When the PC first looking with current developments, like the heavens and the earth, which has been so rapid technological developments and advanced. But that's an important moment in the era of information technology, the precursor to the spread of personal computers around the world.
Well, what about the details behind the birth of the PC its development. Beginning with the presence of Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine in 1837, it signaled the beginning of the development of PC.
Reported HowStuffWorks, Sunday (13/01/2013), the Analytical Engine itself is a great machine-driven by steam. However, this machine unfortunately never made however, the basic concept can be proven that the machines are the forefathers of PC.
In earlier generations of PC development, there are many prominent names who tried to develop it. In addition to developing the technology, in fact, the tool is used to help in the fight here it.
Call it the Konrad Zuse in 1941, is one of the great figures explore the potential of computers owned. Engineers from Germany is building a Z3 computer, and is used to design airplanes and missiles.
Not long after, came the Electronic Numerical Interrogators and Computer (ENIAC), is based on cooperation between the U.S. government and the University of Pennsylvania. ENIAC at the time can be used to help maneuver the artillery.
Second Generation
In the second generation, with the invention of the transistor, growing more distant PC, transistors are used to replace the vacuum tube in televisions, radios, and computers. As a result, the size of the machines were initially large electric now reduced drastically.
This generation shows many significant developments, ranging from IBM to introduce their products IBM 5100 in 1975. This computer has a weight of 50 pounds with a range of 16 and 64 kilobytes of memory.
In 1967 Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs built Apple 1 Computer. With the price of USD666.66, the computer is not equipped with a case, keyboard, and monitor.
This period is closed at Texas Instruments released the TI-owned computer products 99/4, the Chicago Consumer Electronics.
Third Generation
The third generation is the generation with the most rapid development of computers. Starting the presence of Commodore PET (VIV-20) which has a processor for 1MHz, in 1980 with a price of 299 dollars.
Even this generation resign himself shocked by the news of Steve Jobs in 1985, as well as the launch of Apple product called the Macintosh in 1984.
Fourth Generation
The fourth generation which began in the 1990s, worked with him to inform Apple, IBM, and Motorola to create a Mac PowerBook. In 1997, one of the founders of Apple decided to come back again, he is Steve Jobs and make some important decisions to purchase patent rights that had been sold.
In the late 90's, the PC market is divided between two major parts, a Windows-based PCs and Apple computers with Mac operating systems in.
Today, with the presence of many mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, internet that dominates the operating system market. Use of the internet site is dominated by the operating system of Windows, followed by Mac and linux. While mobile devices are in the final sequence.
Below, is a sequence of how the development of the PC from time to time, as reported by indosandster.net.
- 1837 Charles Babbage's "Analytical Engine" of Babbage is the ancestor of the PC. Large machines driven by steam was never built. However, the concept can be proven.
- 1941 Z3 Z3 computer is not the first of Konrad Zuse, but the first computer that works fine.
- 1943 Mark I computer weighing 35 tons is working with electromagnetic components and used until 1959 by the U.S. military.
- 1960 1 DEC PDP a "mini computer" first transistor technology. At that time, PDP 1 suitable for medium-sized offices. And officially produced 55 units.
- 1971 Intel 4004 Breakthroughs in brain PC: The first microprocessor to be mass produced at an economical price. This processor survive for 15 years in a variety of variations.
- 1975 Altair 8800 Altair 8800 was the first home computer available on the market. In 1975, the price reached $ 400.
- 1977 Apple II Simultaneously emerging multiple models for the home PC user, such as the Apple II, Tandy Radio Shack TRS-80 and Commodore
PET 2001. Before long, many PC manufacturers that follow.
- 1978 CHIP In 1978, the first edition of the German magazine CHIP the topic of "sein Jedem Computer" (To Each His Own Computer). CHIP is the oldest in the German magazine PC.
- 1981 IBM 5150 Intel entered the home computer market with the IBM 5150 operating system based on Microsoft MSDOS. This became the beginning of a long collaboration toward a standard.
- 1982 GRiD Compass 1100 PC to mobile. Compass 1100 weighing 5 kg were the ancestors of all notebooks and netbooks. No drives, but is equipped with a modem and a flat screen.
- 1995 Windows 95 System 32 is the first bit of Microsoft proved more successful than the IBM OS / 2. Recipe for success they are multitasking
and compatibility with previous Windows and DOS programs.
- 2007 iPhone with an innovative operating concept and rapidly growing software, Apple is bridging between the mobile phone and mobile internet computer. This device launch success in 2007.
- 2008 Netbook With a simple formula, netbook into "device" is important in the IT market. Inexpensive, lightweight and specifications Slimmer.
- 2020 Quantum Computers Computer based silisium have limitations in terms of dimensions and the heat generated.
