The following is a brief history of computing is a timeline of how computers evolved to the machine we are using today to either surf the internet, play games and a faster way to get the job done. It gives an approximate year of each experts and their job either how computers came about or the co-founders that makes technology a better place today.









1822-Charles babbage conceive a steam-driven calculatting machine
that would be able to compute tables and numbers.

 1890: Herman Hollerith designs a punch card system to calculate the 1880 census, 

 1936: Alan Turing presents the notion of a universal machine, later called the Turing machine, capable of computing anything that is computable. The central concept of the modern computer was based on his ideas. 
 1941: Atanasoff and his graduate student, Clifford Berry, design a computer that can solve 29 equations simultaneously. This marks the first time a computer is able to store information on its main memory. 




1943-1944:  John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert, build the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC). Considered the grandfather of
digital computer





1953: Grace Hopper develops the first computer language, which eventually
becomes known as COBOL .







1976: Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak start Apple Computers on April Fool's Day and roll out the Apple I, the first computer with a single-circuit board.







1996: Sergey Brin and Larry Page develop the Google search engine at Stanford University.








1981:The father of the IBM Personal Computer, Philip Don Estridge is another one of the most important people in computer history.









1984:James Gosling is one of the most important people in technology, because of his invention of the Java programming language

.





1984:Steve Jobs is the co-founder of Apple and guided the company’s growth and direction up until the time of his death.







1989:Tim Berners-Lee is credited with inventing the World Wide Web, which makes up the backbone of the Internet









2004-present: Mark Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook, the popular social networking .


These are the most important people that makes computer a history. Following up each and everyone of their story it makes thing easier to understand. It speaks about what ever technology we are using today and creative idea of these intellegent people.
