Hewlett-Packard was founded in a Palo Alto, California garage by David Packard and Bill Hewlett. Their first product, the HP 200A Audio Oscillator, became popular test equipment for engineers and Walt Disney Pictures ordered several for use in the 1940 film Fantasia. The history of Hewlett-Packard can be broken into 5 periods defined by significant technological advancements: vacuum tubes in 1943-1958, transistors in 1959-1965, large-scale integrated circuits in 1966-1973, very large-scale integration and microprocessors in 1974-1990, and the concept of biochips and artificial intelligence from 1990 onwards.
