A 19th-Century Mathematician Finally Proves Himself

Computer History Museum News: Charles Babbage, the man whom many consider to be the father of modern computing, never got to complete any of his life’s work. The Victorian gentleman was a brilliant mathematician, but he wasn’t very good at politics and fundraising, so he never got the financial backing to finish any of his elaborate machine designs. For decades, even his fans weren’t certain whether his computing machines would have worked.

The Most Revolutionary Videogames of All Time

Computer History Museum News: Think “Rock Band” is revolutionary? Well, not compared to the first video music game ever: “PaRappa the Rapper.” First released in Japan in late 1996 for the original Sony PlayStation, “PaRappa” was the first music (or rhythm) game ever. Featuring an animated rapping dog, PaRappa was eventually released in North America in October 1997 and went on to sell hundreds of thousands of copies, paving the way for mega-hits like “Guitar Hero” (2005) and the “Rock Band” series (2007).

Why Email No Longer Rules

Computer History Museum News: Email has had a good run as king of communications. But its reign is over. In its place, a new generation of services is starting to take hold—services like Twitter and Facebook and countless others vying for a piece of the new world. And just as email did more than a decade ago, this shift promises to profoundly rewrite the way we communicate—in ways we can only begin to imagine.

Intel Co-founder Moore Looks Back on a Legendary IT Career

Computer History Museum News: Since Dr. Gordon E. Moore helped start two important semiconductor makers, Fairchild and Intel, information technology has evolved a hundredfold. Most of that development is due to the successful implementation of the silicon-based integrated processor: squeezing down transistors, resistors and other elements into smaller and smaller forms onto silicon wafers.

“The integrated circuit turns 50”

Computer History Museum News: On Friday the IEEE unveiled a plaque commemorating the 50th anniversary of the first practical IC, which was created at Fairchild’s original building at 844 Charleston Road in Mountain View (it’s just off San Antonio Road near 101). The plaque was unveiled by Margaret Abe-Koga, the mayor of Mountain View who wasn’t even born back then.

The story of the founding of Fairchild is pretty well known. Shockley invented the transistor at Bell Labs in New Jersey (for which he eventually won the Nobel prize in physics) and then moved to California to commercialize it. This was truly the founding of Silicon Valley.
