The Evolution of Technology - The History of Computers part 1

Even though the computer is now an important part of human life, there was a time where the computer does not exist. Knowing the history of computers and how much progress can help you understand how complicated and innovative creation of a computer actually is.

Unlike most computer software is one of the discovery of a few who do not have one of the inventors of the year. Throughout the development of a computer, many people have their creations are added to the list of required for the computer. Several different types of computer discovery, and some of them are the components need to be further developed.

Early

Perhaps the most important dates in the history of computers in 1936. It was in this year that the "computer" was first developed. Created by Konrad Zuse and dubbed Z1 computer. If this computer is the first one as it was the first system to be fully programmed. The previous device, but do not have the computing power that sets it apart from other electronics.

It was not until 1942 that any companies see the advantages and opportunities on the computer. The company was first called ABC computers, owned and operated by John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry. Two years later, the Harvard Mark I computer was developed, the promotion of computer science.

In the next few years begin journey inventors around the world to find more in computer science, and how to fix them. The next ten years the introduction of the transistor, which says it is an important part of the inner workings of the computer, the ENIAC computer 1, as well as many this type of system will be.ENIAC 1 is probably one of the most interesting, because it requires 20,000 vacuum tubes to operate. It is a huge machine, and started the revolution to build computers smaller and faster.

Age of computers forever changed by the introduction of International Business Machines or IBM, in the computer industry in 1953. This company, is in the course of the history of computing, a major player in the development of new systems and the server to use both public and private. This brings a real sign of the introduction of the first competition in computing history, that spur faster and better development of the computer help. Their contribution was the first IBM 701 computer EDPM.
