* Ada Lovelace ( 1815 – 1852 ), the first computer programmer

After the war he worked at the National Physical Laboratory, where he created one of the first designs for a stored-program computer, the ACE.

It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's Difference Engine, a design for a mechanical computer.

The Analytical Engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first design for a general-purpose computer that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete.

In recognition of her additions to Menabrea's paper, which included a way to calculate Bernoulli numbers using the machine, she has been described as the first computer programmer.

J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly similarly were not aware of the details of Babbage's Analytical Engine work prior to the completion of their design for the first electronic general-purpose computer, the ENIAC.

Atanasoff and Clifford Berry's computer work was not widely known until it was rediscovered in the 1960s, amidst conflicting claims about the first instance of an electronic computer.

At that time, the ENIAC was considered to be the first computer in the modern sense, but in 1973 a U. S. District Court invalidated the ENIAC patent and concluded that the ENIAC inventors had derived the subject matter of the electronic digital computer from Atanasoff ( see Patent dispute ).

The machine was, however, the first to implement three critical ideas that are still part of every modern computer:

George W. Snedecor, the head of Iowa State's Statistics Department, was very likely the first user of an electronic digital computer to solve real world mathematics problems.

Judge Larson explicitly stated, " Eckert and Mauchly did not themselves first invent the automatic electronic digital computer, but instead derived that subject matter from one Dr. John Vincent Atanasoff ".

The first model was launched in 1985 as a high-end home computer and became popular for its graphical, audio and multi-tasking abilities.

A prototype of the full computer was shown to the public for the first time at the Summer Consumer Electronics Show in 1984.

Von Neumann wrote the first array-sorting program ( merge sort ) in 1945, during the building of the first stored-program computer .< sup > p.

In computer science, an AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree, and it was the first such data structure to be invented.

The Aster CT-80, an early home / personal computer developed by the small Dutch company MCP ( later renamed to Aster Computers ), was sold in its first incarnation as a kit for hobbyists.

It was the first commercially available Dutch personal / home computer.

Most Aster CT-80's ( about 10 thousand of them ) were sold to schools for computer education, in a project first known as the " honderd scholen project " ( one hundred schools project ), but which later involved many more than just one hundred schools.

* The tutorial in the computer game Dystopia takes place in Yggdrasil's first arcology.

* 1981 – The Osborne 1, the first successful portable computer, is unveiled at the West Coast Computer Faire in San Francisco.

This might sound complex, but first of all the number of di-atomic molecules that can exist at the temperatures of the atomizers used in AAS is relatively small, and second, the correction is performed by the computer within a few seconds.

He first gained media attention for breaking into several high-profile computer networks, including those of The New York Times, Yahoo !, and Microsoft, culminating in his 2003 arrest.

ASCII itself was first used commercially during 1963 as a seven-bit teleprinter code for American Telephone & Telegraph's TWX ( TeletypeWriter eXchange ) network.

AIX was the first operating system to utilize journaling file systems, and IBM has continuously enhanced the software with features like processor, disk and network virtualization, dynamic hardware resource allocation ( including fractional processor units ), and reliability engineering ported from its mainframe designs.

He established the first Ottoman railroad network and Sirkeci Train Station in Istanbul, terminus of the Orient Express.

The Atari Lynx has several innovative features including it being the first color handheld, with a backlit display, a switchable right-handed / left-handed ( upside down ) configuration, and the ability to network with up to 17 other units via its " ComLynx " system ( though most games would network eight or fewer players ).

For many years he was the British postmaster for the colonies, which enabled him to set up the first national communications network.

However, the government resisted calls for the nationalisation of the network ( first proposed by William Ewart Gladstone as early as the 1830s ).

After using a crane shot in one of the first NBC-produced episodes, the network complained about the exorbitant cost of renting the crane.

As the anniversary of Confederation, Dominion Day, and later Canada Day, was the date set for a number of important events, such as the first national radio network hookup by the Canadian National Railway ( 1927 ), the inauguration of the CBC's cross-country television broadcast ( 1958 ), the flooding of the Saint Lawrence Seaway ( 1958 ), the first colour television transmission in Canada ( 1966 ), the inauguration of the Order of Canada ( 1967 ), and the establishment of " O Canada " as the country's national anthem ( 1980 ).

One of the first cognitive psychologists, George Miller is well known for dedicating his career to the development of WordNet, a semantic network for the English language.

This cycle is now recognized as the first part of the larger CNO nuclear burning network.

" During the first decade of the 21st century, a number of schools that were part of the Schechter network transformed themselves into non-affiliated community day schools.

The ITV network, like BBC1, began full colour transmissions on 15 November 1969 and it is therefore possible that the first transmitted colour episode is number 928 shown on 17 November.

Although the NIC at first used NLS, it was intended to be a production service to other network users, while Engelbart continued to focus on innovative research.

* 1992 – A test engineer for Sema Group uses a personal computer to send the world's first text message via the Vodafone network to the phone of a colleague.

After Disney acquired Saban during the third series, the first three series moved to the cable network ABC Family, while the fourth ( Frontier ) premiered on UPN.

The entire first series of Digimon Adventure was dubbed in English ( in order to compete with the 4Kids version of Pokémon which aired on the rival network GMA 7 on the same day and time ), along with Digimon Adventure 02.

The first film to be distributed through the network was Artisan Entertainment's STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF MOTOWN.

DARPA supported the evolution of the ARPANET ( the first wide-area packet switching network ), Packet Radio Network, Packet Satellite Network and ultimately, the Internet and research in the artificial intelligence fields of speech recognition and signal processing, including parts of Shakey the robot.

In addition, as part of the first commercial implementation of DPNSS ( in the Government Telephone Network or GTN in 1983 ), BT insisted that the core of the network be made from PBXs of different manufacture to prove the interoperability in real life.

Thomas Edison built the world's first large-scale electrical supply network.

In 1882, Edison switched on the world's first large-scale electrical supply network that provided 110 volts direct current to fifty-nine customers in lower Manhattan.

The SystemPro, being one of the first PC-style systems designed as a network server, was built from the ground up to take full advantage of the EISA bus.

This was not the first incident of apparent network censorship on Sullivan's show.
