The “INNOVATORS” is a book authored by Mr. Walter isaacson, The book reveals the story of people who invented the computer and the Internet, The book was published in “Great Britain by Simon & Schuster UK Ltd” publishes in 2014. The book details about the talents that allowed certain inventors and entrepreneurs who turn their visionary ideas into disruptive realities The author asserts that many innovators’ succeed in the history because they take the help of other contributors and work as a team. 5Mr. Vannevar Bush Mr. Douglas Engelbart Mr. Bill Gates Mr. Tim Berners Lee 6/3/2015
- 6. VII. INTERNET (Vannevar Bush) 6 Godfather of the Internet and of Information science (1890 – 1974) 6/3/2015 Mr .Vannevar Bush
- 7. Biography • Born in Chelsea, Massachusetts in 1890. • Graduated from Tufts College in 1913 with a B.S. and M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering. • PhD studies at Harvard Institute of Technology, received joint PhD degree in 1917. • Worked at National Research Council during World War I, developed anti-submarine warfare technologies. 76/3/2015
- 8. VANNEVAR BUSH’S TRIANGLE Internet was built by a partnership among three groups: the military, universities, and private corporations. What made the process even more fascinating was that this was not merely a loose- knit consortium, but each group was pursuing its own aims. During World War II, the three groups had been fused together into an iron triangle: the military- industrial- academic complex. The person most responsible for forging this assemblage was Mr.Vannevar Bush. 86/3/2015
- 9. ERA OF INTERNET The ARPANET was not an Internet, it was a network. Within few years, there were other packet- switched networks that were similar but not interconnected. In the early 1973 Mr. Robert came out with the remedy where in all the networks were interconnected. Having worked on the ARPANET and then PRNET (packet radio network in San-Fransisco), he made his mission possible to create a method to connect APRANET, PRENET and other packet networks, a system he and his colleagues called as “internetwork.” Later it was shortened to as “ internet.” 96/3/2015
- 10. VIII. PERSONAL COMPUTER Envisioned by Mr. Vannevar Bush in 1945 He said "Consider a future device for individual use, which is a sort of mechanized private file and library.” By the early 1970s innovative companies such as DEC made minicomputers, but they dismissed the idea of market for desktop models that could be owned and operated by ordinary folks. As a result, the personal computer revolution, when it erupted in the mid-1970s, was led by scruffy entrepreneurs who started companies with names like Altair and Apple. 106/3/2015
- 11. Mr. Vannevar Bush’s Ideas and Contributions to Information Science “As We May Think,” an article Mr. Bush published in July 1945 in Atlantic Monthly, lays out many of his ideas and visions for the future information age, many of which are focused on information science, many of which have yet to be fully developed or exploited. 116/3/2015
- 12. The Memex Machine • Bush’s Memex Machine, “a device in which a person can store all his books, records, and communications.” • “As it is mechanized it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility.” 12 The Memex Machine6/3/2015
- 13. Why is Vannevar Bush a luminary? • He was the first person to see the importance of venture capital and how angel investors, in collaboration with major research universities, could give rise to whole new industries. • Through one of his student, Mr. Frederick Terman, helped to create Silicon Valley. • His idea of associative stream gave rise to hypertext (Ted Nelson). • His predictions are readily apparent in everyday items such as the Ipod, the Ipad, etc. 136/3/2015
- 14. Douglas Engelbart (Personal Computer) Born on January 30, 1925, in Portland, Oregon. American engineer and inventor, and an early computer and Internet pioneer. 14 He is best known for his work on the challenges of human-computer interaction, resulting in the invention of the computer mouse and the development of hypertext, networked computers, and precursors to graphical user interfaces. Mr. Vannevar Bush and Mr. Douglas Engelbart demonstrated at The Mother of All Demos’ in 1968 in San Francisco.6/3/2015
- 15. Even before the availability of first commercial computer UNIVAC publicly, Mr. Engelbart brought to Bush’s vision that someday people would have their own terminals, which they could use to manipulate, store, and share information. This expansive ,conception was named as augmented intelligence. He worked on magnetic storage systems at the Stanford Research Institute, in 1957 on artificial intelligence, especially the quest to create a system that mimicked the neural networks of the human brain. 156/3/2015
- 16. Mr. Vannevar Bush had written “As We May Think” that was conceptualized that humans and computers should interact in real time through simple interfaces that included graphical screens, pointers, and input devices. Mr. Engelbart emphasized that his system wouldn’t be just for Mathematics : “Every person who does his thinking with symbolized concepts (whether in the form of the English language, photographs, formal logic or mathematics) should be able to benefit significantly.” 166/3/2015
- 17. Mr. Engelbart gave a demonstration on personal computer that humans could easily interact with in real time at a Computer industry conference in San Francisco. He showed nearly everything that a networked personal computer does today in the way back 1968 itself. The demo presented a clear contrast between the goal of artificial intelligence and that of augmented intelligence. The headline of the story from the conference in the next day’s San Francisco Chronicle was “Fantastic world of tomorrow’s computer”. 17 Mother of all Demos 6/3/2015

- 23. April 14th , 1974 Bill Gates, along with school friend Paul Allen, form MicroSoft® 23 When Gates asked Allen , what he thought it would be like to run a big company, Allen said he had no clue, but Gates declared that “May be we’ll have our own company someday.” One trait that differentiated the two was focus. Allen’s mind would flit among many ideas and passions, but Gates was a serial obsessor. 6/3/2015
- 24. ERA OF SOFTWARE For Gates, the magic of computers was not in their hardware circuits but in their software code. Gates and Allen set out to do on that December day in 1974 when they first saw the Popular Electronics cover was to create the software for personal computers. They wanted to shift the balance in the emerging industry so that the hardware would become an interchangeable commodity. 246/3/2015
- 25. IBM PARTNERSHIP IBM approached Microsoft in July 1980 regarding its upcoming personal computer. Gates referred them to Digital Research Institute (DRI) for the OS needed by IBM. A few weeks later Gates proposed using 86-DOS (QDOS) After adapting the operating system for the PC, Microsoft delivered to IBM as PC DOS in exchange for a one-time fee of $50,000. 256/3/2015

- 41. The WEB There was a limit to how popular the Internet could be, at least among the ordinary computer users, even after the advent of modems and the rise of online services made it possible for almost anyone to get connected. But just when the online service began opening up to the Internet in the early 1990s, a new method of posting and finding content miraculously appeared. 416/3/2015
- 42. Other Facts August 6, 1991 is the date that the web was a publicly available service on the internet. Tim Berners-Lee is now the director of the World Wide Web Consortium. The World Wide Web consortium is an international gathering where people meet to try to make the Web better. They want the web to reach its full potential. 2009- There are now over 100 billion live web pages. The World Wide Web began as a net worked info project at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee. 426/3/2015
