3.  In 1952, A.S. Douglas wrote his PhD degree at the University of Cambridge on Human- Computer interraction. Douglas created the first graphical computer game - a version of Tic-Tac-Toe. The game was programmed on a EDSAC vaccuum-tube computer, which had a cathode ray tube display.

4.  Today, in the whole world Konrad Zuse almost is unanimosly accepted as the creator / inventor of the first free programmable computer with a binary floating point and switching system, which really worked. This machine – called Z3 was completed in his small workshop in Berlin in 1941. First thoughts konrad Zuse’s about the logical and technical principles are going back to 1934.
