Interesting Historical Facts of Computer and Technology

Few interesting historical facts can help us to assume the massive changes and development of computers and technology. Now, our situation is such of a kind that we are standstill without the involvement of a computer. Its history and science together with technology implemented by the inventors who expressed innovative inventions as follows:

ENIAC, first electronic computer

What is the maximum space required to place a computer on your desk? The maximum space it should take of 10 square feet. But this first electronic computer invented by ENIAC required space of 1800 sft. 

Quite pleasant is the time now when we can use computers of different configurations depending on the kind or purpose of work. Computer and technology have contributed to the evolution of fast pace working platform. From updating simple document data to large designs and AI codes operation is possible with different applications. In 1945, when Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer were invented, which upgraded as we see now, till the end of decades. 

 Wooden mouse

Wireless mouse, Wired mouse, pinpointed and USB mouse is all that we have seen. The kids of the 60s and 70s have seen the invention of the first wooden mouse. They witnessed the computer mouse that was invented in 1964 by Douglas C. Engelbart.

Every day almost 5000 new viruses are found, few are harmful, and few not. So the virus is not inbuilt, it is created and designed by intelligent hackers. Hackers are paid for their regular activities and inventions on a high scale. Thousands are found now but the first virus was invented by a 15-year-old boy, Creeper who later turned out to become a popular hacker who worked for NASA. 

Apart from these important inventions on the computer, other inventions of computer science include the applications which handle massive business throughout the world.
