Tabulator Machine - Herman Hollerith-1890
Andrew Sgambati
Invented by Herman Hollerith, the machine was developed to help process data for the 1890
it was the first machine designed to read a card and take in all the information from the card
Herman Hollerith was not apart of a companie when he invented the tabulator machine
Alan Turing - Turing Machine - 1936
The Turing machine was invented in 1936 by Alan Turing, who called it an a-machine (automatic machine).
A Turing machine is a mathematical model of computation that defines an abstract machine, which manipulates symbols on a strip of tape according to a table of rules.
a Turing machine capable of simulating that algorithm's logic can be constructed.
Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce - Integrated Circuit - 1959 - Joshua
Joshua Pierro
John Kilby demonstrated the first working IC and applied for a patent on February 6th, 1959.
In addition, the spread of the chips helped to bring advanced electronic devices to all parts of the world.
Robert Noyce, who worked at Fairchild Semiconductor recognized the limitations of germanium and creating his own chip fashioned from silicon.
Floppy Disk - 1967
Anya
it was invented in 1967.The first floppy drives used an 8-inch disk, which evolved into 5.25 inch disk that was used on the first IBM personal computer in August 1981.
The floppy disk was considered a revolutionary device throughout the history of computers for its portability, which provided a new and easy means of transporting data from computer. The floppy was invented by IBM engineers led by Alan Shugart.
The company named IBM had a male engineer named Alan Shugart that created the floppy disk
Tim Berners-Lee - Html - 1989
Joshua Pierro
The first version of HTML was written by Tim Berners-Lee and formally published in June 1993
Throughout the 2000's was HTML 4.01, which became an official standard in December 1999.
Most pages on the Web today were built using either HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0.

Deep Blue versus Garry Kasparov was a pair of six-game chess matches between world chess champion Garry Kasparov and an IBM supercomputer called Deep Blue. The first match was played in Philadelphia in 1996 and won by Kasparov.
Google - 1998
Maelyn
Google launched on September 4th, 1998, invented by two Stanford students Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
The invention of google was important because it changed the way we think. Google changed how search engines worked. At the time search engines used a very simple method, that didn't produce the best results but Google changed that.
Myspace - 2003
Maelyn
Myspace launched on August 1st, 2003. The founders were Chris DeWolfe and Tom Anderson.
Myspace had a significant influence on today's pop culture. But other than that it changed how we communicate. Myspace was the first social networking site.
First Apple Iphone - 2007
Elizabeth
On January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs announced iPhone at the Macworld convention, receiving substantial media attention.
The first apple Iphone was important because it led to engineers making more advanced phones in the future
The first apple Iphone was made only by Apple Inc. and CEO Steve Jobs.
Watson- 2010
Andrew Sgambati
developed in IBM's Deep QA project by a research team led by principal investigator David Ferrucci.
Watson was created as a question answering computing system built to apply advanced natural language processing,
the only companie i involved in making Watson was IBM
