 The Pioneers Of I.T And Computing

As self-proclaimed technophiles, we here at OMNITEKK believe it is our duty to give reverence to some of the founding fathers of computing, as they have helped pioneer some of the most prolific technological phenomena we know of.

And without further ado- THE BEST OF THE BEST PIONEERS OF COMPUTING AND TECHNOLOGY

Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791-1872)

Our dearly beloved Samuel Morris developed the foundational tenets of coded language, namely Morse Code, the precursor to both the telegram and the internal hardware of the modern-day machines of new.

Morse Code utilized combinations of dots and dashes to represent alphabetical and alphanumerical codes of language, which would later become known in the computer world as a series of binary codes.

Alan M Turing (1912-1954)

Turing, who pioneered the concept of computations and computability, is best known as the man who cracked the German "ENIGMA" coding machines during world war II.

Alan is also known for writing two influential papers on the concept of what computers can I can't do, as well as designing the abstract model of what has been coined The Turing Machine.

Norbert Wiener (1894-1964)

Wiener, a mathematician from Harvard coined the term Cybernetics, hailed as the defining attributes of similarity between control and communication channels within the animal and machine (1948).

This concept laid the foundational descriptors of the relation between the biological processes in humans and animals relative to the theoretical mechanics of modern-day computers, robots and cobots.

John Borden (1908-1991) and Walter Brattan (1902-1987)

This dynamic duo, is best known for the construction of the amplifier - manufactured from slabs of germanium - the semiconductor material, which allows an electrical signal to be strengthened across communicatory channels.

This revolutionary invention, coined the most important invention of the 20th century, took us from the modern-day relay of old, to the transistors of new, which in today's microchip and graphical processing units, easily comprise hundreds of thousands, or even millions of units.

Jack Kilby (1923) and Robert Noyce (1927-1990)

Jack and Robert are famously revered as the co- inventors of the integrated circuit, commonly called the chip. (yeah folks, OMNITEKK means the microchip.

With the two major classes of microchips in use today being the  Complementary MOSFET CMOS ( pronounced Sea Moss), and  Transistor Transistor Logic chips or TTL (pronounced Tee Tee Ell ) integrated circuits.

These folks are certainly worthy of note, and we  especially hope our introduction to them has spawned further interest and exploration.

And until our next I.T. adventure my friends, OMNITEKK says be well.
