History of
Information and Communication Technology
The
development of human civilization is accompanied by the development of the
delivery of information ( hereinafter referred to as information technology) ,
starting from the pictures meaningless in the walls of the cave
1. Prehistoric Period
At this time , information technology and
communications made by humans to function as a system for the recognition of
human forms that are familiar . To illustrate the information obtained , they
described it on the walls of the cave about hunting and animal prey .
a. 3000 BC
For the first time , the writing used by the Sumerians
using symbols formed from piktografi as letters. Symbols or letters also has
the form of sound ( mention of ) different so it can be a word, sentence , and
language .
b . 2900 BC
In 2900 BC , the ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphics
. Hieroglyphics is the language of symbols , where each phrase represented by
different symbols . If the symbols are combined into one circuit , it will
produce a different meaning . Hieroglyphic writing and language is more
advanced than Sumerian writing .
c . 500 BC
In 500 BC , humans have known how to make papyrus
fibers from trees that grow around the Nile . Papyrus fibers can be used as
paper . Paper made from papyrus tree fiber becomes the media for writing or
media to convey information that is more powerful and flexible than the
previous slab of clay is also used as an information medium .
d . 105 M
At this time , the Chinese managed to
find the paper . The paper discovered by the Chinese in this period is the
paper we know today . This paper made from bamboo fibers are crushed,
filtered , washed , then flattened and dried ..
2. Modern Period (
1400 s.d. Now )
a. 1455
In 1455 , for the first time Johann Gutenberg
developed the printing press by using a plate letters made of iron and can be
changed in a frame made of wood .
b . 1830
Augusta Lady Byron wrote the first computer program in
the world . He worked with Charles Babbage using analytical engine designed so
that they can enter data , process data , and generates output in the form of a
card
1991 - Present
Business systems in the IT field first occurs when
CERN charge a fee from its members to overcoming operational costs . In 1992 ,
begins to form the Internet community and the introduction of the World Wide
Web ( www ) by CERN . In 1994 , the growth of the Internet drove very fast and
began reaching into the various facets of human life and to be . In 1995 ,
public companies began to be allowed into the provider to buy in backbone
networks . This step began development of information technology , particularly
the internet and research to develop systems and more sophisticated tools .
