Mouse Komputer Pertama Di Dunia (First Computer Mouse in the World)

Proving that things were way cooler back in the day, is the world's first computer mouse. Made by Douglas Engelbart in 1964, it "consisted of two gear-wheels positioned perpendicular to each other -- allowing movement on one axis." Just look at this thing. Ergonomic shape, great button placement -- and it's made of wood. If that ain't style, then I don't know what is. Sure the front has rotted out, but who cares. My mouse looks like that, and it's brand new. That's just what happens when porn doesn't download fast enough and you start slamming the mouse on the desk.

One more of the underside after the jump.

Virus Komputer Pertama di Dunia (First Computer Virus in the World)

Inkarnasi pertama virus ini muncul pada Januari 1986, disebut-sebut sebagai virus pertama untuk PC yang pernah dibuat. Virus ini menginfeksi boot sector media penyimpanan data dengan format DOS File Allocation Table (FAT). (c)Brain juga dikenal dengan sebutan virus Lahore, Pakistani, Pakistani Brain, Brain-A dan UIUC. Majalah Businessweek pada waktu itu menyebutnya Pakistani Flu.

(c)Brain dibuat oleh programmer berumur 19 tahun Basit Farooq Alvi dan saudaranya Amjad Farooq Alvi, yang tinggal di Chahmiran, Lahore, Pakistan. Kakak beradik ini mengaku pada majalah Time bahwa mereka membuat virus ini untuk melindungi software pengobatan karya mereka dari pembajakan. Virus ini bahkan melengkapi diri dengan alamat dua bersaudara ini berikut tiga nomor telepon yang bisa dihubungi, tak ketinggalan sebuah pesan yang menyebutkan bahwa jika komputer user terinfeksi maka dianjurkan menghubungi mereka untuk vaksinasi.

Ketika mereka mulai mendapatkan ribuan telepon dari orang-orang berbagai penjuru Amerika Serikat, Inggris, dan lainnya,yang meminta vaksinasi untuk komputer mereka, kakak-beradik ini terperangah dan berusaha menjelaskan bahwa motivasi mereka bukanlah untuk kejahatan.

Mereka akhirnya memotong kabel telepon dan menyesal telah membeberkan nomor telepon mereka sejak awal.

Komputer Modern Pertama di Dunia (First Modern Computer in the World)

• ENIAC spanned nearly 17 metres and filled most of a 9-by-17 metre room. It could perform 38 divisions and 357 multiplications in less than a second.
• ENIAC was noisy and emitted an incredible heat because it had 17,000 vacuum tubes — sealed glass containers conducting electrical currents.
• Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania first invented ENIAC for the U.S. army in 1945.
• ENIAC was based on a device called the Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (ASCC), devised one year earlier for the U.S. Navy.
• International Business Machine Corporation (IBM) debuted ASCC in 1944. ASCC was a complex calculator invented by Harvard University. It weighed 4.5 tonnes and measured 15.5 metres.
• IBM unveiled its first calculating machine in 1938.
• The Complex Number Calculator was the first remote machine to perform simple math equations.
• In 1946, computers took just two hours to equate what it used to take 100 engineers a whole year to do.
• Although the sophistication of computing machines vary, all of them are based on a similar model. A desktop computer is more elaborate than a car odometer but both work on a system that tallies numbers.
• ENIAC's power is overshadowed by today's calculator, which contains more memory than the early computer.
• By 1971, Intel had developed a 12-millimetre computer chip with 12 times the capability of ENIAC.
• ENIAC is credited as being the first "large-scale, electronic, digital computer capable of being reprogrammed to solve a full range of computing problems." But several other similar machines were developed in the early 1940s. These included Germany's Z3, America's Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) and Britain's Colossus computer.
