Bell Labs is created by Alexander Graham Bell in order
to progress in industrial research and science.Konrad Zuse creates one of the first electromechanical relay computers the Z2.
It used electrical switches to drive mechanical relays to preform calculationsZuse followed his earlier machine up with the Z3, the world's first working electromechanical programmable, fully automatic digital computer with 2000 relays,
implementing a 22 bit word length that operated at a clock frequency of about 5–10 Hz.Data could be stored in 64 words of memory or supplied from the keyboard.
It was similar to modern machines in some respects, with numerous advances such as floating point numbers. Rather than the decimal system, using a binary system
meant that Zuse's machines werDigital computers start to make analog devices obsolete
due to a decrease in cost and availabilityComputers were advanced to break codes that opposing
sides sent during world war twoMagnetic core memory gained popularity until a
core of semiconductors was inventedThe first computer game was created opening the
use of computers to more than just science and warIntel, one of the major computer contributors, is founded increasing
the strides in making computers more powerful and fasterThe first laptop is created allowing for a mobile
computer that you can take around with youWindows 1.0 is introduced by Microsoft bringing
a new operating system into the worldSteve Jobs and Steve Wozniak create the apple II
which is a new affordable home computer for the masses
