The Internet

Facebook 

Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg, which was a student in Harvard University. The idea of creating this page was for the students in the university in order so they can share their feelings and ideas. This idea wasn`t new because David Bohnett created Geocities in the end of 1980. Nowadays, Facebook has got almost 900 millions of users. In the years 2007- 2008, Facebook was translated in spanish and was expanded through all latin America. 

Youtube

Youtube is a website where people from all around the world can upload and share videos. It was created by three old workers of PayPal in February 2005. In October 2006 was acquired by google inc. in exchange of 1650 millions of dollars and but it is still working as youtube and hasn’t change the name. The first video to be uploaded was one called “Me At The Zoo” which shows one of  the co-founders Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo. This video was uploaded on April 23, 2005 and can still be shown.

 

The First Computer

In 1946, John Mauchly  and John Presper Eckert develop the ENIAC ( Electrical Numerical Integratos And Calculator). In one second the ENIAC could make 5,000 additions,357 multiplications or 38 divisions.John Mauchly had  created several calculating machines years before , some with small electric motors inside but the best one was the ENIAC and is now recognize as the first computer.

The ENIAC contained 17,468 vacuum tubes, and with 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, 1,500 relays, 6,000 manual switches and 5 million soldered joints. it occupied 167 square meters of space in the floor, weighed 30 tons and consumed 160 kilowatts of electrical power.In total, the ENIAC solved 100 scientific problems in his lifetime

Here is a timeline to show how the computer developed by the pass of the years and how many computers they made after creating the one that is useful in these days.

Bill Gates and Microsoft

William Henry ''Bill'' Gates is an American bussiness magnate, investor, programmer and inventor. He is the fundator of the company of Microsoft, the world's largest personal - computer software company, with the bussiness man Paul Allen. He is recently the richest man in the world with an estimate fortune of 72.7 thousand million dollars. He is married to Melissa Gates, and apart of sharing a life, they also share the Foundation of Bill and Melissa Gates, a company dedicated in the reconstruction of education and health locally, and especialized in regions of lower class. 

Bill Gates created the company of the software of microsoft in the year 1975, when he was still a student at the University of Harvard also with his later partner, Paul Allen. The next year, 1976, he abandoned University and moved to Albuquerque, a city in the E.E.U.U. to learn more about the system of the computers. The next year, he received the notice about the success of the company of Apple. He was allied with a lot of companies such as IBM (International Bussiness Machines) who really need him in order to beat apple so this help him to develop his software. 

While Apple had already develovep the mouse for the computer, Bill Gates decided to develop it too. While Steve Jobs (owner of Apple) was starting the development of Macintosh (is the name given to any personal computer designed, developed, built, marketed and sold by apple), Gates visited Apple. This was a manuever from Microsoft towards Apple because there Gates offered Apple to improve their spreadshits and other programmes and also he threat them on selling their computer equipment to IBM. As a consequence of this, he obtain to firm an Microsoft - Apple alliance. 

Microsoft reached to obtain the technology to create the mouse for the computer and then, release to the market the new Microsoft Windows. Since then, Microsoft Windows have been the OS used in almost every personal computer in the world in every version.
