Computer History

The most prevalent parts made of gold are the contacts.

These are the points where expansion cards, memory sticks or anything else connects to the board or jacks (audio, USB, etc.). These contacts are usually plated, so there are only a few microns of gold per board.

But it may be possible as gold is a super conductor so it is used in making register of processor.

The Osborn-1 was hardly a laptop, it weighed ~25 pounds and had to be plugged in to run. I don't know about you but I would have trouble with 25 pounds of computer on my lap and a 5 inch screen shining at my belly instead of my face. It was a luggable tabletop computer.

It is believed that Archimedes invented the analog computer circa 100BC. An example of this was found by fishermen in the early 1900s on a shipwreck.

Charles Babbage invented the digital computer in the 1830s. This machine was mechanical but was never built, mostly because Babbage could not convince anyone to finance it.

John Vincent Atanasoff invented the electronic digital computer in 1937 in an Indiana bar. The machine was complete and operational in early 1942, but saw little use as Atanasoff and his assistant Clifford Berry were soon called away to war related work. The University soon scrapped it to make room for more classrooms, because although it was roughly the size of a desk and on casters it had mistakenly been built too wide to fit through a doorway.

Tommy Flowers invented the programmable electronic digital computer in 1943. Ten of these machines were used at Bletchley Park to break the German high command "fish" cypher.

The inventor of the modern stored program electronic digital computer is unknown and the exact date is unknown, but it was probably sometime in 1944. The idea came up in discussions on Project PX, the WW2 project to build ENIAC, but it was decided not to use it in ENIAC as this would delay construction. John von Neumann is often incorrectly credited with this invention as he wrote the first paper on it, which was prematurely released in draft form before proper credits could be given. The first such computer was not built until 1948 in Manchester, England.

Computers were made to do the very tedious computations of everyday life and business. The first calculators performed computations in seconds that would take someone using a slide rule minutes if not hours to do. Calculations for NASA entry and exit trajectories would take days or even weeks to calculate by hand and the first mainframe computers would do the calculations in minutes. Hope this helps you. cblair91: the first computer was used to crack the german code in world war I and ever scince then they have become famous and then NASA started suing them, later in the line microsoft came in and started making them to sell to houses and industrys.

the first network was made by a Mr.Prentice, in 1992, this is very unusual as he was only born

the computer is important because there is internet and we can search for things

The web was created to make it easier for physics researchers to share data, link to other data, and present it in a uniform way. It is also partly a result of just what a few people thought was fun and interesting to work on.

You may find it very handy to watch The Virtual Revolution, by the BBC. You can find all episodes on Youtube. It talks about the creation of the World Wide Web.

Yes, Babbage invented the first fully automatic programmable digital computer. However his machine was entirely mechanical and he was never able to get supporters or funding to build it.

It took another century before the automatic programmable digital computer was reinvented, but this time it was electronic. The inventor Tommy Flowers, built 11 of them during WW2 between 1944 and 1945 for Bletchley Park to use for breaking the German "tunny" teletype cypher, but these machines were kept classified by the British until the late 1970s so are usually not in the history books. The people that most history books credit for the invention of the modern automatic programmable digital electronic computer worked on ENIAC but it is not known who in this group got the idea first, only that the idea came in early 1945.

ARPANet was the forerunner to the modern internet. After World War II the American Government set up the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). One of their tasks was that they had to design a communications system that would not collapse if part of it was knocked out by a bomb. ARPANet was the result of this, in about 1969. In the following decades more networks were set up and linked together. Common standards between all these systems were agreed upon and in 1989, the internet came into being.

There were so many companies making computers (of all sizes and capabilities) in 1970, and so many people working for them, it is totally impossible to give any answer to this question.

Unless you can provide more specific details that might allow a narrower identification of the topic.

The mathematician John Von Neumann was involved in several key projects. He was a consultant on the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer), designed and constructed at the University of Pennsylvania, which was the world's first general-purpose electronic digital computer. The major credit for the ENIAC however, is generally given to John Mauchly, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, and John Eckert, one of his graduate students. The major drawback of the ENIAC was that it had to be programmed manually by setting switches and plugging and unplugging cables.

The next major advance was the stored-program concept, which is attributed to the ENIAC designers but most especially to von Neumann. The first publication of the idea was in a 1945 proposal by von Neumann for a new computer, the EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Computer). The EDVAC was never built, but in 1946, von Neumann and his colleagues began the design of a new stored-program computer, referred to as the IAS computer, at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies. The IAS computer, although not completed until 1952, is the prototype of all subsequent general-purpose computers. So the answer to your question is that von Neumann, with help from others, invented the concept of the store-program computer and then developed (you could say invented) the IAS computer.

The "computer" part.

Humans have built computers with our understanding of cognitive science. Computers implement a processor, memory for temporary data storage (during processing, caching, etc), and a hard-drive for persistent data. A human brain can store data long term, process information, and temporarily hold small amounts of data for short times while processing the information (e.g. "Carry the 2...").

1. Tommy Flowers designed the Colossus computer for Bletchley Park to crack the German High Command teletype cypher called Tunny. Ten machines were built and used from 1944 to 1945. While never used as a general-purpose electronic digital computer analysis of its design later showed it to have full general -purpose capability. The British kept two of these machines running from 1945 into the 1970s to break Soviet teletype cyphers, so they were not declassified until the 1980s and do not appear in most books on the history of computers.
2. J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly designed the ENIAC for the US Army Ballistics Research Laboratory. One machine was built in 1945. It was designed to be general-purpose and its first real program was to simulate Edward Teller's original hydrogen bomb design called the Classical Super. This job took 2 months to run (December 1945 and January 1946), after which ENIAC was declassified and demonstrated to the public in February 1946 making it the first general-purpose electronic digital computer known to the public.

Because we were still finding out the info for the computers in around about the middle ot thefirst generation and this had been subsequently led to lack of computer constlier to produce commertial infomation

The binary number system is a VERY important system! It is a base 2 system, with only two symbols for numbers. There are very many good websites on the internet about binary numbers, so if you have any questions, there are many good places to look. Just search binary number system or binary numbers! You can find out there!

Nobody, it came from the Latin language and had been used as a job title for people that did calculations for hundreds of years before the programmable electronic digital computer was even first thought of.

Bill Gates has been well known for his invention primarily on the software side of things. He has of course created Microsoft Windows, which started out as a command line operating system, or what many people know as DOS. It then grew into a GUI operating system, and so on and so forth. Bill Gates, early on, created the first spreadsheet program, which later turned into Excel (then the Microsoft Office package), giving Microsoft a foot in the business industry as well.
