History of the Computer and Internet
Jacquard Loom: a device fitted for a power loom that simplifies the process of manufacturing textiles
It was one of the first programmable machines which lead to programmable computers
IBM (Founding):
Founding of the International Business Machines Corporation
This corporation strongly supported the computer development projects in the 1950s
Microsoft (founding): American technology company that makes computer software - Bill Gates
A major advancement in computers, as it is one of the most popular softwares among computers today
Microsoft Windows: graphical operating systems developed by Microsoft
Helped the advancement of computers, because many computers had this operating system built into it
Apple (founding): American technology company that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and online services - Steve Jobs
Another one of the most popular technological companies in not only the U.S., but also other countries
Apple "Lisa": desktop computer released by Apple; this was one of the first PCs to offer a graphical user interface
Advancement in having the computer in business type settings, because the GUI, was used as a starting point to get to a better and more reasonably priced computer
iPhone: first smartphone made by Apple
Allowed people to access the internet on the go through their hand held device
iPad: tablet made by Apple that allows access to applications and the internet (with WiFi)

Google: technology company specializing in internet-related services
Helped the development of the internet because Google it is one of the single most used websites on the internet
Turing Machine: a mathematical model of a hypothetical computing machine that can use a predefined set of rules to determine a result from input values
This made the fundamental set up of computer programming. (Inputting numbers to get an outcome)
ENIAC: one of the earliest electronic general-purpose computers made (turing complete, it could do numerical problems)
It was one of the first computers, therefore many computers were developed and advanced from this computer
The Personal Computer: digital computer designed for the use of one person at a time
