This document provides a brief history of computers and cyber warfare from 1801 to 2016. Some key events and inventions highlighted include:
- Joseph Marie inventing a loom using punch cards in 1801, laying the foundations for computer programming.
- Alan Turing conceptualizing a 'universal machine' in 1936, which is the essence of a modern computer.
- ENIAC being built in 1943-1944 as the first general-purpose electronic digital computer.
- The invention of the transistor in 1947, the integrated circuit in 1958, and microchips advancing computing power.
- The first internet message being sent in 1969, though cyber vulnerabilities were recognized as early as a 1969 report.
