History of computer and the internet
The history of the computer began with early counting aids, leading to electronic computers like the UNIVAC I in the 1950s, followed by personal computers like the IBM PC and Apple Macintosh in the 1980s. The internet emerged from the 1960s ARPANET, a US military project for data sharing, evolving with the TCP/IP protocol in 1983 to connect different networks.
Early Computers
The history of computers began with mechanical devices
such as the abacus. Later, Charles Babbage proposed the
Analytical Engine, considered the first concept
of a programmable computer.
Generations of Computers
The CPU has
evolved from vacuum tubes to modern microprocessors.
The 1st generation used vacuum tubes,
while the 2nd generation relied on transistors.
By the 4th generation, computers became personal
and affordable.
Mathematics in Computing
A famous equation: E = mc2
Another example: H2O represents water.
Birth of the Internet
The WWW was invented by
Tim Berners-Lee. As he once said:
"The power of the Web is in its universality.
Access by everyone regardless of disability is
an essential aspect."
– Tim Berners-Lee
Modern Era
Today, we use dial-up broadband and
fiber connections. Computers now fit in our
