Computer Evolution

The ENIAC was invented by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the UPenn and It occupied about 1,800 square feet and used about 18,000 vacuum tubes, weighing almost 50 ton

Grace Hopper developed the first computer language, which is now known as COBOL.

Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby introduced computer chip to the world, which also earned Kilby the Noble Peace Prize.

Douglas Engelbart invented the computer mouse. He called it the mouse because the cord came out the back like a tail.

Douglas Engelbart makes a computer with a mouse and an actual monitor. Even thought it doesn't have color, these were the computers that evolved into the ones that the common people use today.

IBM's 2315 disk cartridge is announced and it was known to be much more easily movable. These disk cartridges are the reasons we have flash drives today.

The original internet wasn't used very widely because not many people had access to it.

Just like the disk cartridges, Alan Shugart invented the "floppy disk," allowing data to be shared among many different computers.

Microsoft was founded by Paul Allen and Bill Gates on April 4, 1975, to develop and sell BASIC interpreters for the Altair 8800.

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak released the first Apple computer, Apple 1, the first computer with a single-circuit board, which means all the parts of a computer in one body.
