design for business application produced
in the United States. It was designed
principally by J. Presper Eckert and
John Mauchly, the inventors of the
ENIAC.

Hewlett Packard 9100A

Is an early programmable
calculator, which is first
appearing in 1968. It was
considered as the earliest
documented use of the term
"Personal Computer". And the
development of Hewlett
Packard 9100A started in 1965
at Palo Alto.
Apple 1 (1976)
Apples first computer, Steve
Wozniak, while working at HP,
built the apple 1 computer
from scratch. He finished his
work in March 1976, Steve
Wozniak design the apple 1 as
his personal computer to use
the ARPANET and play
games.
PROJECTORS
LCD
Liquid crystal display (LCD), electronic
display device that operates by applying
a varying electric voltage to a layer of
liquid crystal, thereby inducing changes
in its optical properties. The LCD
projector was invented by New York
inventor Gene Dolgoff. He began
working on it in college in 1968 as a
way to produce a video projector that
would be brighter than the then-
available 3-CRT projectors.
OHP
An overhead projector (often abbreviated
to OHP), like a film or slide projector,
uses light to project an enlarged image on
a screen, allowing the view of a small
document or picture to be shared with a
large audience. In 1853, French
physicist Edmond Becquerel developed
the first known overhead projection
apparatus. It was demonstrated by French
instrument maker and inventor Jules
Duboscq in 1866.
