Lub Tsib Hlis 24, 1844, Samuel F. B. Morse xa thawj xov tooj: "Vajtswv tau ua dab tsi?" Cov kab lus, muab los ntawm phau Vajlugkub, raug xaiv los ntawm tus ntxhais ntawm Morse cov phooj ywg. Txij thaum ntawd los, txoj kev peb sib txuas lus tau hloov zuj zus mus rau qhov chaw uas cov cuab yeej peb (qee zaum) siv rau kev hu xov tooj tuaj yeem haum rau hauv peb lub hnab tshos thiab muaj lub zog ua haujlwm ntau dua li chav tsev computers ntawm 60s. Cov thev naus laus zis tshiab tau txuas nrog peb ntau txoj hauv kev, ua kom yooj yim rau kev sib txuas lus thiab mus ncig.
Tshaj li 175 xyoo dhau los, peb tau pom ntau yam ntawm cov thev naus laus zis tshiab. Ntawm no yog kaum ntawm qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws kev nce qib kev siv tshuab txij li xyoo 1844.
Tus Xov Tooj - 1876
Tsuas yog peb caug xyoo tom qab Morse xa thawj xov tooj, Alexander Graham Bell ua thawj tus xov tooj. Nws thawj lo lus yog: “Mr. Watson, tuaj ntawm no - Kuv xav pom koj. (Mr. Watson yog nws tus pab.) Thaum kawg, Tswb txoj kev tsim kho tau nthuav dav txoj hauv kev hu xov tooj rau tib neeg thoob ntiaj teb, tsis yog hauv chav tom ntej. Thiab tam sim no, tau kawg, peb feem ntau nqa smartphone lossis xov tooj ntawm tes txhua hnub.
Lub Teeb - 1880
Ob peb xyoos tom qab ntawd, Edison cia muaj lub teeb nrog lub teeb ci. Nws yog ib qho nyuaj rau kev txaus siab rau qhov zoo kawg nkaus invention no - txog thaum koj tab tom cuam tshuam nrog hluav taws xob hluav taws xob thiab koj lub teeb pom kev thaum hmo ntuj yog tswm ciab. Peb tuaj yeem zam tsis tau nyob hauv qhov tsaus ntuj nrog lub teeb ci ntse uas koj tuaj yeem qhib thiab tawm nrog tus pab cuam virtual xws li Alexa lossis Google Assistant
TV - 1927
Ua ntej teem caij TV thiab saib binge, cov yeeb yaj kiab ua yeeb yam yog huab tais. Lawv tseem yog qhov chaw zoo tshaj plaws rau kev pom cov yeeb yaj kiab blockbuster, tab sis qhov kev tsim tawm ntawm TV tau ua rau kev lom zem hauv tsev peb nyiam tam sim no. Thawj TV teeb yog xim dub thiab dawb; Tom qab ntawd tuaj xim TVs thiab cov chaw taws teeb tswj tau yooj yim.
Xyoo 1997, Fujitsu tau tso tawm thawj lub Plasma TV, plaub-nti-tuab qauv uas koj tuaj yeem nruab rau ntawm phab ntsa. Plasma nws thiaj li muab txoj hauv kev rau LCD thiab OLED thev naus laus zis; Nyob rau hauv 2014, LG thiab Samsung tau txiav txim siab tsim cov plasma TVs vim qhov kev thov qis dua. Ntau tus neeg saib cov yeeb yaj kiab thiab TV qhia ntawm lawv lub xov tooj smartphones, ntsiav tshuaj, lossis laptops, txawm hais tias TVs tiaj tus tseem nrov.
Personal Computers - 1970s
Thawj los txog raws li qhov peb xav txog hnub no yog cov tshuab zoo nkauj (lossis txawm tias yog cov khoom siv), lawv yog cov khoos phis tawj ntawm txhua lo lus.
Tus kheej lub khoos phis tawj tsis tau tshem tawm ntawm tus kheej lub siab kom txog thaum Apple qhia Apple II kab ntawm cov khoos phis tawj hauv xyoo 1977. Lawv tau muag hauv khw muag khoom thiab suav nrog software uas nthuav dav qhov nws tuaj yeem ua dhau qhov kev ua haujlwm yooj yim. Thawj daim ntawv tshaj tawm, ViscCalc, muaj nyob rau ntawm Apple II kab.
Lub khoos phis tawj tus kheej peb txhua tus paub niaj hnub no tau tawg thaum IBM tau tshaj tawm IBM PC hauv xyoo 1981. Thaum cov lag luam tau txais nws, tag nrho kev lag luam nthuav dav los tsim txhua yam khoom uas peb paub thiab siv niaj hnub no.
Ntiaj Teb Txoj Haujlwm Kev Ua Haujlwm - 1970s
Launched nyob rau hauv 1973, lub ntiaj teb no Positioning System (GPS) tau ua tiav nyob rau hauv 1995. Ameslikas hu ua Navstar GPS, lub US tsoom fwv muaj nws, thiab US Air Force ua nws. Lub kaw lus tuaj yeem triangulate cov ntaub ntawv thiab txheeb xyuas koj qhov chaw nyob, thiab nws lub zog rau GPS thiab cov apps uas tib neeg siv tam sim no mus ncig.
