Age of Computers

In 1853 Scheutz built the first mechanical computers which could print out its answer

Vannevar Bush designed an analog computer in 1927

. In 1939, Atanasoff developed the first automatic digital computer known as the Mark-I computer.

The digital computer was invented by Stibitz in 1940.

  In 1941, Turing designed the Colossus computer.

1943, the ENIAC computer was introduced

The first computer to operate in real time, the BINAC, was invented by Eckert and Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania in 1946  

Atlas invented the first virtual memory machine in 1958. It was during the same year that NEC of Japan began building electronic computers, and Cray built a transistorized supercomputer. Also that year, Texas Instrucments began manufacturing integrated circuits on one piece of silicon.

Mini-computers and BASIC were both introduced in 1964

1966, IBM introduced the 1500, the first instructional computing system

  In 1967, IBM began producing floppy disks.

Note:

-         Multimedia and Educational Technology with Theories is closely intertwined.

-         If not without discoveries of technology, new theories would not have been discovered as well.

-         If it was not also for the new theories then branches like education technology would have not existed or created.

-         It is because of the theories that technology is also discovered.
