समयसीमा : कम्प्यूटर का इतिहास

कंप्यूटर शब्द की उत्पति अंग्रेज़ी भाषा के कम्प्यूट शब्द से हुई है जिसका अर्थ है गणना करना अतः कम्प्यूटर का विकास गणितीय गणनाओं के उद्देश्य की पूर्ति के लिए किया गया है।
कंप्यूटर के इतिहास को समझने हेतु यह टाइमलाइन अत्यंत उपयोगी होगी।
Basic timeline of the history of computers, focusing on key milestones and developments leading up to the modern electronic computers.
Abacus (c. 3000 BC): One of the earliest known computing devices.
Pascaline (1642): Invented by Blaise Pascal, it could perform addition and subtraction.
Charles Babbage's Difference Engine (1822) and Analytical Engine (1837): Early mechanical computers with general-purpose capabilities, although never fully built in their time.
Herman Hollerith's Tabulating Machine (1890): Used punched cards to process data and was foundational for early data processing.
Z3 (1941): Designed by Konrad Zuse, it was one of the earliest electromechanical computers.
Colossus (1943): Developed by British codebreakers during WWII, it was the world's first programmable digital computer..
ENIAC (1945): The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer was the first general-purpose, fully electronic digital computer.
UNIVAC I (1951): The Universal Automatic Computer, the first commercially produced computer.
Invention of the Transistor (1947): By John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley at Bell Labs, revolutionizing electronics and computer design.
IBM 305 RAMAC (1956): Introduced the first hard disk drive, improving data storage.
IBM System/360 (1964): Introduced compatibility across different models, setting industry standards.
COBOL (1959) and FORTRAN (1957): Early high-level programming languages.
ARPANET (1969): Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense, it was a precursor to the modern internet.
Intel 4004 (1971): The first microprocessor.
Altair 8800 (1975): One of the first successful personal computers.
Apple I (1976) and Apple II (1977): Early personal computers from Apple.
IBM PC (1981): Introduced by IBM, it helped standardize personal computing.
Microsoft Windows (1985): The release of Windows 1.0 marked the beginning of Microsoft's dominance in operating systems.
Invention of the World Wide Web (1989) by Tim Berners-Lee: Revolutionized the internet by introducing a system of interconnected websites.
Palm Pilot (1996): One of the early successful personal digital assistants (PDAs).
BlackBerry (1999): Known for its mobile email capabilities.
Apple iPhone (2007): Revolutionized mobile computing and smartphones.
Cloud Computing: Emerged in the mid-2000s, enabling remote data storage and processing.
Advancements in AI and Machine Learning: Ongoing developments in artificial intelligence have transformed computing capabilities.
