Visit the Computer History Museum Website and post a link of interest from the timeline. http://www.computerhistory.org/timeline This is Seymour Papert, who has gone on to be a contributing factor for the progressive technology program in the State of Maine. More info. on Papert who I found on the timeline for 1967 . . . . "Seymour Papert designed LOGO as a computer language for children. Initially a drawing program, LOGO controlled the actions of a mechanical "turtle," which traced its path with pen on paper. Electronic turtles made their designs on a video display monitor. Papert emphasized creative exploration over memorization of facts: "People give lip service to learning to learn, but if you look at curriculum in schools, most of it is about dates, fractions, and science facts; very little of it is about learning. I like to think of learning as an expertise that every one of us can acquire."

Wow! This is pretty cool. I love the fact that this guy is saying that the school system isn't doing their job right. I wish I had that "turtle!"

I found this interesting bit from the year I was born. I like it because my children play interacting games online all the time. If it weren't for these guys, my boys wouldn't be able to.

I think this information is very contraversial for pixar replaced a diieng art,the hand sketch.Pixar is founded. Pixar was originally called the Special Effects Computer Group at Lucasfilm (launched in 1979). The group created the computer animated segments of films such as “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” and “Young Sherlock Holmes.” In 1986, Apple Computer co-founder Steve Jobs paid 10 million dollars to Lucasfilm to purchase the Group and renamed it Pixar. Over the next decade, Pixar made highly-successful (and Oscar-winning) animated films. It was bought by Disney in 2006.

Yahoo is founded. Founded by Stanford graduate students Jerry Yang and David Filo, Yahoo started out as "Jerry's Guide to the World Wide Web" before being renamed. Yahoo originally resided on two machines, Akebono and Konishiki, both named after famous Sumo wrestlers. Yahoo would quickly expand to become one of the Internet’s most popular search engines.

That is Great! But what about the history timeline . . . was there anything of particular interest to you from the days gone by? Like what happened in 1981? perhaps. . .

Terminator 2: Judgment Day” opens. Director James Cameron’s sequel to his 1984 hit “The Terminator,” featured ground-breaking special effects done by Industrial Light & Magic. Made for a record $100 million, it was the most expensive movie ever made at the time. Most of this cost was due to the expense of computer-generated special effects (such as image morphing) throughout the film. Terminator 2 is one of many films that critique civilization’s frequent blind trust in technology. 2/7/2012 11:35:57 am
I FIND THE TIMELINE FROM 85 INTERESTING. COMPUTERS AND MUSIC HAVE CAME A LONG WAY SINCE 85.

Ping pong was a game created in the year 1972 by a guy names Al Alcorn. Its crazy how it was developed. Ralph Baer ordered Alcorn to design a car driving game, but instead he design the ping pong game. since 1972 people have been playing this game and time has only made it better. Imagine if he hadn't created ping pong as an accident, then who knows we would of never know what ping pong was!

Excellent . . . nice video link of the two people who developed the game. Here is more background on the game . . . In 1966, Ralph Baer designed a ping-pong game for his Odyssey gaming console. Nolan Bushnell played this game at a Magnavox product show in Burlingame, California. Bushnell hired young engineer Al Alcorn to design a car driving game, but when it became apparent that this was too ambitious for the time, he had Alcorn to design a version of ping-pong instead. The game was tested in bars in Grass Valley and Sunnyvale, California where it proved very popular. Pong would revolutionize the arcade industry and launch the modern video game era.

AT&T designed its Dataphone, the first commercial modem, specifically for converting digital computer data to analog signals for transmission. I am completely surprised how far we have come. now we have lightning speed bandwith. we have come so far in developing the internet

This is extremely IMPORTANT! This guy created the movement of Open Source software! The program source code is open for refinement by anyone! This is the guy . . . Designed by Finnish university student Linus Torvalds, Linux was released to several Usenet newsgroups on September 17th, 1991. Almost immediately, enthusiasts began developing and improving Linux, such as adding support for peripherals and improving its stability. In February 1992, Linux became free software or (as its developers preferred to say after 1998) open source. Linux typically incorporated elements of the GNU operating system and became widely used.

I am surprised how many people have become wealthy without college education. Now a days, people must have a college degree to get a job none the less be a millionaire
