10 Pioneer Computer

Sophisticated computers we use today is not the work of one person. Smart device that is the result of mutual cooperation of scientists, technicians and vendors of course developers. Here are 10 computer technology list from time to time, which produces computer sophistication of today.

1. IBM Roadrunner
Dreams about the fastest supercomputers is difficult to realize, but eventually realized also by IBM. Greater than the ENIAC computer in 1946, IBM Roadrunner referred to as the first machine that could process data in a matter of petaflop, which is more than a quadrillion operations per second. But after several decades, this speed is equal to a desktop today.

2. Apple Macintosh
Computers for all circles, that's what Apple introduced in 1984. With captivating graphics display is not just a command-style formulas boring DOS. We know him now as a Graphical User Interface (GUI)

3. IBM PC
The era of the 1980s, synonymous with the IBM personal computer. For IBM it was the one who pioneered the presence of standard software and hardware in the personal computer market. Finally, this standard is followed all the computer vendors worldwide to date.

4. Apple II
Introduced by Apple in 1977 and last up to 15 years, the Apple II to prove that they can be mass-produced. Advanced color graphics in that era and the use of a fairly easy for the layman. This method is said to emulate Microsoft.

5. TRS-80
Still in 1977, Radio Shack sells launched a microcomputer that as many as 3,000 units. This product is referred to as the first computer the most easily used by anyone to even school children.

6. Xerox PARC Alto
This is a single computer with a graphical interface along with windows and icons, a mouse to control the cursor and a local hard drive, and an Ethernet connection to office networks. Everything is incorporated in the Alto, which was developed experimental mesij Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in 1974. But the Xerox Alto was never launched into the market.

7. Datapoint 2200
If only a single computer course was marketed in 1970 by Computer Terminal Corporation (CTC). Until now, no matter apikasi Datapoint 2200 is still used paa PC. Parties CTC became a partner Intel to ease the free processors into a single-chip machine.

8. IBM System/360
With a standard set of peripherals and compatible models, S/360 memenuhikebutuhan business computers when IBM released it in 1964. It can be said as a stub when the computer is needed in the business world. Also as a milestone of modern computer industry economics.

9. ENIAC
This is the "ancestor" today's computers are amazing. Developed by the U.S. military, the Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC), became the forerunners of the computer in 1946. Although this amazing machine in its time, but the size is not very practical. This machine consists of 17,478 down for tube with a weight of 30 tons and consume 150 kilowatt electricity.

10.Mesin Differentiation
Charles Babbage was challenged when the British government asked for a machine that could produce mathematical tables. From here Babbage designed the first simple computer that can process mathematical calculations automatically. This is the foundation of today's computer performance.
