3) “Turing Machine”
what: mathematical model of computation, it can store (and later recover) sequences of symbols.
proved properties of computation in general—and in particular, the uncomputability of the Entscheidungsproblem ("decision problem")
4) J.V. Atanasoff / Clifford Berry
what: creators
They created the Atanasoff-Berry computer which was the first automatic electronic digital computer. It was designed only to solve systems of linear equations (not programmable, not Turing-complete)
7) Integrated Circuit
what: a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or "chip") of semiconductor material, normally silicon.
The integration of large numbers of tiny transistors into a small chip results in circuits that are orders of magnitude smaller, cheaper, and faster than those constructed of discrete electronic components.
11 )Ethernet
what: a system for connecting a number of computer systems to form a local area network
Over time, Ethernet has largely replaced competing wired LAN technologies
5) ENIAC
What: Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer
one of the first electronic general-purpose computers made. It was Turing-complete, digital and able to solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming
6) COBOL / FORTRAN
what: "common business-oriented language" and "Formula Translation."
computer programming language, widely used.
8) GUI
what: graphical user interface, allows users to interact with electronic devices
allows people to understand, east to use
9) DRAM
what: Dynamic random access memory
used for data or program code that a computer processor needs to function.
10) Floppy Disk
what: a type of disk storage composed of a disk of thin and flexible magnetic storage medium, sealed in a rectangular plastic enclosure lined with fabric that removes dust particles.
was also to store the operating system of a computer.
12) The Personal Computer
what: a multi-purpose computer
feasible for individual use,
13) Microsoft (founding)
what: American multinational technology company
It develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer software, consumer electronics, personal computers, and services.
14) Apple (founding)
what: multinational technology company that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and online services.
world's most valuable technology company
15) VisiCalc / WordStar
what: first spreadsheet computer program
turned the microcomputer from a hobby for computer enthusiasts into a serious business tool
16) Apple “Lisa”
what: desktop computer
one of the first personal computers to offer a graphical user interface in a machine
17) Microsoft Windows
what: a group of several graphical families
