The ID entities of the technology realm

Technology and its interdependence

Wikipedia defines an interdependent relationship where participants may be emotionally, economically, ecologically or morally reliant on to each other.

It is possible to make up a list of all the Key players of the digital ecosystem since day one.

Heard about all of them in my interest of everything tech, the nerd as the outsiders refers to, and could begin a Newtonian linear trajectory (which is eventually not precise in our multilateral world or by the space-time of Einstein theory, or by the Butterfly effect or even so by the chaos theory of dynamic systems ) however to emphasize who did what and when since the pioneer ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer) which was invented by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania and began construction in 1943 to be completed by the year 1946 marks what should be know as the beginning of it all...

The ENIAC is considered to be the first computer and was initially an all-electronic calculating machine. measuring 1,800 square feet which used about 18,000 vacuum tubes, weighing almost 50 tons.

Then by the late 60's there appears the articles of Andrew Grove which influence the electronics manufacturing industries worldwide, the person who drove the growth of the Silicon Valley and was the main influence of semiconductor pioneers Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, founders of Intel.

By the mid 70's there was the success of the very expensive Commodore PET 2001 Series PC and the Apple II , when manufacturer of consumer electronics introduce the home computer to the market.

In the early 80's, 1981 to be precise, there was the Osborne 1, the closest to what we know today as the laptop. It weighed 10.7 kg, had no battery, a 5 inches CRT screen, and dual 5.25 in single-density floppy drives. Very funny to see it these days.

Later in the same year in a slightly small version, the Epson HX-20 was announced, and 2 years later, Bill Gates showed up with an improved model, to register the birth of the tablet, which used the Windows XP Tablet operating system.

Bill Gates tablet model was adapt to massive production by Lenovo to be released as the new millennium product in the year 2000. Later in 2002 Fujitsu,made the XP tablet .

In between those innovations, since 1983 Hartmut Esslinger, an influential designer who helped make the Apple IIc computer (Apple's first Portable Computer) initiate the research to what Steve Jobs become famous for – the iPhone .

So far we have J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly , Andrew Grove , Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, Bill Gates, Hartmut Esslinger's , Steve Jobs and the hardware development available and to everyone (who could afford it), those hardware developments leads to...

Back to 1989, Timothy John Berners-Lee release in short , The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, and hypermedia information systems.

HTTP become the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web and the first browser called WorldWideWeb was later renamed Nexus followed by Marc Andreessen, Jamie Zawinski and others contributors who later went on to create the famous Netscape browser, the first to be available for Microsoft Windows, the Macintosh, and the Unix X System, which made it possible to bring the world wide web to the masses.

After the innovation of the HTTP and the browsers, the world wide web opens up to the creativity of websites designs and most of them were at colleges, but before most of them existed there was Archie, the first search engine created in 1990 by Alan Emtage and by 1998 Larry Page and Sergey Brin PhD students of Stamford University release the most famous of all search engines, the well know and eficient, Google.

Slightly before that , there was Six Degrees, considered the first social network, it first appeared in 1997 and lasts until 2001.

Six Degrees allowed users to create a profile and then friend other users.

Inspired by the Six Degrees creative idea, by February 2004 Mark Zuckerberg with his fellow Harvard University student Eduardo Saverin, founded the most successful social network of today - Facebook.

In the same year the social network Orkut also appears in the web space. Although Orkut non longer exists, Büyükkökten, Orkut co-founder, is still active today and launched recently a new social network called Hello, a social network available only for the smart phones platform.

One year after Facebook release, in June 2005 we find the merge of Aaron H. Swartz - the Infogami creator who with Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman releases the amazing Reddit.

Then by July 2006 Twitter was launch. Designed by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams twitter rapidly gained worldwide recognition.

By 2007 appears Satoshi Nakamoto paper (a man that does not exist) and Bitcoin, the blockchain and the crypto, the successful digital currency of our present day

In it's 'footsteeps' Charlie Lee with Litecoin, Vitalik Buterin with Ethereum, the Neo project, Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb and the Ripple protocol (RTXP), Jamyn Edis with Dash, our beloved Steemit and all the many alt coins that we enjoy to follow.

Among all of it, among it all, there is also John McAfee, the cyber security and software pioneer.

McAfee is a name known inside the digital ecosystem because of the sales success of the software and antivirus products - McAFEE .

Last year the former programmer for NASA stated that he's also involved with the digital currency because 'it will eventually become the standard currency for the world.'

Not much popular as a person, John McAfee did recently, an amazing, interesting and very intimate interview for Alt Report which is a must for any crypto enthusiast, nerd or tech guru out there to watch.

Well this is an example of an interdependent post, where all are equally important, a chain that could not miss a single one of them otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today, at this present moment and Guarani- GUA would never exist.

Could only be grateful for it all.

Thank You

Namaste
