The Development of the First Computer
The very first computer was invented by Charles Babbage in 1821. The "computer" was considered to be very different from the modern computer, as it was a simple error-free calculator. -
The Development of Punch Cards
Hollerith invented and used a punched card device to help analyze the 1890 U.S. census data. His great breakthrough was his use of electricity to read, count and sort punched cards whose holes represented data gathered by the census-takers. -
The Development of the Turing Machine
Turing machine is a term from computer science. A Turing machine is a system of rules, states and transitions rather than a real machine. It was first described in 1936 by English mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing. There are two purposes for a Turing machine: deciding formal languages and solving mathematical functions. Turing machines are one of the most important formal models in the study of computer science. -
The Development of COBOL
In 1959, Hopper played a crucial role in the creation of COBOL, a high-level programming language designed for business applications.

The Development of The World Wide Web
The Web was invented by English computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee while working at CERN.[10][11] He was motivated by the problem of storing, updating, and finding documents and data files in that large and constantly changing organization, as well as distributing them to collaborators outside CERN. -
The Development of Wi-Fi
WiFi was invented and first released for consumers in 1997 when a committee called 802.11 was created. This led to the creation of IEEE802.11, which refers to a set of standards that define communication for wireless local area networks (WLANs). Following this, a basic specification for WiFi was established, allowing two megabytes per second of data transfer wirelessly between devices. -
The Development of the IPhone
On January 9, 2007, Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs unveils the iPhone—a touchscreen mobile phone with an iPod, camera and Web-browsing capabilities, among other features—at the Macworld convention in San Francisco.

The Development of ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a generative artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in 2022. It is currently based on the GPT-4o large language model (LLM). ChatGPT can generate human-like conversational responses and enables users to refine and steer a conversation towards a desired length, format, style, level of detail, and language. It is credited with accelerating the AI boom, which has led to ongoing rapid investment in and public attention to the field of artificial intelligence.