Internet: ARPANET - 1973
Nws nyuaj rau xav txog lub khoos phis tawj yam tsis muaj Internet lossis lub vev xaib. Nyob rau hauv thaum ntxov eighties, ARPANET, ib tug precursor rau hauv Internet, tau tsim nrog nyiaj txiag los ntawm US Department of Defense thiab Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (li no lub ntsiab lus). Lub network kaw hauv xyoo 1990. Lub Ntiaj Teb Wide Web (WWW) tau nrov nyob rau nruab nrab-90s, los ntawm cov kev pabcuam xws li AOL.
Nws yog ib txwm muaj rau tib neeg los sib sau ua ke ob nqe lus Is Taws Nem yog lub ntiaj teb lub computer network khiav cov txheej txheem kev sib txuas lus, thaum WWW muaj cov chaw pej xeem txuas nrog Is Taws Nem.
GPS Navigation - 1990s
Ua tsaug rau GPS (saib saum toj no), kev poob yog qhov tshwm sim tsis tshua muaj ntau dua.
Tam sim no, peb feem ntau siv GPS hauv daim ntawv qhia digital zoo li Google Maps. Koj tuaj yeem hais tias Google Maps tau coj GPS navigation rau koj lub desktop (thiab thaum kawg koj lub xov tooj ntawm tes), ua kev npaj mus ncig ua si thiab tshawb nrhiav cov nroog tshiab thiab thaj chaw ib puag ncig.
Navigation software tau hloov zuj zus ntxiv kom suav nrog cov ntaub ntawv tsheb khiav, caij tsheb thauj mus los, thiab kev taug kev thiab caij tsheb kauj vab kom tau txais los ntawm point A mus rau taw tes B txhua txoj kev koj nyiam.
Lub Koob Yees Duab - 1990s
Technically, thawj lub koob yees duab digital tau tsim los ntawm Kodak hauv xyoo 1970s. Nws siv sijhawm ib ntus ua ntej cov thev naus laus zis tau ua nws txoj hauv kev rau cov poj koob yawm txwv ntawm cov khoom peb siv niaj hnub no.
Kodak tau qhia nws thawj lub koob yees duab digital hauv xyoo 1991, tab sis nws tau teeb tsa ntawm lub koob yees duab Nikon. Los ntawm nruab nrab-1990s, cov koob yees duab digital tsis yog raws li lub cev ntawm lub koob yees duab zaj duab xis tau nkag tau yooj yim (txawm tias qhov zoo tsis zoo).
Cov koob yees duab digital muaj nyob txhua qhov chaw tam sim no, los ntawm lub koob yees duab kev ruaj ntseg mus rau smartphones, thiab laptops thiab desktop computers. Txawm tias qhov khoom kim tshaj plaws nrog lub koob yees duab kos hauv nws yog qhov zoo dua li cov koob yees duab thaum ntxov.
Web Browser - 1994
Ntawm lub vev xaib tau ua kom yooj yim dua nrog kev tuaj txog ntawm Mosaic, lub vev xaib browser uas muaj kev nkag siab ntau dua li nws cov thawj coj. Tau tshaj Windows, Mosaic tau nkag mus rau cov neeg coob coob, tsis yog hom tech nkaus xwb, tab sis Netscape Navigator nws thiaj li dethroned nws. Tab sis peb tuaj yeem ua tsaug rau Mosaic rau qhov muab peb cov browsers niaj hnub xws li Chrome thiab Firefox.
Social Media - 2004
Hlub nws lossis ntxub nws (lossis ob leeg), tab sis Facebook (thawj lub Facebook), uas tau pib tawm ntawm Mark Zuckerberg lub tsev so, yog thawj qhov kev tshaj tawm xov xwm kom tau txais txiaj ntsig thoob ntiaj teb. Los ntawm kev sib txuas nrog cov neeg koj tau mus kawm theem siab los npaj kev tawm tsam tawm tsam tsoomfwv, Facebook coj tib neeg los ua ke. Tau kawg, nws kuj ua rau txhua yam kev sib cav sib ceg, suav nrog kev hais lus ntxub thiab "xov xwm cuav," uas lub platform tawm tsam kom muaj.
Lub Ntiaj Teb Smartphone - 2007
Thaum lub xov tooj smartphones muaj nyob rau thaum ntxov 2000s, nws coj Apple coj lawv mus rau pawg neeg. Ua ntej Apple pib lub iPhone, Nokia muaj lub xov tooj ntawm tes game thiab txawm tias muaj cov khoom siv zoo li smartphone, tab sis cov neeg siv kev paub tsis txaus.
Thiab ib xyoos tom qab lub iPhone tso tawm xyoo 2007, Steve Jobs tshaj tawm App Store hauv 2008, uas hloov qhov kev ua si kom zoo. Tsis ntev, ntau lab tus tib neeg (thiab tam sim no billions ua tsaug rau Android thiab lwm yam kev khiav haujlwm) pib txhim kho software uas txuas ntxiv lub peev xwm ntawm lub khoos phis tawj hauv lawv lub hnab ris.
Cov npe ua ntej tsis tag, tab sis nws suav nrog qee qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws thiab kev tsim kho tshiab ntawm 175 xyoo dhau los, uas cuam tshuam rau peb lub neej niaj hnub. Yog li, dab tsi ntxiv? Nws tuaj yeem yog tsheb tsav tus kheej, pab neeg hlau, lossis qee yam uas peb tseem tsis tau xav txog.
