The History of Computers and the Internet
A short history lesson in the history of the world of technology
Please think about the
Innovation Ideas Passion Monetization
SO WHAT IS IT?
1881 Herman Hollerith began designing a machine to tabulate census data
And chad was born
1911 – IBM incorporated as the Tabulating-Recording company
1914 – Thomas Watson Sr. Joins IBM 1915 – THINK 1924 – Name changed to IBM 1937 – IBM tasked for Social
Security
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/
1945 – Von Neuman devises an internal memory system (stored program)
1944 – IBM Mark 1 created

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
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
1957 – FORTRAN created by a team of programmers at IBM to work on the IBM 704
1957 – ARPA formed
1959 – COBOL
1960 – Radio Common Carrier Service introduced
1964 – IBM 360 The big chance Many models of a standardized
architecture
1964 – Rand institute makes a proposal for a network that would operate in tatters
1966 – the transistor – actually the integrated circuit
Which got us here!
Which got us here too
1969 – ARPANET 1971 – ARPANET has 15 nodes with 23 hosts 1972 – ARPANET has 37 nodes
1972 – ALOHANET CREATED BY Norm Abramson (Stanford Engineering Professor) CSMA / CD Used low cost radio equipment
1973 – Ethernet
1973 – The handheld mobile phone
1981 – The IBM PC
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
1984 – NSF forms 56K link to the nation’s supercomputer centers DEC LSI-11s ran Fuzzball routers (TCP / IP)
1984 – Kremvax – the first spam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kremvax http://www.godfatherof.nl/kremvax.html
1986 – Cisco ships the first router
1987 – NSFNet 1987 – UUNET gets all of us on the network
(look at who owned this guys)
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
1989 – The first outline of the web from Tim Berners-Lee in CERN
1991 – The Web is born in Cern
1992
1993 – About 1.3 million nodes and 10000 networks
1993 – Mosaic released by NCSA
1994
1994 – VocalTec announced Internet telephony and RealAudio (streaming audio) CONVERGENCE
1996 – Toshiba releases the DVD 1998 - XML 1998 – USB was widely adopted
2001 – The first blogs 2003 - Virtualization 2004 – The iPod / and Facebook 2004 – “The ERP hangover
2007 – The Iphone
And iPhones you ask?
2012 - About 17 billion Internet connected devices
2012 – Transfer speeds reaching 186 Gbps (100,000 Blu-ray disks / day)
AND TODAY?
Facebook Users
Current estimates at 1.1 billion users
How Manu Users is That?

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

SO IT IS
It’s constantly changing and evolving
It allows us to Communicate and share Get work done
