IBM Centennial: It Has Been 100 Years of International Business Machines
…even if the company did start with the name Tabulating Machine Company. It’s 2011 and IBM is 100 years old.
Get ready for 13 minutes of whirlwind tour of IBM history through narration and photographs.
We can thank IBM for demonstrating an early form of e-mail in the 1940s, and even some of the first Scantrons (for anyone who has ever filled in bubbles on sheets for school tests.)
Only half way through the video and I’m already out of breath with my mind racing along with the feel of the keyboard beneath my fingertips. The PC was introduced by IBM in 1981; but computation and corporate computers started long, long before that with simpler devices.
RAMDAC, Fortran, the IBM 1401, the Selectric—it’s hard to keep up with the ever developing timeline. It could certainly said that IBM played and marched the field when it came to computing technology.
Today, as we stand on the shoulders of giants with our supercomputer video game consoles, and Kinect peripherals, we can still look back and smile at the power of human ingenuity and 100 years of innovative imagination.
