Extractions: Below is a list of famous people and computers in the history of computing. The list is divided into five categories or generations based on the type of technology used in the construction of the computers or computing devices. Up until the outbreak of the Second World War, computing devices were mechanical or electro-mechanical. The first "known" mechanical calculator (aside from the abacus) was Wilhelm Schickard's "Calculating Clock" (1623). This device was lost early on so for many years it was believed that a calculator invented by Blaise Pascal in 1642 was the first mechanical calculator. Pascal's Pascaline could only add and subtract and although Pascal tried to market his invention, its high cost and technical unreliability did not make it a "best seller". Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz also invented a calculator, one that could also multiply (using repeated addition). Again, the technology of the time did not make for a reliable device although Liebniz's ideas were basically sound. Charlies Babbage, a 19th century "polymath" devised a calculating machine, the Difference Engine I (1823) which could be used to mechanically generate mathematical tables. He even obtained funding from the British government to build it. Unfortunately, the machine was never completed partly because of the technological diffculties inherent in constructing so complex a mechanical device and perhaps partly due to Babbage's becoming interested in buildling a more ambituous calculating machine, the Analytic Engine (also never constructed). The Analytic Engine was essentially a general purpose calculating device. It had a "store" which could store numbers and a "mill" which would perform a sequence of calculations. A friend of his, Augusta Ada Byron, later the Countess of Lovelace, became interested in Babbage's work and did much to popularize his device. She even wrote a "program" for the Analytic Engine and thus she is considered to be the first computer programmer.

Chronology Of Personal Computers
Timeline of microcomputers from the development of the microprocessor in the 1960s through to the present day. Includes hardware, software, peripherals, companies, and individuals.
http://www.islandnet.com/~kpolsson/comphist/

Extractions: This document is an attempt to bring various published sources together to present a timeline about Personal Computers. This web document is a sneak peek at a book project of mine. Since 1994, I have browsed over 1000 sources for date information related to personal computers. This brief summary includes many of the essential happenings that shaped the industry. The full text contains close to 3000 entries. I have tried to keep it open-minded and unbiased, but the annoying fact is that "the winners write the history books". NOTE: The complete timeline is not available for free on the Web. The start of the timeline is presented here to show you the quality of the material. The complete detailed timeline emailed in a document file can be purchased for $20 from the author.

History Of Computing Science: Computer History From The Past
An overview of the developments that allowed the modern day computer to arise from first principles.
http://www.eingang.org/Lecture/

Extractions: Next Welcome to Calypso's Lecture Series for CS-100. The first (and only) lecture in the series is about the history of computing from the past to the present. This offers the student or casual browser an overview of the advances in science that made desktop computers possible starting with the invention of counting. This lecture was originally given in the fall of 1994 at the University of Regina (Regina, Canada) for 400 CS-100 students. CS-100 is an introductory course designed primarily for students from other disciplines. It was not intended for the computing science major student. As such, this material was geared to appeal to those students. Michelle A. Hoyle Future additions to the lecture include a section discussing the impact of business microcomputers and mainframes to the history of computing. Teachers , this lecture is available to be used on a standalone machine in a classroom. Drop me some mail if you would like a copy for use in a classroom, museum, or kiosk.
