Timeline
Inventor | Invention |
---|---|
Blaise Pascal | Invented a mechanical calculating device called Pascaline 2 sisters, born: June 19, 1623 |
Gottfried Babbage 1792-1871 | Created an invention called Analytical Engine-calculating machine tgat used punched cards to store some information in 1842. Created in 1842. |
Herman Hollerith 1860-1929 | Invented the tabulating machine in 1890. Used electricity instead of gears to perform calculations. He dies from a heart attack in November 17, 1929 |
John Atanasoff 1903-1995 Clifford Berry 1918-1963 | (ABC)(1939) used binary number system used in computers today. Contains 100's of vacuum tubes. |
Mark 1-1944 | Over 51 feet long and weighed over 5 tons, ASCC (automatic sequence controlled calculator) the first large scale automcatic digital computer |
John Mauchly 1907-1980 J. Presper Eckert 1919-1995 | both worked in ENIAC (electrical numerical integration and calculator) in 1946. solves mathematical faster:John Mauchly Originally a military project that was "top secret": J. Presper Eckert |
Alan Turing 1912-1954 | Developed idea of a universal machine in the late 30's and 40's. Called the Turing Machine. The "Enigma" he was proud ot be and wanted to defend his rights. committed suicide, he was a distant runner, Born: December 28,1903 |
Jon von Neumann 1903-1957 | Could dide numbers in his mind at the age f 6. built the EDVAC with Mauchly & Eckert in 1947. Inspired the construction of EDSAC in 1949. |
Transistor | (adapter) invented in 1947 by William Shockley, John bardeen and Walter Britain. one transistor replaced many tubes making computers smaller, less expensive and reliable. |
Grace Murray Hopper 1906-1992 | received 47 honorary awards designed COBOL, a programming language. 1st programmer for mark 1. |
Jack Kilby 1923-2005 | developed the 1st integrated circuit in 1958. invented the 1st hand held calculator. studied electrical engineering. |
William Gates III October 28, 1951 | sounder of Microsoft Corporation Owner of Portland Trail Balzers |
Thomas Knoll John Knoll | Software engineers. creators of Adobe Photoshop 1988. |
Charles Babbage 1792-1871 | analytical egine-calculating machine that used punches cards to store information in 1842. chief collaborator was Ada Bryon 1815-1852 |
Paul Allen Jan. 21, 1951 | Co-founder of Microsoft corporation Owner of Portland Trail Blazers |
AR Panet | 1951 got his PH.D in chicago established: 1969 during cold war purpose: flow into millitary installations, developed top secrets systems and weapon during cold war |
