Stephen Wilhite was working at CompuServe in 1987 when he and his team created a new format that allowed users to share compressed image files with ease. The first GIF, short for graphics interchange format, was released #OTD. What's your favorite #GIF ? #TodayinComputingHistory
On this day in 1946, ENIAC, is unveiled by its creators, at University of Pennsylvania . 6 women were selected to configure and interconnect ENIAC's components. Their contribution to the program wasn't acknowledged until the mid 1980s. #computer #ACM #TodayinComputingHistory
On this day in 1958, Jack Kilby, an electrical engineer at Texas Instruments, demonstrated the first working integrated circuit. Along with Robert Noyce, he is credited with the invention of the IC. Sources: All about Circuits, Computer History Museum #TodayInComputingHistory
Dec 3, 1924: John Warner Backus born. He led the IBM team that developed FORTRAN and later invented BNF, the context-free meta syntax notation. (PC: PIerre.Lescanne via Wikipedia) #TodayInComputingHistory
On this day 76 years ago, ACM was founded as the Eastern Association for Computing Machinery at a meeting at Columbia University in New York. The word "Eastern" was dropped from its name in January 1948. 🥂 bit.ly/44bN2U6 #TodayinComputingHistory #OTD #science #techorg
In 2004, Google acquired Where 2 Technologies and Keyhole, and the new team of 50 people set out building a digital map that was searchable, scrollable, and zoomable. @googlemaps launched #OTD a year later, revolutionizing the way we navigate our world. #TodayInComputingHistory
#OTD in 1956, @MIT 's Whirlwind computer became the first to allow its user to enter commands through a keyboard, a revolutionary solution at a time when instructions were communicated by inserting punched cards and changing dials and switches. #TodayinComputingHistory #computers
#OTD in 1959, the Automatically Programmed Tool (APT) was demonstrated at @MIT . APT is a #programming language used to generate instructions for numerically controlled machine tools. Used widely through the 1970s, it is still a standard internationally. #TodayinComputingHistory
Then, we can't forget that its the birthday of Jonathan Postel too, who along with Paul Mockapetris designed and implemented DNS. #TodayInComputingHistory #today #HappyBirthday #TriviaTime
