Technology History Project

  • TX-0-First transistor-based computer

    TX-0-First transistor-based computer
    SourceComputer consists of transistors which memory based on magnetic core store.The top speed was 83 Kops.For easy replacement,designers placed each transistor circuit inside a bottle which similar to a vacuum tube.
  • Fortran-Programming Language

    Fortran-Programming Language
    Sourcea general-purpose, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.It originally developed by IBM in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications.
  • Arpanet-First Internet

    Arpanet-First Internet
    SourceArpanet was the first network and was developed by U.S.
    Department of Denfense.The network eventually turned into today's Internet and used TCP/IP protocol,which we still use today.
  • C-Programming Language

    C-Programming Language
    SourceIt supporting structured programming,lexical variable scope and recursion,while a static type system prevents many unintended operations,C was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 and 1973,
  • Arcnet-First widely network system

    Arcnet-First widely network system
    SourceArcnet was first used to share storage devices.It was developed by principal development engineer John Murphy,Arcnet was later applied to embedded systems where certain features of the protocol are especially useful.
  • Commodore PET-First personal computer

    Commodore PET-First personal computer
    SourcePET came fully assembled and was straightforward to operate and have 4 or 8 kilobytes of memory.Unusually,the keys were directly vertically in columns with each other rather than with lateral offset.
  • C++-Programming Language

    C++-Programming Language
    SourceC++ has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features, while also providing facilities for low-level memory manipulation.It has also been found useful in many other contexts, with key strengths being software infrastructure and resource-constrained applications,
  • Macintosh-First graphic user interface computer

    Macintosh-First graphic user interface computer
    SourceFirst Mass-market personal computer featuring an integral graphic user interface and mouse.Applications that came as a part of the package included MacPaint,which made use of the mouse, and MacWrite.
  • Java-Programming Language

    Java-Programming Language
    SourceA general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.write once, run anywhere.
  • Ethernet-Computer networking

    Ethernet-Computer networking
    SourceThe transmission speed capacity for Ethernet increased from 10 Mbit/s to 100 Mbit/s. Systems communicating over Ethernet divide a stream of data into shorter pieces called frames. Each frame contains source and destination addresses and error-checking data.
  • iMac-All-in-one desktop computer

    iMac-All-in-one desktop computer
    SourceOriginal iMac was the first legacy-free Personal computer.First Macintosh computer to have a USB port but no floppy disk drive.A Fast Ethernet port built in,making the goal of providing a computer for surfing the Internet.
  • Alice-Programming Language

    Alice-Programming Language
    SourceAlice was designed by Saarland University.It provides concurrency features as part of the base language through the use of a “future” type that represents a value being provided by an independent thread of execution.
  • C#-Programming Language

    C#-Programming Language
    Sourcea multi-paradigm programming language encompassing strong typing, imperative,declarative,functional, generic, object-oriented.C# is intended to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.
  • Facebook-Social networking service

    Facebook-Social networking service
    SourceFacebook allows register to add other user as friend,exchange message and post updates with photos.Additionally,user may join common-interest user group organized by workplace, school or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as "People From Work" or "Close Friends".
  • MacBook-Notebook macintosh computer

    MacBook-Notebook macintosh computer
    SourceMacbook mainly for education and consumer market.The first generation equipped with Apple's first Intel Core Duo processor notebook.Macbook was the first notebook to use a glossy screen instead of matte screen.
