  1. The History of Computers and the Internet A short history lesson in the history of the world of technology

  2. Please think about the • Innovation • Ideas • Passion • Monetization

  3. SO WHAT IS IT?

  4. 1881 Herman Hollerith began designing a machine to tabulate census data And chad was born

  5. 1911 – IBM incorporated as the Tabulating-Recording company

  6. 1914 – Thomas Watson Sr. Joins IBM • 1915 – THINK • 1924 – Name changed to IBM • 1937 – IBM tasked for Social Security

  7. 1938 – BRL was formed • 1942 - 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 • http://ds.haverford.edu/bitbybit/bit-by-bit-contents/chapter-four/4-8-project-px-and-the-eniac/

  8. 1945 – Von Neuman devises an internal memory system (stored program) • 1944 – IBM Mark 1 created http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2008/08/dayintech_0807

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. 1957 – FORTRAN created by a team of programmers at IBM to work on the IBM 704

  12. 1957 – ARPA formed

  13. 1959 – COBOL

  14. 1960 – Radio Common Carrier Service introduced

  15. 1964 – IBM 360 • The big chance • Many models of a standardized architecture

  16. 1964 – Rand institute makes a proposal for a network that would operate in tatters • 1966 – the transistor – actually the integrated circuit

  17. Which got us here!

  18. Which got us here too

  19. 1969 – ARPANET • 1971 – ARPANET has 15 nodes with 23 hosts • 1972 – ARPANET has 37 nodes

  20. 1972 – ALOHANET CREATED BY Norm Abramson (Stanford Engineering Professor) • CSMA / CD • Used low cost radio equipment

  21. 1973 – Ethernet

  22. 1973 – The handheld mobile phone

  23. 1981 – The IBM PC

  24. 1982 – ARPANET systems moved from NCP to TCP/IP • TCP / IP derived out of the ALOHANET work • 1983 – MILNET formed • 1983-1985 – consolidation of UNIX protocols • About 200 network nodes

  25. 1984 – NSF forms 56K link to the nation’s supercomputer centers • DEC LSI-11s ran Fuzzball routers (TCP / IP)

  26. 1984 – Kremvax – the first spam • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kremvax • http://www.godfatherof.nl/kremvax.html • 1986 – Cisco ships the first router

  27. 1987 – NSFNet • 1987 – UUNET gets all of us on the network (look at who owned this guys)

  28. 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

  29. 1989 – The first outline of the web from Tim Berners-Lee in CERN • 1991 – The Web is born in Cern

  30. 1992

  31. 1993 – About 1.3 million nodes and 10000 networks • 1993 – Mosaic released by NCSA • 1994

  32. 1994 – VocalTec announced Internet telephony and RealAudio (streaming audio) • CONVERGENCE • 1996 – Toshiba releases the DVD • 1998 - XML • 1998 – USB was widely adopted

  33. 2001 – The first blogs • 2003 - Virtualization • 2004 – The iPod / and Facebook • 2004 – “The ERP hangover

  34. 2007 – The Iphone

  35. And iPhones you ask?

  36. 2012 - About 17 billion Internet connected devices • 2012 – Transfer speeds reaching 186 Gbps (100,000 Blu-ray disks / day)

  37. AND TODAY?

  38. Facebook Users • Current estimates at 1.1 billion users

  39. How Manu Users is That? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Internet_usage

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

  41. BIG DATA and REAL TIME DECISIONS • Gapminder.org • http://hanayourworld.testdrivesap.com/yw/ (use chrome)

  42. SO IT IS

  43. It’s constantly changing and evolving • It allows us to • Communicate and share • Get work done
