In 1939 one of the very first computer company was founded, thus beginning a whole new era of technology that has evolved over a period of 76 years and has yet to slow down. Throughout the decades computers have transformed from machines that took up the space of an entire room, to fitting in the palm of your hand. Computers come in all shapes, sizes, and types such as desktops, laptops, cellphones and even game systems. While computers have an assortment of functions and purposes, some computers only have one purpose. Also, the performance of computers have come a long way, computers today can do multiple task at one time and they are much faster. The history of computers have been shaped by 3 big companies HP, Dell and Apple. The very first computer company was founded in 1939 and we know it as the Hewlett-Packard Company or HP for short. It was founded in the Silicon Valley in California by two friends Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. They diligently worked out of a small garage to create the first product of HP, which was the Model 200A audio oscillator in 1938. The Model 200A audio oscillator was a test instrument that was used to generate frequencies and was $500 each. Disney was their first big customer, buying 8 of their second invention the Model 200B oscillators at $55 each. HP is a company known for its various models of computers and although the company started in 1939 it did not produce its first computer until the year 1966. The computer was named the HP 2116a
Apple Computers started out small. It all started with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, his best friend, in a garage (kessler). Jobs created Apple when he was 21 years old (Farhad). Other people soon joined the company later on (Farhad). The first job that Jobs and Wozniak had was
The beast limped towards me, its eyes glowing red like the color of my blood, adrenaline pumps quickly throughout my body, it charges, hooves clacking along the cold dirt floor, its shaggy fur dripping with warm crimson blood. My breath is fast as I leap towards it, dagger raised. It punctures the soft skin, tearing the flesh of its bony chest. I follow the pattern; leap, stab, tear, duck, roll, aim for thigh and roll again. It howls in rage and leaps at me, its claws outstretched, I hold out my blade as it crashes into it, the knife reaching its' now motionless heart. Another comes at me, wanting to seek revenge for its fallen brother. It roars, spikes flaring in and out of
Bill and Dave begin part-time work in the rented garage at Palo Alto, California, 1938. With $538 (U.S.) in working capital, consisting of cash and a used drill press, they produced HP 's first product, HP Model 200A, a
HP was started by two electrical engineers who graduated from Stanford University in 1934. During a two-week camping trip, following graduation, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard became close friends. Bill continued his education, taking graduate courses at MIT while Dave worked at General
Apple Computer Company got its start in the early seventies when the two cofounders wanted to create a computer for every person. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak got together and started creating one of the first personal computers. After CEO Steve Jobs was forced to leave the company and then return after ten years of working with other technical companies. In 1996, he made his return and they began to look into the music industry as there next big idea.
Apple’s history dates to 1974 when two men, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak had a vision that inexpensive home computers would soon be in demand. Two years later, Jobs and Wozniak built their first computer in Jobs’ family garage, they named it Apple I. On April 1, 1976, the Apple Computer Company was established.
Hewlett-Packard was founded in 1939 by two men, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard who met in the 1930s while studying at Stanford University. Hewlett-Packard is and has always been a highly innovative company that thrives
Hewlett Packard began in 1939 in Palo Alto, California. The company was founded by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard who were friends at the time and remained that until both of their passing. Hewlett Packard has been a leader in technology that encompasses globally, into space exploration, the entertainment industry, the medical industry, the hospitality industry, and many others. In the early 2000’s, the economic landscape was changing globally and Hewlett Packard was beginning to feel the financial hardships of a very competitive industry. In an effort to remain competitive, Hewlett Packard and Compaq decided upon a merger that did aid in transforming both companies, but only to a degree.
I. Computer 's are an integral part of our daily lives. Just about anywhere you go, a computer is present. Hospitals, banks, even the gas pump you frequent, relies on computer 's to figure out how much gas you pump, how much it is per gallon, and where to get that money from. As you can see from this line graph, computer 's are in more demand than ever peaking at 350 million sold in a year. (Computer Sales Statistics)
Hewlett Packard also known as HP was founded by William Hewlett and Dave Packard in a small rented garage in Palo Alto, California which is now known as the original Silicon Valley. HP is one of the world’s largest Information Technology (IT) companies operating on a global level. HP specializes in computers, computer systems and software. Also, in the development and manufacture of hardware, software design, service delivery as well as data storage. Identified Strategies
The Hewlett-Packard Company was originated in January 1939 by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard, two Stanford University classmates. The company incorporated in 1947. Mr. Packard was appointed as the President and Mr. Hewlett as the Vice President.
Apple computers was established on April 1, 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne and incorporated on January 3, 1997. The first Apple Computer was put together by Steve Wozniak and sold for $500.00. The computer, called Apple I, went on sale in July of 1976 and consisted of a circuit board, keyboards and screens. While Wozniak built the computers himself, both he and Jobs and sold them to a computer store, the Byte Shop, in Mountain View California.
Founded in 1976, Apple has slowly become a multinational corporation. It all began in 1974 when college dropouts Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak came together and created a technology domination. When Jobs and Wozniak decided college wasn't for them, they immediately began creating a company in which they would create PC devices as personal consumer products. Along with their friend, Ronald Wayne, they three began developing a PC, otherwise known as the first Apple I. After being denied numerous times by local computer shops and companies, the three decided to develop their own company right at home. Soon enough, Ronald Wayne decided he no

The history of computer development is often referred to in reference to the different generations of figuring out/ calculating devices. A generation refers to the state of improvement in the product development process. This term is also used in the different advancements of new computer technology. With each new generation, the circuitry has gotten smaller and more advanced than the previous generation before it. As a result of the making something much smaller, speed, power, and computer memory have proportionally increased. New discoveries are constantly being developed that affect the way we live, work and play. Each generation of computers is seen as the major technological development that basically changed the way computers operate, resulting in more and more smaller, cheaper, powerful, efficient and reliable devices
