The History of Computers and the Internet

A short history lesson in the history of the world of technology

Please think about the

Innovation Ideas Passion Monetization

SO WHAT IS IT?

1881 Herman Hollerith began designing a machine to tabulate census data

And chad was born

1911 – IBM incorporated as the Tabulating-Recording company

1914 – Thomas Watson Sr. Joins IBM 1915 – THINK 1924 – Name changed to IBM 1937 – IBM tasked for Social

Security

1938 – BRL was formed 1942 - Mauchly and Eckert outline the

concept of an electronic computer 1944 – Construction begins on ENIAC 1945 – ENIAC final assembly

17,468 vacuum tubes Consumed 174,000 watts of power It could multiply 333 ten-digit numbers / second http://ds.haverford.edu/bitbybit/bit-by-bit-

contents/chapter-four/4-8-project-px-and-the-eniac/

1945 – Von Neuman devises an internal memory system (stored program)

1944 – IBM Mark 1 created

1947 AT&T introduced Mobile Telephone Service (MTS) to about 5000 customers In today’s dollars the service was about

$200 / month and $5.00 / call

1948 – Mauchly and Eckert build UNIVAC 1950 – Univac sold to Remington Rand

1952 – IBM 701 was born The first real production

computer

1956 – Tom Watson Sr. dies and installs his son as president

1957 – FORTRAN created by a team of programmers at IBM to work on the IBM 704

1957 – ARPA formed

1959 – COBOL

1960 – Radio Common Carrier Service introduced

1964 – IBM 360 The big chance Many models of a standardized

architecture

1964 – Rand institute makes a proposal for a network that would operate in tatters

1966 – the transistor – actually the integrated circuit

Which got us here!

Which got us here too

1969 – ARPANET 1971 – ARPANET has 15 nodes with 23 hosts 1972 – ARPANET has 37 nodes

1972 – ALOHANET CREATED BY Norm Abramson (Stanford Engineering Professor) CSMA / CD Used low cost radio equipment

1973 – Ethernet

1973 – The handheld mobile phone

1981 – The IBM PC

1982 – ARPANET systems moved from NCP to TCP/IP TCP / IP derived out of the ALOHANET

work 1983 – MILNET formed 1983-1985 – consolidation of UNIX

protocols About 200 network nodes

1984 – NSF forms 56K link to the nation’s supercomputer centers DEC LSI-11s ran Fuzzball routers (TCP / IP)

1984 – Kremvax – the first spam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kremvax http://www.godfatherof.nl/kremvax.html

1986 – Cisco ships the first router

1987 – NSFNet 1987 – UUNET gets all of us on the network

(look at who owned this guys)

1990’s – Privatization 1990 – Archie got files from the

network – a first library of resource No.com yet nor www

1991 – NREN funds DS3 backbone 1991 – Linux created by Linus

Torvalds

1989 – The first outline of the web from Tim Berners-Lee in CERN

1991 – The Web is born in Cern

1992

1993 – About 1.3 million nodes and 10000 networks

1993 – Mosaic released by NCSA

1994

1994 – VocalTec announced Internet telephony and RealAudio (streaming audio) CONVERGENCE

1996 – Toshiba releases the DVD 1998 - XML 1998 – USB was widely adopted

2001 – The first blogs 2003 - Virtualization 2004 – The iPod / and Facebook 2004 – “The ERP hangover

2007 – The Iphone

And iPhones you ask?

2012 - About 17 billion Internet connected devices

2012 – Transfer speeds reaching 186 Gbps (100,000 Blu-ray disks / day)

AND TODAY?

Facebook Users

Current estimates at 1.1 billion users

How Manu Users is That?

SO IT IS

It’s constantly changing and evolving

It allows us to Communicate and share Get work done
