| Sumario: | Since the development of the machine designed by Alan Turing to the present day, the human-computer interfaces have been progressing in various fields at the rate of use. Initially, computers derived from Turing machine (1936), responded to mathematical needs and its applications focused just to the scientific field; and like almost every technological development was promoted to improve the war performance. In this process, we generally recognize as some of the major milestones the Z1 (1938) by Konrad Zuse, the Harvard Mark I (1944) by Howard H. Aiken team, Colossus (1944) by Tommy Flowers, the ENIAC (1946) from the University of Pennsylvania, the binary EDVAC (1951) conceived by John von Neumann, the IBM 650 of serial production (1953) and the IBM 360 with integrated circuit boards (1964). It is perhaps from this moment, that together with the development of processors and commercial microprocessors from Intel, advances in software and hardware introduced by Apple, IBM and Microsoft were added, allowing to extend the use of computer professionals in the applied sciences. |
