ELECTRONIC AGE
The invention of the transistor ushered in the electronic age.
People harnessed the power of transistors that led to the
transistor radio, electronic circuits, and the early computers. In
this age, long distance communication became more efficient.
Claude Elwood
Shannon
He is regarded as the father of modern
digital communication and information
theory. He was one of the most outstanding
scientists of the 20th century. His work in
the 1940s served as the foundation for
digital communication technology.

What format/equipment did
people use to communicate
with each other?
Cellphone
(1973)
The invention of the first mobile phone is
credited to Motorola, the company that
released the first commercially available
handheld phone.
The Apple II
(1930)
Though there was no mainframe inventor, Howard Aiken, a
Harvard researcher, developed the first mainframe in the 1930s.
He proposed the creation of a large-scale calculator capable of
solving non-linear equations.
The first commercial mainframe computers, which took up an
entire room, were developed in the early 1950s. Large
organizations, both commercial and governmental, use mainframe
computers for census, industry, and consumer statistics, payroll
and accounts payables/receivables processing, and transaction
processing.
Videotape Recorder
(1951)
In 1951, Amplex hired inventor Charles Paulson
Ginsburg, also known as the "father of the video
cassette recorder." Ginsburg had the opportunity to
lead the research team that developed the first
broadcast-quality videotape recorder (VTR).
The VTR is credited with transforming television
broadcasting. Television signals were the first tape-
recorded shortly after World War II when audio tape
recorders were used to record the extremely high-
frequency signals required for television. To achieve
a high-frequency response, these early machines were
pushed to their limits, running the tape at speeds of
up to 240 inches per second.
