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  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 contents/chapter-four/4-8-project-px-and-the- eniac/ 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 eries/news/2008/08/dayintech_0807

 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  – 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  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 networks  1993 – Mosaic released by NCSA  1994

 1994 – VocalTec announced Internet telephony and RealAudio (streaming audio) CONVERGENCE  1996 – Toshiba releases the DVD  XML  1998 – USB was widely adopted

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

 2007 – The Iphone

And iPhones you ask?

 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?

 WHAT IS BIG? Titan at ORNL (Cray XK7)  20 petaflops  ½ million processors

 BIG DATA and REAL TIME DECISIONS Gapminder.org /yw/ (use chrome) /yw/

SO IT IS

 It’s constantly changing and evolving  It allows us to Communicate and share Get work done
