| | History of computing hardware - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The US-built ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), often called the first electronic general-purpose computer, publicly validated the use of electronics for large-scale computing. | | | Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, is credited with developing the first mass-market home computers and later the first personal computer. | | | 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. |

| | A Brief History of Computing - Complete Timeline |
| | Computers built between 1959 and 1964 are often regarded as 'Second Generation' computers, based on transistors and printed circuits - resulting in much smaller computers. | | | Estimate that there are 100 computers in the world. | | | Besides computers need to be massively parallel before they give a significant enough advantage to warrent a new generation of computing. |

| | Computing at Columbia Timeline |
| | This was to be the locus for computer science instruction and research until the establishment of a separate Computer Science Department in 1979. | | | In fact, machine computing had been going on here for decades prior, but the 650 was the first computer in the modern sense of the word at Columbia open to the academic departments for research and instruction. | | | This is one of the first large-scale electronic computers, and the first machine to combine electronic computation with a stored program and capable of operating on its own instructions as data. |
