The first computer
In 1822, Charles Babbage purposed and began developing the Difference Engine, considered to be the first automatic computing engine that was capable of computing several sets of numbers and making a hard copies of the results. Unfortunately, because of funding he was never able to complete a full-scale functional version of this machine. In June of 1991, the London Science Museum completed the Difference Engine No 2 for the bicentennial year of Babbage's birth and later completed the printing me -
Tv
The history of television comprises the work of numerous engineers and inventors in several countries over many decades. The earliest proposal was in 1908, in a paper by A. A. Campbell-Swinton and postulated the use of cathode rays. The first practical demonstrations of television, however, were developed using electromechanical methods to scan, transmit, and reproduce an image. As electronic camera and display tubes were perfected, electromechanical television gave way to all-electronic system -
first rock concert
The term rock concert refers to a musical performance in the style of any one of many genres inspired by "rock and roll" music. While a variety of vocal and instrumental styles can constitute a rock concert, this phenomenon is typically characterized by bands playing at least one electric guitar, an electric bass guitar, and drums. Often, two guitar players share the tasks of rhythm and lead guitar playing. Rock concerts also have a social history which greatly informs the perception of the ling -
The first digital Camera
Digital camera technology is directly related to and evolved from the same technology that recorded television images. In 1951, the first video tape recorder (VTR) captured live images from television cameras by converting the information into electrical impulses (digital) and saving the information onto magnetic tape. Bing Crosby laboratories (the research team funded by Crosby and headed by engineer John Mullin) created the first early VTR and by 1956, VTR technology was perfected (the VR1000 -
The first computer game
William Higinbotham created the first video game ever in 1958. His game, called "Tennis for Two," was created and played on a Brookhaven National Laboratory oscilloscope. In 1962, Steve Russell invented SpaceWar!. Spacewar! was the first game intended for computer use. Russell used a MIT PDP-1 mainframe computer to design his game. -

the first Sat Nav
The first sat nav was made in 1988. Working from a friend's spare bedroom in the Surrey stockbroker suburb of Esher, a circle of friends who met as teenagers and later pioneered a tiny British firm, NextBase, they created the AutoRoute journey planner, a complete digital road map of Britain. -
Fifa
FIFA, also known as FIFA Football or FIFA Soccer, is a series of association football video games, released annually by Electronic Arts under the EA Sports label. While there was no major competition when EA released the first titles in their American football and hockey series, football video games such as Sensible Soccer, Kick Off and Match Day had been developed since the late 1980s and already competitive in the games market when EA Sports announced a football game as the next addition to th -

first drone
June 08--The drone swooped down on the Newport Coast house at 10 a.m. on a recent Friday. For two hours, the remote-controlled, 4-foot-wide "octocopter" dipped and dived, circled and buzzed around the hilltop property at 1 Via Emilia. Instead of firing missiles, however, the eight-prop drone shot high-resolution video and photos. And the agent who deployed the drone doesn't work for the CIA; he's with First Team Real Estate. -
tablet
The tablet computer and the associated special operating software is an example of pen computing technology, and thus the development of tablets has deep historical roots. The depth of these roots can be surprising to people who are only familiar with current commercial products. For example, the first patent for an electronic tablet used for handwriting was granted in 1888.[1] The first patent for a system that recognized handwritten characters by analyzing the handwriting motion was granted i -
the first flying car
The dawn of the flying car is nigh, at least for rich people. A company called Terrafugia has been working to bring the first airborne sedan, the Transition, to the masses since 2006. Yesterday, it announced that it will finally deliver its first unit in 2015. Unfortunately, the clumsy Transition is really nothing like the flying cars humans have fantasized about zipping around in ever since the Jetsons. But Terrafugia also announced that it's working on an alternate model, the TF-X, that is: a -

thinking texting
Texting by thinking In addition to 5G, phones are becoming available with the option of texting by thought power alone.* This is achieved by a sensor-mounted headset worn by the user. The device contains brain-machine interface technology which analyses brain waves, converts them into digital signals and displays the resulting letters on-screen.* Some of the higher end models feature glasses or visors, with displays built into the lenses. This allows completely hands-free texting, effectively -
holographic tv
Holographic TV is going mainstream Breakthroughs in rewritable and erasable systems have made it possible to mass-market the first truly holographic TV displays.* This form of technology has been in development for nearly three decades. One of the main problems encountered was that the displays required a lengthy delay between each "rewrite" - making it impractical for televisual displays. However, recent advances in power transfer have overcome this problem, with displays now capable of runni
