Undoubtedly, we are living in a magnificent digital era. We have surprisingly powerful computers, full-featured programming languages, lightning-speed internet connections, and operating systems/software to do almost anything we want. Countless innovations in computer science made a path slowly for the current state of computer technology. Computer technology didn’t just enhance within a few years. It took around more than 7 decades to convert a room-sized computer to a modern general-purpose computer.

There are remarkable innovations that changed the future of the entire world’s history of computer technology. We will not be able to achieve the success of modern computer technology without the help of these major historical turning points. Let’s check about those notable innovations.

Microprocessors

The whole concept of classical computers is based on binary number systems. A higher voltage level and a lower voltage level were used to represent binary digits. The first generation computers were built using vacuum tubes that were not durable. Also, those components were quite large and not such much every-saving. Therefore, it was very hard to make a computer…
