to use, with software that stays up-to-date automatically -
Apple Watch
Apple’s journey to reinvent the watch began long before the public knew. The design team, led by Jony Ive, sought to create a watch that extended the iOS experience. Apple announced the Apple Watch in September 2014 during a press event. CEO Tim Cook unveiled it alongside the iPhone 6. The device was Apple’s first new product since Steve Jobs, -
