This tiny device had a huge impact

on and extensive implications for
modern computers. In 1956, the
transistor won its creators the
Noble Peace Prize for their
invention
Transistors were replaced by integrated
circuits or chips, giving computers
tremendous speed to process information
at a rate of millions of calculations per
second.
In 1970 John Huff invented the
microprocessor, an entire CPU on a single
chip. This allowed for the building of a
microcomputer or personal computer
Based on the Intel 8080 processor, capable of
controlling 64 kilobyes of memory, the MITS
Altair - as the invention was later called - was
debuted on the cover of the January edition of
Popular Electronics magazine.

The Apple Macintosh

debuts in 1984. It features
a simple, graphical
interface, uses the 8-MHz,
32-bit Motorola 68000
CPU, and has a built-in 9-
inch B/W screen
