First Computer

Personal computers are now commonplace in most homes in the world and depends to a large extent by private individuals and companies. The discovery of this relatively new computer, will appear in our lives a bit late 20th century. The technology to build such a complex system with a powerful, not only before the removal, despite the advances in micro-electronics to create realistic vision of a single computer. Both innovations in electronics, for the integrated circuit, which was produced in 1959 and the microprocessor, which 1971st integrated solution seemed the memory circuit will contract with a managed component, reducing the size of the CPU in a single chip microprocessor .

Electronic revolution in the microprocessor, as we know, the replacement of small silicon chips that can handle thousands of simultaneous calculations, and the need for thousands of independent transistors. Ted Hoff, California, a part of Intel, the microprocessor opens new opportunities for the engine, while the processor itself large streams of data processed can almost intelligent and logical calculations supported.

The first computer systems in use in 1974, published with permission of Micro Instrumentation Telemetry Systems (MITS). Computer called the Altair and retail for less than $ 400. Altair popularity has reached incredible heights, wants to show all samples of this new machine. This leads to a series of other computer companies, or developed by the ambitious young entrepreneur. First known and reputable companies to produce their own computer Tandy Corporation, introduced its own model in 1977. This model has proved a success and became the most popular computers on the market at that time, for two main reasons. This includes the keyboard, should increase, and the CTR, including CRT monitors. Additionally, information can be stored on tape, and are also planned.

Some engineers, Steven Jobs and Stephen Wozniack start your own business, which would be known as Apple Computer. The pair produced the Apple I, a microprocessor, one of the parents house garage Steve Jobs' of all places. Apple I and returned to the public and then sold to fans and amateur electronics. This leads to the formation of Apple Computer, Inc., in April 1977, the Apple II was launched in life, the world's first personal computers. This system is exclusively designed by Apple and the team including the keyboard and the color images in particular. Apple II in Retail $ 1290th

Apple introduces new features in the computer system, expandable memory, hard disk systems, improving data storage, and the color plane. Apple computers in a company that grows the fastest in the history of American companies compete with a company that was founded after the success of Apple.

In 1981, IBM offers models of micro-computer, usually called the IBM PC. The 16-bit microprocessor called desires faster and more powerful processors. In the mid 1980s, many improvements TO THE world of computers. 32-bit machine is disclosed, sufficient to power the benefits of small and medium enterprises in the district show offer.

Usability as an important objective for most computer users and development of the graphical user interface is clearly indicated. GUI, command replaces the complex access requirements, and offers a point of "simple click on" strategies. Douglas Engelbart has an "XY Position Indicator for a Display System" which is actually a "mouse", which clearly still in the modern PC standards. Now the voice recognition software to input the mouse in the league and the computer will continue to speed up the destruction of the earth, interesting ideas for the not too distant future, computers will be open to grow.

The discovery of the computer is clearly one of the most revolutionary invention ever grace the world of business.
