Inspired by A New History of Modern Computing by Thomas Haigh and Paul E. Ceruzzi. But the selection of key events in the journey from ENIAC to Tesla, from Data Processing to Big Data, is mine ...

From the earliest mechanical devices to the most advanced quantum computers of the present, the history of computing is a fascinating trip spanning thousands of years. Let’s explore the ...

Computing hardware has been an essential component of the process of calculation and data storage since it became useful for numerical values to be processed and shared.

That is one way to approach the history of computing—the history of solid-state electronics in the past 60 years. But computing existed long before the transistor.

If you’re guilty of skipping computer history class, here’s an exhaustingly lengthy Infographic from Manolution that can help you catch up. It sums up in detail the story behind the two ...

Though many people tout cloud computing as the next big thing, the idea is almost as old as the computer itself. The concept was born in the 1960s from the ideas of pioneers like J.C.R. Licklider ...

Although quantum computing is a nascent field, there are plenty of key moments that defined it over the last few decades as scientists strive to create machines that can solve impossible problems.

The evolution of computers is currently in a period of rapid change, stimulated by radically cheaper and smaller devices for processing and memory. These changes are certain to provide major ...
