Computer development

1. In 1890, Herman Hollerith developed a method for
machines to record and store information onto
punch cards to be used for the US census. He later
formed the company we know as IBM
(International Business Machines) today.
The Z1 originally created by Germany's Konrad Zuse
in 1936 to 1938 is considered to be the first
electrical binary programmable computer.

2. • In 1946, John Mauchly and John Presper
Eckert developed the ENIAC I (Electrical
Numerical Integrator And Calculator).1st
type of Computer

Shockley, and Walter Brattain, at the
Bell Telephone Laboratories invented
Transistor

3. • The first computer company was the
Electronic Controls Company and
was founded in 1949 by J. Presper
Eckert and John Mauchly, the same
individuals who helped create the
ENIAC computer.

4. • In 1951 First commercial computer or
Universal Automatic Computer or
UNIVAC was developed by John Presper
Eckert & John W. Mauchly.
• Remington Rand became the first
American manufacturers of a commercial
computer system. It sold Forty-six
UNIVAC computers

5. • FORTRAN or formula translation was the
first high level programming language
(software) invented by John Backus for IBM
in 1954.
• In 1953 Grace Hopper invented the first
high-level language, "Flow-matic". This
language eventually became COBOL.
• Grace Hopper also constructed the world's
first compiler or A high-level language

6. • Developed in 1955 at Stanford Research
Institute, Bank of America, and General
Electric
 ERMA (Electronic Recording Method
of Accounting computer processing
system) and
 MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) ;
• The first bank industry computer . An
effort to computerize the banking
industry

7. • In 1958 Jack Kilby & Robert Noyce
invented The Integrated Circuit
(IC) OR CHIP
• in 1962 Steve Russell created the
first popular computer game.
Starwar
• In 1964 Douglas Engelbart
invented the computer mouse

8. •In 1965 James Russell invented the
Compact Disk or CD
• in 1969 ARPAnet - The First Internet
was developed.

9. • In November, 1971, Intel company
introduced the world's first single
chip microprocessor, the Intel 4004
invented by Intel engineers Federico
Faggin, Ted Hoff, and Stanley Mazor.

10. • In 1971, IBM introduced the first
"memory disk", or the "floppy
disk“ . Invented by IBM engineers
led by Alan Shugart.

released on September 1975.

11. • In 1981, IBM created its first
personal home-use computer called
the IBM PC

computer spreadsheet program. It was
released to the public in 1979, running on
an Apple IIcomputer.

13. • In 1976, the inkjet printer was invented,
• In 1938, Chester Carlson invented a dry
printing process called
electrophotography commonly called a
Xerox
• The original laser printer called EARS was
developed at the Xerox Palo Alto
Research Center beginning in 1969 and
completed in November, 1971.

14. • First 3D game, The game Duke Nukem 3D
is released January 29, 1996.
• Java is a programming language and
environment invented by James Gosling
and others in 1994. Java was originally
