The Building Blocks of The Web
Floppy Disk
A Floppy Disk is a large magnetic disk encased in plastic that acts as a storage medium for a computer.These removable diskettes were used throughout the 90's but are now not used as much due to new, and more favorable forms of removable storage media such as CDs, DVDs, and compact flash drives.
HTML
HyperText Markup Language is the most basic building block of the Web. It is a type of programming language that described a webpage's layout and makes it a visual page on the internet.
Without this, there would be no web page to look at.
Integrated Circuit
an electronic circuit formed on a small piece of semiconducting material, performing the same function as a larger circuit made from discrete components.
ENIAC
The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer was amongst the first electronic general-purpose computers made. It was used to solve multiple large-number equations at once.
John Vincent Atanasoff
and his assistant
Clifford Berry
were the creators of the first computer.
Microsoft
Windows
Windows is Microsoft's computer operating system with a graphical User Interface.
Apple
iPad
The iPad is a touchscreen device that is used much like a computer, but smaller, and easier to carry without the external keyboard. This really changed people's way of thinking as far as downsizing their electronics.
"Lisa"
The Apple Lisa was the first personal computer to offer a graphical user interface.
iPhone
The iPhone was the first phone with an all-screen display, and digital keyboard as well instead of buttons. The iPhone made way for not only the first all touch-screen phones, but computers, televisions, and tablets as well.

For the most part it got rid of the need for Ethernet Cables, so we don't use them as much as we used to.
DRAM
Dynamic Random-Access Memory is a type of random access memory that stores each bit of data on a sprate capacitor within an integrated circuit.
The Personal Computer
WordStar
WordStar was the first commercially successful word processor application that was most popular in the early to mid 80's
