July 20 marked the 45th<\/sup> year of NASA\u2019s alleged successful land on the moon. Many controversy have circulated about this journey to the moon and back, but we are not writing this article to dwell on those topics. Rather, we will take you down to memory lane and show you a world prior to tablets, android phones and Google glasses.<\/p>\n

The 60\u2019s as a leap in technological capabilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"ENIAC<\/a><\/p>\n

You might not know it, but the \u2018very first computer\u2019 called ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator)<\/a> was developed between the years 1943 and 1945. Soon after, it replaced the role of women who were employed to calculate firing tables. Within a few years, universities and governments were funding the development of computers. Thus by the end of 1950\u2019s, quite a handful of influential people already had access to it \u2013 the rise of IBM.<\/p>\n

The birth of modern electronics<\/h2>\n

A significant invention during this decade is that of the transistor. With it, more efficient computers and processing devices became a reality and as you are guessing the invention of the \u2018microchip.\u2019 All of these was made possible because of the diligence and dedication of NASA.<\/p>\n

The combined resources of NASA and the futuristic thinking of IBM led 3500 employees working hard to install 360 mainframe computers at the Goddard Space Flight Center. This was powerful enough to launch a rocket into space and land three men to the moon.<\/p>\n

The Catch: Your iPhone is more powerful than the computational power built by IBM in the 60\u2019s<\/h2>\n
