* 1937 - John V. Atanasoff designed the first digital electronic computer * 1939 - Atanasoff and Clifford Berry demonstrate in Nov. the ABC prototype * 1941 - Konrad Zuse in Germany developed in secret the Z3 * 1943 - In Britain, the Colossus was designed in secret at Bletchley Park to decode German messages * 1944 - Howard Aiken developed the Harvard Mark I mechanical computer for the Navy * 1945 - John W. Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert built ENIAC at U of PA for the U.S. Army * 1946 - Mauchly and Eckert start Electronic Control Co., received grant from National Bureau of Standards to build a ENIAC-type computer with magnetic tape input/output, renamed UNIVAC in 1947 but run out of money, formed in Dec. 1947 the new company Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation (EMCC). * 1948 - Howard Aiken developed the Harvard Mark III electronic computer with 5000 tubes * 1948 - U of Manchester in Britain developed the SSEM Baby electronic computer with CRT memory * 1949 - Mauchly and Eckert in March successfully tested the BINAC stored-program computer for Northrop Aircraft, with Mercury delay line memory and a primitive magentic tape drive; Remington Rand bought EMCC Feb. 1950 and provided funds to finish UNIVAC * 1950- Commander William C. Norris led Engineering Research Associates to develop the Atlas, based on the secret code-breaking computers used by the Navy in WWII; the Atlas was 38 feet long, 20 feet wide, and used 2700 vacuum tubes * 1951 - S. A. Lebedev developed the MESM computer in Russia * 1951 - Remington Rand successfully tested UNIVAC March 30, 1951, and announced to the public its sale to the Census Bureau June 14, 1951, the first commercial computer to feature a magnetic tape storage system, the eight UNISERVO tape drives that stood separate from the CPU and control console on the other side of a garage-size room. Each tape drive was six feet high and three feet wide, used 1/2-inch metal tape of nickel-plated bronze 1200 feet long, recorded data on eight channels at 100 inches per second with a transfer rate of 7,200 characters per second. The complete UNIVAC system weighed 29,000 pounds, included 5200 vacuum tubes, and an offline typewriter-printer UNIPRINTER with an attached metal tape drive. Later, a punched card-to-tape machine was added to read IBM 80-column and Remington Rand 90-column cards. * 1952 - Remington Rand bought the ERA in Dec. 1951 and combined the UNIVAC product line in 1952: the ERA 1101 computer became the UNIVAC 1101. The UNIVAC I was used in November to calculate the presidential election returns and successfully predict the winner, although it was not trusted by the TV networks who refused to use the prediction. * 1954 - The Sage aircraft-warning system was the largest vacuum tube computer system ever built. It began in 1954 at MIT's Lincoln Lab with funding from the Air Force. The first of 23 Direction Centers went online in Nov. 1956, and the last in 1962. Each Center had two 55,000-tube computers built by IBM, MIT, AND Bell Labs. The 275-ton computers known as "Clyde" were based on Jay Forrester's Whirlwind I and had magnetic core memory, magentic drum and magnetic tape storage. The Centers were connected by an early network, and pioneered development of the modem and graphics display.

explain in brief the evolution of the computer
The Aryan race was something made up by German scientists, which they based off of Darwins theory of Evolution. Therefore it cannot have a timeline.

how does the computer and hardware works
Computer hardware is the components that make up a computer. Computer architecture is the model used to combine the Hardware into a working unit.
A computer monitor is hardware. It only provides for display.
Instead of timeline, progression or sequence of events can be used. Other related words are the evolution or development.
