+10 High Tech Stuff 1990 How might ICT develop in the coming 10 years? It seems likely we will see smaller, slimmer, more powerful devices. Perhaps we will see reality augmentation in the form of heads-up-displays using real- time, cloud driven data. 1969 ARPANET, predecessor to the Internet is first tested, connecting a total of 4 computers. Tests begin on CERN's World Wide Web system for sharing information. Invented by Tim Berners-Lee, it quickly becomes the most used application on An Investigation into Computers, Technology & Life the Internet. 1936 1998 Konrad Zuse develops the Z1, an early computer with limited programmability. It was powered by electricity, but functioned mechanically. 1944 1971 The Colossus computer is used by the British to break German codes during WWII. It is the first large-scale use of vacuum tubes in computing. The Intel 4004 is the first microprocessor to be shipped to customers. It is used in a calculator used by Japanese firm Busicom. The Internet surpasses 100 million users, and is well on its way to becoming a truly global system. The coming explosion in cell phones, and later 3G connectivity will further this growth hugely. Singularity? 1945 1958 1985 Microsoft launches its Windows "First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC" describes the essentials of the Jack Kilby, working at Texas Instruments, produces a working integrated circuit, leading to the microprocessor, and opening the floodgates for smaller, more powerful electronics. operating system.

Pre-1936 Today 1947 Humans have a long history of using machines to assist them in doing complex maths. One of the earliest, the abacus, dates back to Mesopotamia around 2500 BC. We live in a world being transformed by information and communication technologies (ICT). Almost every part of our lives is being touched by PCs, smart phones, tablets, pervassive Internet and social Working at Bell Labs, Shockley, Bardeen, and Brattain invent the 1977 transistor, a solid-state replacement for vacuum tubes. Transistors are faster, more reliable, cheaper and require less power. Apple Releases the Apple II, the first example of a popular personal computer. services. Evidence suggests that humans have always used and loved technology as a way to make life better. From early stone tools, to fire, clothes and language, right through to iPads, Android and the Intemet. How different our lives would be without technology: would we even be human at all?
