DRAM Chip
The DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) was invented by Robert Dennard in 1970 in his living room in West Chester County, New York. A newly formed Intel unveils the Intel 1103, the first Dynamic Access Memory (DRAM) chip. It changed the evolution of the computer, because as time progressed the DRAM Chip got smaller, faster, and more affordable. It is used in several different things today. Such as: computers, TV's, cash registers. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C_NbeOaUtog -
Micral
Gernelle, Lacombe, Benchetrit and Beckmann were all in the making of the Mircal. The first commercial PC that did not come in a kit and that was also based on a microprocessor, the Intel 8008. In Châtenay-Malabary (a southwestern suburb in Paris, France) Gernelle, Lacombe, Benchetrit and Beckmann worked in a cellar for several hours in order to create the computer in time. Micral was changed as application specific which was developed into operating systems https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micral -
MOS 6502
The MOS 6502 was designed by a small group lead by Chuck Peddle in Norristown, Pensylivannia. It had become popular very quickly, because it was the least expensive full-featured microprocessor on the market. The progeny of the 6502 is still used today, but it is usually used in embedded applications. It is also used in cars and medical equipment such as pacemakers. http://www.visual6502.org -
Apple I
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak cofounded the Apple I. Steve Wozniak was an inventor, electronics engineer, programmer, and technology entrepreneur. It was developed in the bedroom of Steve Wozniak's home on 11161 Crist Drive, Los Altos. The Apple I was the first computer with a single-circuit board. It was also based on the MOStek 6502 chip. If there was not a start of Apple I there most likely would not have the Apple products we have today. http://tinyurl.com/apple1ca -
Commodore
It was introduced by Commodore International as a home computer made in North America. It featured two built-in cassette drives. It also had 8 kilobytes of memory. Also the Commodore brought computers into the home affordably. If the Commodore was not created for home computer use people today would not have home computers today. http://www.commodore.ca -
Apple II
The Apple II was an 8 bit computer primarily designed by Steve Jobs. It was first introduced by Steve Jobs in 1977 at the West Coast Computer Fair. It included several things such as a printed circuit motherboard, brilliant graphics, game paddles, and the computer game "Breakout". This created a change in several personal devices throughout the years, because as the years went on there became more and more computer games and we have computer games today as well. http://tinyurl.com/apple2ca -
Macintosh
The Macintosh was designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. in California as the competitor to the Commodore. However the Macintosh was more expensive. It was the companies first mass-marketed personal computer with a graphical user interface and mouse. It evolved into the introduction of Windows 3.0 and Windows 95. The Macintosh project was envisioned as an easy to use, low cost computer for the average consumer. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2B-XwPjn9YY -
Deskpro 386
The company that made the Deskpro 386 orginated in Harris County, Texas. First desktop to use Intel's 80386 chip that was manufactured by Compaq. It gave the PC as much speed and power as some of the older mainframes and minicomputers. Speed and Power helped the personal computer become faster. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yuIbfx62X5A -
iMac
The iMac had a colored casing it was designed by Jonathon Ive in California. It also had Ethernet and USB connectivity. iMac included a 4 Mbps IrDA (Infrared Data Associations) port. The IrDA lets data transfer from one device to another. The iMac was Apple's turning point for financial ruin. This lead to several different changes with the iMac. It went from a bigger "back" of the computer and smaller screen to a large flat screen like a TV. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LKim7wpi1Lw -
Pentium Microprocessor
The Pentium Microprocessor is a 32-bit microprocessor introduced by Intel. It contains 3.3 million transistors, nearly triple the number contained in its predecessor, the 80486 chip. It advanced to have uses of graphics and music on the personal computer. https://www.britannica.com/technology/Pentium -
Wi-Fi
John O'Sullivan invented Wi-Fi in Australia. This was the first time Wi-Fi became a part of the computing language and this was also when users began connecting to Internet with out wires (wireless). It was developed by Wi-Fi Alliance. It allows personal computer to have internet connect. It has changes the society in several ways. Almost everywhere you go today there is Wi-Fi. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi -
iPhone
The developer was the Apple Inc. At the Macworld Conference & Expo held in Moscone West in San Francisco, California the original/ first generation iPhone was introduced. The iPhone has many computer functions that were brought to the iPhone smartphone. Today we have many other iPhone generations and you see many people with a type iPhone. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_(1st_generation) -
Intel Wireless Future
Intel wireless was created in Califorina. Intel wishes to reduce the amount of wires and have a wire-free future for the PC. In order to do that Intel wants the dependency on little black tubes that shake around and under our desks. With the Intel Wireless it is Wireless so it has changed, because who likes a mess of cords and wires. It has also changed our society, because this is one of the wireless products we have today. http://tinyurl.com/intelwireca -
Augmented Reality
It was created in California. Virtual reality is similar to AR, however AR is very flat and observes the scene and identifies the objects within. A&W will get 100% of experience, unlike current technology that you only get 20-30% of the digital experience. Three basic characteristics of AR: Overlay of Real and Digital world, Real-Time interaction, and Registration and Alignment in 3D This could change the way people do their jobs such as being and working in the army. http://tinyurl.com/h4nxyt9 -
Drone Delivery
A future system of delivery designed by Amazon in California. This could lead to a major change in the society. One of the ways it could change the society is that you get pizza specifically Dominos delivered to your location that is stopping you from getting up and moving around. This could lead to obesity, but companies would be getting more money from their customers. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Le46ERPMlWU
