Timeline: 1930s
Proof that boolean logic was possible was found in George Stibitz 's invention of his "Model K" Adder. He utilized Bell Company 's telephone relays in order to create a basic calulator devise in the year 1937. Two years later, Hewlett-Packard was founded by David Packard and Bill Hewlett in their garage. Their first business expedition within HP was sound-testing equipment. [1]
Timeline: 1940s
In 1940, George Stibitz makes history again with his completion of the Complex Number Calculator (CNC) within Bell Telephone laboratories. This was the first usage of remote access computing because he made calculations over special types of telephone lines from another location. The next year a German computer scientist names Konrad Zuse builds the Z3 Computer. This computer was used for aeronatical calculations until it was destroying in a bombing raid during World War II. In 1942 an Iowan college professor named John Vincent Atanasoff and one of his graduate students created the ABC (Atanasoff-Berry Computer)--both were later recognized as being inventors of multiple basic computer-design techniques. In 1944, scientists from Harvard finished building the Mark 1, the largest, most powerful computer of that era.

A filament within tube was either heated or left to be alone--a heated filament represented a one, while a blank filament represented a zero for the computer. Because these were not efficient (size and capacity to blow out), and transistors were complicated to engineer, Jack St. Clair Kilby working at Texas Instruments designed the first integrated circuit (chip) in 1958. These chips are actually multiple transistors built into one surface. Speed of computing also increased with his invention because the distance between the transistors was greatly reduced.
