ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer. It was Turing-complete and able to solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming.
Although ENIAC was designed and primarily used to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory (which later became a part of the Army Research Laboratory), its first program was a study of the feasibility of the thermonuclear weapon.
ENIAC was completed in 1945 and first put to work for practical purposes on December 10, 1945.
ENIAC was formally dedicated at the University of Pennsylvania on February 15, 1946

It was the evolution of a prototype called the SCAMP (Special Computer APL Machine Portable) that was developed at the IBM Palo Alto Scientific Center in 1973. Whether considered evolutionary from SCAMP or revolutionary, it still needed to be plugged into an electric socket.]]> 2021-09-13 17:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/henriquelemos/6cnw7rd51zyxaa9z/wish/1736913596 Apple-1(1976) henriquelemos https://padlet.com/henriquelemos/6cnw7rd51zyxaa9z/wish/1736935327 The Apple Computer 1, originally released as the Apple Computer and known later as the Apple I, or Apple-1, is a desktop computer released by the Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) in 1976. It was designed by Steve Wozniak. The idea of selling the computer came from Wozniak's friend and co-founder Steve Jobs.The Apple I was Apple's first product, and to finance its creation, Jobs sold his only motorized means of transportation, a VW Microbus, for a few hundred dollars (Wozniak later said that Jobs planned instead to use his bicycle to get around), and Wozniak sold his HP-65 calculator for $500. Wozniak demonstrated the first prototype in July 1976 at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California]]> 2021-09-13 17:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/henriquelemos/6cnw7rd51zyxaa9z/wish/1736935327 Apple Foundation(1976) henriquelemos https://padlet.com/henriquelemos/6cnw7rd51zyxaa9z/wish/1736961353 2021-09-13 17:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/henriquelemos/6cnw7rd51zyxaa9z/wish/1736961353 Microsoft Foundation(1975) henriquelemos https://padlet.com/henriquelemos/6cnw7rd51zyxaa9z/wish/1736962626 2021-09-13 17:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/henriquelemos/6cnw7rd51zyxaa9z/wish/1736962626 Windows Release Date(1985) henriquelemos https://padlet.com/henriquelemos/6cnw7rd51zyxaa9z/wish/1736974823 The first independent version of Microsoft Windows, version 1.0, released on November 20, 1985, achieved little popularity. The project was briefly codenamed "Interface Manager" before the windowing system was implemented—contrary to popular belief that it was the original name for Windows and Rowland Hanson, the head of marketing at Microsoft, convinced the company that the name Windows would be more appealing to customers.]]> 2021-09-13 17:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/henriquelemos/6cnw7rd51zyxaa9z/wish/1736974823 Classic MAC OS Release Date(1985-2001) henriquelemos https://padlet.com/henriquelemos/6cnw7rd51zyxaa9z/wish/1736978753 The Classic Mac OS is the series of operating systems developed for the Macintosh family of personal computers by Apple Inc. from 1984 to 2001, starting with System 1 and ending with Mac OS 9. The Macintosh operating system is credited with having popularized the graphical user interface concept. It was included with every Macintosh that was sold during the era in which it was developed, and many updates to the system software were done in conjunction with the introduction of new Macintosh systems.]]> 2021-09-13 17:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/henriquelemos/6cnw7rd51zyxaa9z/wish/1736978753
