See Online Courses Search Inventors The History of Computers "Who invented the computer?" is not a question with a simple answer. The real answer is that many inventors contributed to the history of computers and that a computer is a complex piece of machinery made up of many parts, each of which can be considered a separate invention. This series covers many of the major milestones in computer history (but not all of them) with a concentration on the history of personal home computers.

The History Of Computers During My Lifetime - The 1980's by Jason Patterson jason@pattosoft.com.au The Commodore VIC-20 Riding on the success of the PET, Commodore drove its engineers to make computers that anyone could afford. The 6502 based VIC-20, introduced in 1981, was the first color computer that cost under $300. It was also the first computer to sell one million units. VIC-20 production hit 9000 units per day - a rate that was absolutely phenomenal back then. While shortsighted critics kept asking what these machines were good for, Commodore was the first company to introduce millions of people to personal computing. The First Portable Computer - The Osborne 1 Adam Osborne sold Osborne Books to McGraw-Hill and started Osborne Computer. Its first product, the 24 pound Osborne 1 "portable", cost $1795. The Osborne 1 was easily identified by its tiny built-in screen. Osborne also started the practice of bundling software with the computer - the Osborne 1 came with nearly $1500 worth of programs! Unfortunately Osborne went bankrupt when it preannounced its next computer while still trying to sell the Osborne 1. The IBM PC In 1981, the landmark announcement of the IBM PC stunned the computing world. People had always thought of IBM as a high end mainframe player. Even the chairman of IBM is supposed to have looked at the original PC and said that it would never fly - that mainframes would dominate forever.

Next Mans progress is measured by the sophistication of his tools. First, he discovered how to control fire. Eventually he invented the wheel. He built boats and learned to harness the wind. As soon as commerce developed in early societies, people recognized the need to calculate and to keep track of information. They soon devised simple computing devices and bookkeeping systems to enable them to add, subtract, and record simple transactions. Today, we are witnessing rapid technological changes taking place on a broad scale. However, many centuries elapsed before technology was sufficiently advanced to develop computers. Without computers, many technological achievements of the past decade would not have been possible. Let us now look closely into the development of computers.

The History of Computers These pages will give you a short overview of the History of Computers. The development from the most primitive calculating aids, to modern supercomputers can be seen as a series of major discoveries. In this document, we have tried to show how this process took place. The biggest trouble with this project was to find a starting point. Did the History of Computers start with the first mechanical calculating machine (arguably the abacus) or were Babbage's machines the basis of all modern computers? What about software, operating systems, programming languages and so on? It is obvious that we couldn't cover all possible aspects that led to today's computers that let us surf the Internet. And of course, some of the information given in these pages may be incomplete or inaccurate. If you have any comments or additional information about these pages, please let us know. Information or questions concerning the project should be sent to our teacher, Mr T. S. Wynne

20. Computer History An illustrated history of computers with over 50 rare photos. http://www.computersciencelab.com/ComputerHistory/History.htm

Computer Science Lab An Illustrated History of Computers Part 1 The first computers were people! That is, electronic computers (and the earlier mechanical computers) were given this name because they performed the work that had previously been assigned to people. "Computer" was originally a job title: it was used to describe those human beings (predominantly women) whose job it was to perform the repetitive calculations required to compute such things as navigational tables, tide charts, and planetary positions for astronomical almanacs. Imagine you had a job where hour after hour, day after day, you were to do nothing but compute multiplications. Boredom would quickly set in, leading to carelessness, leading to mistakes. And even on your best days you wouldn't be producing answers very fast. Therefore, inventors have been searching for hundreds of years for a way to mechanize (that is, find a mechanism that can perform) this task. This picture shows what were known as "counting tables" [photo courtesy IBM]
