 Which Technology Came First? 10 Best tech Inventions Review…

 Nowadays, new gadgets are unveiled about once a week. You buy a tiny phone one day, and a tinier, cooler one will come out tomorrow and make yours obsolete. But not too long ago, it was a big deal when some of these gadgets launched. Can you remember which of these iconic products appeared on the market first?

1. First Mobile Phone:

Motorola DynaTAC 8000x became the first cell phone to be offered commercially when it went on sale on 6 March 1983. It offered 30 minutes of talk time and 8 hours of standby, and a LED display for dialling or recall of one of 30 phone numbers. It was priced at $3,995 in 1983 manufactured by Motorola, Inc. DynaTAC was an abbreviation of Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage.
2. First SmartPhone:

First SmartPhone IBM SImon

IBM Simon which was a joint venture between IBM and BellSouth is considered as the first smartphone in this world. Although it was designed in 1992, but launched to the public in 1993 and sold by BellSouth.It combined the features of a mobile phone, a pager, a PDA, and a fax machine. It also contained a calendar, address book, world clock, calculator, note pad, e-mail, send and receive fax, and games. It had no physical buttons to dial with but a touchscreen. It was a highly advanced phone for that time. After this many other companies started releasing smartphones.
The Nokia Communicator line was the first of Nokia’s smartphones starting with the Nokia 9000, released in 1996. Blackberry, Motorola, apple and every company released the product time to time.
3. First Website:

Tim Berners Lee

The very first website was info.nxoc01.cern.ch running on a NeXT computer at CERN, and the very first web page was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html. It was first put online on 6 August 1991. This website do not exists today.
The only people who actually had web browser software were Berners-Lee and his colleagues at CERN. Yes, Sir Timothy John “Tim” Berners-Lee(TimBL) published the first-ever website. He is a British computer scientist, MIT professor and the inventor of the World Wide Web. He is also the founder of the World Wide Web(WWW) Foundation.
While making the First website, CERN physicists had an idea to connect hypertext with the Internet and personal computers, thereby having a single information network to help them share all the computer-stored information at the laboratory.
4. First General Purpose Electronic Computer:

This NeXT Computer was used by Berners-Lee at CERN and became the world’s first web server

Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer or is short ENIAC was the first general-purpose electronic computer. Financed by the United States Army during World War II, John Mauchly and John Presper Eckert of the University of Pennsylvania, developed the ENIAC.It weighed more than 30 short tons (27 t), was roughly 8 by 3 by 100 feet (2.4 m × 0.9 m × 30 m), took up 1800 square feet (167 m2), and consumed 150 kW of power. Input was possible from an IBM card reader, and an IBM card punch was used for output. These cards could be used to produce printed output offline using an IBM accounting machine, such as the IBM 405.
5. First EMail Message

1971 the first e mail message

Raymond Samuel Tomlinson is a US programmer who send the first email in 1971 in ARPANET Network. He received the George R. Stibitz Computer Pioneer Award from the American Computer Museum in April 2000. He is also the man who put the @ sign in e-mail. He chose the @ sign to connect the user name with the destination address. Before inventing EMail he got the idea to merge an intra-machine message program with another program developed for transferring files among the ARPANET computers.
He was born in 1941 in Amsterdam, New York. He received a B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from RPI in 1963 and a S.M. in Electrical Engineering degree in 1965. Later he joined the technology company of Bolt, Beranek and Newman, where he helped develop the TENEX operating system including ARPANET Network Control Protocol and TELNET implementations.
6. First Commercial TV Sets

If we go for television sets with cathode ray tubes, then the credit goes to a German radio and television apparatus company Telefunken, whic founded in Berlin in 1903. The TV Sets were first manufactured by Telefunken in Germany in 1934. But if we remove the term cathode ray tubes, then the TV sets consisting of a “neon tube behind a mechanically spinning disk” were sold by Baird in the UK in 1928. The cathode ray tube TV Sets were later made in France in 1936 and in Britain in 1936.
The Invention credit of TV sets goes to John Logie Baird who was a Scottis engineer and inventor of the world’s first practical, publicly demonstrated television system, and also the world’s first fully electronic colour television tube.
7. First Aeroplane

Invention of three-axis control enabled the pilot to steer the aircraft effectively and to maintain its equilibrium

The Credit of Inventing the successful airplane goes to Orville and Wilbur. They were two Americans who also known as Wright brothers. They also have the record of first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, on December 17, 1903.
But How this idea of inventing the airplane came to their mind ? Let see
The brothers observed and thought, how birds can fly. They noticed when birds soared into the wind, the air flowing over the curved surface of their wings created lift. Birds change the shape of their wings and tail to turn. This observation hit their mind and they believed that they could use this technique of birds in their invention of making things fly.
8. First Microphone

Microphones

A microphone is an instrument that converts sound waves into electric signals. The credit of microphone invention goes to Thomas Alva Edison of America. Initially, 2 persons filed patent applications for the carbon microphone, in March and June 1877. At last the patent application was approved for Thomas Alva Edison. The losing person was Emile Berliner. Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman. He was born in Milan, Ohio on February 11, 1847.
Today the microphones are used in many applications such as telephones, tape recorders, karaoke systems, hearing aids, motion picture production, live and recorded audio engineering, FRS radios, megaphones, in radio and television broadcasting and in computers for recording voice, speech recognition, VoIP, and for non-acoustic purposes such as ultrasonic checking or knock sensors.
9. First Computer Mouse

The computer mouse was invented by the pioneer Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute. He invented the first mouse prototype in 1963 with the assistance of his colleague Bill English.
The mouse was made by wood having wheels that make contact with the working surface. The mouse had a cord attached to the rear part of the device looking like a tail and generally resembling the common mouse. The trackball, a related pointing device, was invented independently by Tom Cranston, Fred Longstaff and Kenyon Taylor working on the Royal Canadian Navy’s DATAR project in 1952. This trackball was not used in the mouse invented by Douglas Engelbart but later modification make this ball as a part of mouse.
10. First supercomputer

ENIAC-Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer

A supercomputer is a computer at the frontline of current processing capacity, particularly speed of calculation. The term “Super Computing” was first used in the New York World in 1929 to refer to large custom-built tabulators that IBM had made for Columbia University.
Since then If we go back a few years then K (kei)computer is the world’s fastest supercomputer built by produced by Fujitsu at the RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science campus in Kobe, Japan.
The letter “K” is short for the Japanese word “kei,” which symbolizes 10 quadrillion. The name is given to it because the supercomputer is capable of 10.51 Petaflops. That means it can do 10.51 quadrillion — that’s a million billion — calculations per second. In June 2011, the TOP500 ranked K the world’s fastest supercomputer, with a rating of over 8 petaflops, and in November 2011, K became the first computer to top 10 petaflops. The supercomputer has 672 computer racks equipped with a current total of 68,544 CPUs. The system also has recorded high standards with a computing efficiency ratio of more than 93.0%.
For comparison’s sake, the fastest commercially available Intel processor (the Core i7) is capable of about 109 gigaflops, or about 109 billion calculations per second. That means K Computer is more than 96,000 times faster than your PC
