    The History of Computers

    a brief history of computers

  • Konrad Zuse: Konrad Zuse creates the Z1 Computer a binary digital computer using punch tape

    I think this is important because without the design of this computer, then we probably wouldn't have any digital computers.

  • Enigma: Adolf Hitler uses the Enigma encryption machine

    This is important because it helped deliver secret messages, and it is basically the start of type writing.

  • Steve Russell & MITSpacewar Computer Game The first computer game invented.

    This is important because I think that this game led to a lot of variety of different kinds of not just computer games, but also online games.

  • Invention of Internet

    The invention of the internet is of course one of the most important inventions ever because it allows us to have access to billions of things and people worldwide.

  • E-mail: E-mail was invented by Ray Tomlinson

    E-mail is very important because it allowed others to communicate with one another (before social media sites), and it is now used to notify us of bills or important events coming up.

  • Microsoft is a friendly--new competition for Apple.

    Well, to me this invention is important because in my house we only use Microsoft!

  • Adobe joins the destop publishing fray with Postscript

    Adobe has literally-- if not is used in almost anything that has to do with graphics. That's why I thought it was an important invention.

  • There are now about 1000 known computer viruses, up from 5 in 1988

    This invention is important because I just feel that it shows everyone that not everything is safe, and it allowed for their to be buisnesses in protecting computers.

  • Toy Story is the first full-length feature film to be completely computer generated.

    There has never been any computerized movies out there, and Toy Story was the first to do it! This invention was important because it was the start of many great movies to use computer graphics to illistrate films.

  • Apple releases the iMac

    The invention of the iMac is very important because it was the beginning of desktop computers.
