The ENIAC was programmed with plug board and switches. Its speed was 5000 operations per second. It also took up 1000 square feet.
-
The first computers were enoormous, often taking up entire rooms. These computers could solve only one problem at a time because they needed to be physically rewired with cables.
-
It was modified by Sir Frederick Williams of Manchester University. It paints dots and dashes of phosphorescent electrical charge on the screen.
-
The speed is the Selectie Sequence Electronic was 50 multiplications per second. The technology used was 20,000 relays, 12,500 vacuum tubes. The leader of this project is Wallace Eckert
-
It's the first pratical stored-program computer. It used vacuum tubes and its speed was 714 operations per second.
-
It was directed by Alan Turings. It used 800 vacuum tubes. It also took up 12 square feet. The leader of this project was J.H, Wilkinson
-
The second generation of computers, such as the IBM 1401 mainframe were physically smaller, less expensive, more powerful, and more reliable.
-
A programming language. It was used for programming business applications and many more things.
-
IBM's 7000 series mainframes were the company's first transistorized computers. At the top of the line of computers- all of which emerged significantly faster and more dependable than vaccum tube machines- sat the 7030, the "Stretch".
-
The LINC is a Laboratory Instrumentation Computer that was offered the first real timelaboratory data processing. It was designed by Wesely Clark.
-
It's the first successful minicomputer by digital. It's the size of a fridge. It also used transitors and magnetic core memory.
-
IBM developed the real-time computerized ticket reservation system for American airways. It's smaller than SAGE. It's called the SABRE ( Semi-automatic business-related environment)
-
It was a mainframe computer system family. It's consisted of 6 processors and 40 peripheral units.
-
BASIC is a programming language as a tool for the novice programmer. zit allows for awide range of applications, and it has many versions.
-
Integrated circuits marked the begining of this generation such as the IBM system 360 mainframe.
-
The PDP-8 was the first commercially succesful minicomputer. It had spped, was small, and it was a reasonable cost so it went into thousands of manufacturing plants, small businesses and scientific laboratories.
-
This worked with the University of Illinois and built a large parallel processing computer called the ILLIAC IV. this computer did not operate until 1972, but it achieved a computation speed of 200 million instructions per second.
-
Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation built this first for data proccessing applications, also, by using the integrated circuits, Medtronics constructed the first internal pacemaker.
-
David Evans and Ivan Sutherland founded a company to develop a special graphics computer known as a frame buffer. This was a special high-speed memory used for capturing video. The two founders trained a generation of computer graphics pioneers.
-
Intel was founded in 1968 abd is short for Integrated Electronics. The magnetic core memory was replaced buy a microchip during this time, too.
-
The microprocessor contains the core processing capabilities of an entire computer on one single chip
-
Nikalaus Wirth created Pascal, a programming language. Wirth is a Swedish computer scientist. This language was specifically designed to teach concepts of structured programming.
-
The invention of the micro-processor in 1971 ushered in the fourth generation of computers.
-
8008 is an 8 bit processor powerful enough to be used as the CPU of a minicomputer. It was released by Intel.
-
It was developed by MITS. it used the 8-bit Intel 8080 microprocessor and was made avaiable in a complete kit. It contains 256 bytes of RAM
-
It was founded by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. They built a microcomputer motherboard that used a 8-bit processor. The motherboard was a single circuit bord and held 4 kb RAM.
-
It's an email encryption program. Its inventor was Phil Zimmerman. He created it as a tool for people to protect themselves from intrusive governments.
-
It featured ground-breaking special effects done by Industrial Light and Magic. It was the most expensive movie of its time due to computer generating special effects.
-
It was the first commercial software that allowed graphical access to content on the Internet. it was designed by Eric Bina and Marc Andreessen.
-
Fifth generation computers habe no precise classification because experts disagree about its definition.
-
It was introduced by New Tek. It was a video editing and production system for the Amiga line of computers and included custom hardware and special software.
