Leonardo Da Vinci
Sketched the first idea for a mechanical computer machine -
John Napier
He published the first Logarithmic table and 10 years later the first Logarithmic computer is created -
Pascaline
French inventor Blaise Pascal
was the first to invent a mechanical computer, it was named after the inventor Pascaline and was used to add and subtract two numbers -
Charles Babbage
English Mathematician who is often referred to in the literature as the father of all computers.He divided the functions of a mechanical computer into three stages: storage, processing and control. He suggested that we split the storage into two containers: one for numbers, that is, where the data is stored and the other for storing instructions -
Analytical machine
The analytical machine was a proposed general-purpose mechanical computer designed by English mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage. It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's various machine, design for a simpler mechanical computer. -
Sorting machine
Herman Hollerith (February 29, 1860 - November 17, 1929), American statistician, inventor of the electric tabulation machine, the first machine to work on punched cards. The machine was used to speed up the process of counting votes in the US. Vote counting was 3 times faster than manual counting. He is considered the initiator of electromechanical data processing. In 1911 he merged his company with Computing Tabulating Recording Co., which later got remamed to IBM -
Reileno računalo Z3 (Kondrad Zuse)
Konrad Zuse (German 22 June 1910 – 18 December 1995) was a German civil engineer, computer scientist, inventor, businessman and computer pioneer. His greatest achievement was the world's first programmable computer; the functional program-controlled Turing-complete Z3 became operational in May 1941. Thanks to this machine and its predecessors, Zuse has often been regarded as the inventor of the modern computer. -
Colossus
Colossus was a set of computers developed by British codebreakers in the years 1943–1945 to help in the cryptanalysis of the Lorenz cipher. Colossus used thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) to perform Boolean and counting operations. Colossus is thus regarded as the world's first programmable, electronic, digital computer, although it was programmed by switches and plugs and not by a stored program. -
ENIAC
ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first electronic general-purpose computer.[3] It was Turing-complete, digital and able to solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming. Although ENIAC was designed and primarily used to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory (which later became a part of the Army Research Laboratory), its first program was a study of the feasibility of the thermonuclear weapon. -
Transistor
A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material usually with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals controls the current through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal. -
UNIVAC
The UNIVAC I (UNIVersal Automatic Computer I) was the first general purpose electronic digital computer design for business application produced in the United States. It was designed principally by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, the inventors of the ENIAC. Design work was started by their company, Eckert–Mauchly Computer Corporation (EMCC), and was completed after the company had been acquired by Remington Rand (which later became part of Sperry, now Unisys). -
Altair 8800
The Altair 8800 is a microcomputer designed in 1974 by MITS. Altair also addressed individuals and companies who just wanted a computer and purchased a compiled version. Altair is widely recognized as the spark that ignited the microcomputer revolution as the first commercially successful PC. The Altair-designed computer bus was to become the de-facto standard in the form of an S-100 bus, and the first programming language for the machine was Microsoft's founding product, Altair BASIC. -
The Apple Computer 1
Apple Computer 1, is a desktop computer released by the Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) in 1976. It was designed and hand-built by Steve Wozniak. The idea of selling the computer came from Wozniak's friend Steve Jobs. The Apple I was Apple's first product, and to finance its creation, Jobs sold his only motorized means of transportation, a VW Microbus, for a few hundred dollars,
however, Wozniak said that Jobs planned to use his bicycle if necessary. -
Commodore64
The Commodore 64, also known as the C64 or the CBM 64, is an 8-bit home computer introduced in January 1982 by Commodore International (first shown at the Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas, January 7–10, 1982). It has been listed in the Guinness World Records as the highest-selling single computer model of all time, with independent estimates placing the number sold between 10 and 17 million units. -
Apple II
The Apple II (stylized as apple ][) is an 8-bit home computer and one of the world's first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products, designed primarily by Steve Wozniak (Steve Jobs oversaw the development of the Apple II's foam-molded plastic case and Rod Holt developed the switching power supply). It was introduced by Jobs and Wozniak at the 1977 West Coast Computer Faire and was the first consumer product sold by Apple Computer, Inc. -
MacBook Pro
The first-generation MacBook Pro is externally similar to the PowerBook G4 it replaced, but uses Intel Core processors instead of PowerPC G4 chips. The 15-inch model was introduced first, in January 2006; the 17-inch model followed in April. Both received several updates and Core 2 Duo processors later in 2006. -
