Turing Machine (1936)
A Turing machine is a mathematical model of computation that defines an abstract machine,
Despite the model's simplicity, given any computer algorithm, a Turing machine capable of simulating that algorithm's logic can be constructed
The Turing machine was invented in 1936 by Alan Turing, who called it an a-machine (automatic machine)
Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce - Integrated Circuit [1959]
While at Fairchild, Noyce developed the integrated circuit. The same concept has been invented by Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments in Dallas a few months previously. In July 1959 Noyce filed a patent for his conception of the integrated circuit.
An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece of semiconductor material, normally silicon.
Floppy Disk (1970)
The inventor that made floppy disk is actually a company named IBM
is a type of disk storage composed of a disk of thin and flexible magnetic storage medium, sealed in a rectangular plastic enclosure lined with fabric that removes dust particles.
Watson[2010]
Watson is a question-answering computer system capable of answering questions posed in natural language
developed in IBM's DeepQA project by a research team led by principal investigator David Ferrucci.
Watson was named after IBM's first CEO, industrialist Thomas J. Watson.
