the eniac was invented
-
one key event happened one is the patend ENIAC and the second
-
Period: to
first generation
the first computer was invented by:ENIAC or, Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computers was made with vacuum tubes and used magnetic drums for memory -
the era started
-
the very first computer was made called the EDSAC
-
Heinz Nixdorf founded Nixdorf computers corp
-
OCED figures indicated that the end of the period is over
-
Period: to
the second geeration
the computers got a little smaller because they used transistors the computers were smaller faster cheaper more efficient -
the era ended
-
the second generation started
-
a group of engineers founded Didital Equipment corp
-
BIll Norris founded Control Digital Equipment
-
ibm's 7000 series mainframe was made
-
at&t designed its dataphone
-
Fairchild camera and instrument corp invented teh resistor-transistor logic
-
the era ended
-
the second generation ended
-
Period: to
third generation
the development of the integrated circuit was the heart of the generation the transitors were made smaller and put in a silicon chip -
Digital Equipment Corp
introduced the PDP-8, the first commercially successful minicomputer. The PDP-8 sold for $18,000, one-fifth the price of a small IBM 360 mainframe. -
The Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency contracted with the University of Illinois to build a large parallel processing computer
the ILLIAC IV, which did not operate until 1972 at NASA´s Ames Research Center. The first large-scale array computer, the ILLIAC IV achieved a computation speed of 200 million instructions per second, about 300 million operations per second, and 1 billion bits per second of I/O transfer via -
Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corp. built the first standard metal oxide semiconductor product
data processing applications, an eight-bit arithmetic unit and accumulator. In a MOS chip, engineers treat the semiconductor material to produce either of two varieties of transistors, called n-type -
Evans & Sutherland is formed
David Evans and Ivan Sutherland, both professors of computer science, founded a company to develop a special graphics computer known as a frame buffer. This device was a special high-speed memory used for capturing video. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, the two founders trained a generation of computer -
the era ended
-
the third generation started
-
Period: to
fourth generation
The use of the microprocessor in the the single silicon chip. The things that are used GUI's. -
Intel´s 8008 microprocessor made its debut.
a vast improvement over a predecessor its eight- bit word afforded 256 unique arrangements of ones and zeros. -
CP/M
Grary Kildall and John Torode developed microcomputers as for the first operating system. -
the microcomputer
the microprocessor was released in order to make the development possible for microcomputer. -
IBM PCIBM
announced the first personal computer -
apple
apple launched the Macintosh successful. -
Compaq
Compaq and other PC-alone makers developed enhanced industry standards. -
Windows3.0
was released -
yahoo
yahoo was founded. -
the fourth generation ended
-
the fifth generation started
-
Fifth Generation
Smart phones becoming smaller -
Period: to
Fifth Generation
The most high tech of all computers. Right now 2000+ ideas are thought today. people talked about having computers that can think for their self. the main thing in fifth generation is to development voice recognition. -
Fifth Generation
Word 7 will no longer be popular anymore it will be Word 8 -
Fifth Generation
They are coming out with smaller computers and touch screen computers -
Fifth Genration
Ex: the IPads are like a small mini laptop and its wireless so you can get on to any wifi and put it anywhere just about. -
Fifth Generation
Now you are starting to find computers in the newer cars -
ther fifth generation ended
