Birth of Technologies • Birth of C’s (Computer’s) 1837 – (Charles Babbage - Father of Computer) Analytical Engine | mechanical computer 1936- (Konrad Zuse ) | Z1 – Computer (First Binary Computer) | mechanical computer 1942 - Atanasoff–Berry Computer (ABC) |first automatic electronic digital computer 1975 - (Ed Roberts)– Altair 8800 | First Micro or Personal Computer – price $750 1976 – Apple –I ( Steve Wozniak) | Micro or Personal Computer – price $666. 1976 to onward – PC’s , Laptop, Notebook, Netbook, Smart Phones, Handheld devices (PDA), Wearable Devices (Such is Google Glass) .

  3. Birth of Technologies Fact: - Internetworking to - Internet • Birth of INTERNET • 1969 - Arpanet ( Advanced Research Projects Agency Network). - A project which began in the Pentagon that year, called Arpanet. - that gave birth to the Internet protocols  • In 1969 ARPANET began with some military computers in the pentagon - Purpose is to survive nuclear attack. ( Wrong Theory) • Building a global Communication Network. (Wrong Theory) • Bob Taylor, the Pentagon official who was in charge of the Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (or Arpanet) program, insists that the purpose was not military, but scientific. (Correct Theory) • Arpanet was about time-sharing. Time sharing tried to make it possible for research institutions to use the processing power of other institutions computers when they had large calculations to do that required more power Modern Example : “Intel’s Progress Thru Processors” (A Facebook App). • 1972, ARPANET Publically demonstrated this system (Network) for the first time in International Computer Communication Conference. (Washington DC) ICANN? 1998 ISP’s?
