Computer History

  • Mark 1

    Mark 1
    Henry Aiken constructed the first arithmetic calculator which was able to perform basic calculations.
  • ENIAC

    ENIAC
    Erkert and Mauckly created the ENIAC ,it was the evolution of an electromechanical computer that can be considered the first calculator of the first generation. ENIAC occupied a room of about thirty meters and weighed thirty tons.
  • EDVAC

    EDVAC
    john Von Neumann built the EDVAC, a computer with a memory that can record not only the data on which to operate, but also the instructions for the program to run. For the first time we can talk of a stored program computer. The EDVAC is the basis of all modern computers.
  • IBM 704

    IBM 704
    The IBM 704 realizes a fundamental step as regards the speed and reliability, the main memory was constituted by ferrite cores.
  • UNIVAC

    UNIVAC
    This is the first commercial computer, designed by Erkert and Mauckly programmed directly in machine language.
  • IBM 709

    IBM 709
    For the first time control unit and arithmetic unit are assembled in the CPU and for the communication have been introduced inupu/output channels. The IBM was the first computer to the second generation,.
  • ELEA 9000

    ELEA 9000
    in 1959 the Olivetti produced the first Italian commercial computer.
  • IBM 7090

    IBM 7090
    It was the first computer to use transistors and was five times faster than the IMB 709. Nel IMB 7090 has been used for the first time the system interruptions, to manage the operations of the input / output.
  • IBM/360

    IBM/360
    In 1964, IBM introduces the IBM/360, the first third-generation computers. In IBM/360 for the first time using the integrated circuits using silicon. They are also used auxiliary memories faster and faster, new input/output device, magnetic readers, video terminals and modems.
  • IBM/370

    IBM/370
    The new series of IBM, the IBM/370, is an evolution of IBM/360. This computer is running the OS/370 operating system in which, with the VM / CMS, we introduce the concept of virtual machine.
  • MICROPROCESSOR

    MICROPROCESSOR
    In 1973 was born the microprocessor, A microprocessor is an electronic component that is used by a computer to do its work. It is a central processing unit on a single integrated circuit chip containing millions of very small components including transistors, resistors, and diodes that work together.
  • PERSONAL COMPUTER

    PERSONAL COMPUTER
    In the second half of '70, Steve Jobs created the first personal computer whitch called APPLE. In 1977 born APPLE II, the second personal computer in the world that will have more success.
  • IBM 5150

    IBM 5150
    The IBM Personal Computer is the original version and progenitor of the IBM PC compatible hardware platform. It was created by a team of engineers and designers under the direction of Don Estridge of the IBM Entry Systems Division
  • WINDOWS

    WINDOWS
    Microsoft Windows is a popular operating system software for computers. Windows is made by the Microsoft company. In November 20, 1985 "Microsoft Windows version 1.0" went on sale. Windows makes it easier to run programs (applications) than DOS did. It also helps people keep their files safe and in order.
  • AMIGA

    AMIGA
    The Amiga was a line of personal computers that Commodore International produced during the 1980s and early 1990s. The first Amiga computer, the Amiga 1000, possessed a HAM mode enabled the machine to display 4096 colors, a chip that enabled it to play back four channels of stereo at once, an operating system with multitasking, and a graphical user interface at a time that these features were uncommon or not as developed as Amiga's.
  • LINUX

    LINUX
    Linux or is a free and open source software operating system for computers. The operating system is a collection of the basic instructions that tell the electronic parts of the computer what to do and how to work. Free and open source software (FOSS) means that everyone has the freedom to use it, see how it works, and change it.
