III. The History of ICT
In the early 19th century, calculators emerged, marking a technological
advancement after the discovery of electricity in the 1780s. Charles
Babbage's initial computer designs surfaced in 1833, while the first
electronic calculator was assembled by Konrad Zuse in 1931. The late
19th century saw the roots of television in early transmission systems, with
Guglielmo Marconi inventing "wireless telegraphy" in 1894, paving the
way for radio development. The 1920s witnessed the widespread
adoption of commercial radio broadcasts and the earliest television
transmissions, including the development of color television. Alexander
Graham Bell's invention of the telephone in 1876 laid the foundation for
widespread telephone technology in the 1930s. The 1970s and 1980s
marked the introduction of mobile phone technology, with the sale of the
earliest mobile phones. The late 20th century saw a surge in computer
development, with Intel introducing the first microprocessor in 1971 and
IBM manufacturing the initial versions of today's computers in 1981. Tim
Lee's creation of the World Wide Web in 1991 defined a significant
moment for Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
