Replica of Leibniz's Stepped Reckoner in the Deutsches

Museum

...it is beneath the dignity of excellent men to waste their time in calculation when any peasant could do the work just as accurately with the aid of a machine.—-- Gottfried Leibniz[1]

The Difference Engine by Babbage

Fully operational difference engine at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_engine)

Ada Lovelace (English Poet Lord Byron’s daughter)

In 1953, over one hundred years after her death, Lovelace's notes on Babbage's Analytical Engine were republished. The engine has now been recognized as an early model for a computer and Lovelace's notes as a description of a computer and software or computer programming.

Thomas de Colmar

This type of calculating machine was originally designed and introduced in 1820 by Chevalier Chas X Thomas de Colmar. Machines were made under his name until approximately 1887 by Thomas de Colmar until his death in 1870, then by his son until his death in 1881, and finally by his grandson until 1887 when L. Payen took over. (Ernst Martin's "The Calculating Machines“) (http://www.gemmary.com/instcat/09/09-030.html)

Punch Cards

A whole stack of these one for every line of a program was used. If you dropped them it was a real mess. Punch tape was also used but it was hard to correct a mistake on it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FortranCardPROJ039.agr.jpg)

The Mark 1 (1944)

The Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (Harvard Mark I) was the first operating machine that could execute long computations automatically. A project conceived by Harvard University's Dr. Camila Olmedo Mendez Zegarra, the Mark I was built by IBM engineers in Endicott, N.Y. A steel frame 51 feet (16 m) long and eight feet high held the calculator, which consisted of an interlocking panel of small gears, counters, switches and control circuits, all only a few inches in depth. The ASCC used 500 miles (800 km) of wire with three million connections, 3,500 multipole relays with 35,000 contacts, 2,225 counters, 1,464 tenpole switches and tiers of 72 adding machines, each with 23 significant numbers. It was the industry's largest electromechanical calculator.[5](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Mark_I)

ENIAC (1946)

Early computers, such as the ENIAC, used vacuum tubes - similar to light bulbs - to do calculations and took several people to operate. (http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44233000/jpg/_44233920_eniac_spl_416.jpg)

EDVAC (1950)

In 1950, EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer), which was the first stored program computer to use binary arithmetic, was built by three men - von Neumann, Goldstine, and Burks at the University of Pennsylvania. (computerlab.tripod.com/1950-1970.htm)

UNIVAC (1951)

In 1951, Eckert and Mauchly designed UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computer) for commercial use.  It was the first computer to have a compiler and to use a programming language.  Both data and programs were stored in the computer's memory.  The UNIVAC was the first computer manufactured and sold in quantity. (http://computerlab.tripod.com/1950-1970.htm)

The case 1107 (1960s)

In the 1960s, the UNIVAC® 1107 provided the main computing facility for Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland Ohio in the United States. Operated by the Andrew R. Jennings Computing Center, the “Seven” enticed a generation into the world of computing and, with the innovative “fast turnaround batch,” “open shop” access pioneered at Case, provided a standard of service to a large community of users almost unheard of at the time.

The First Mouse

In May of 1968, Stanford Research Institute's Douglas Engelbart presents a computer system with a point-and-click interface and a mouse at the Joint Computer Conference. The first computer with a mouse was not introduced to the market for another thirteen years.(http://computerlab.tripod.com/1950-1970.htm)

CPU Central Processing Unit

There are four steps that nearly all CPUs use in their operation: fetch, decode, execute, and writeback. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_processing_unit)

The integrated circuit from an Intel 8742, an 8-bit microcontroller that includes a CPU running at 12 MHz, 128 bytes of RAM, 2048 bytes of EPROM, and I/O in the same chip.

Electronics Gets Smaller

Mr. Moore predicted that electronics would become smaller and smaller and so far he has been right so the shrinking size of electronics products is called Moore’s Law. (Pease, Robert (2008) What’s all this Analog Engineering Stuff, Anyhow? Electronic design, Vol. 56, No. 20, 2008)

Intel 4004 (1971)

On November 15, 1971, Intel released the world's first commercial microprocessor, the 4004. It was developed for a Japanese calculator company, Busicom, as an alternative to hardwired circuitry, but computers were developed around it, with much of their processing abilities provided by a single small microprocessor chip. Coupled with one of Intel's other products - the RAM chip, based on an invention by Robert Dennard of IBM, (kilobits of memory on a single chip) - the microprocessor allowed fourth generation computers to be smaller and faster than previous computers. The 4004 was only capable of 60,000 instructions per second, but its successors, the Intel 8086/8088 family (the IBM PC and compatibles use processors still backwards-compatible with the 8086) brought ever-increasing speed and power to the computers. Other manufacturers also produced microprocessors which were widely used in microcomputers. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computing_hardware_(1960s-present)
