(0)
Bring the history of computing to life with this Story of Computers classroom timeline display, featuring 18 posters that trace the development of computing from the 1642 invention of Pascal’s Calculator by Blaise Pascal to the future possibilities of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Designed for KS3 and KS4 Computer Science classrooms, this display helps students visualise how technology has evolved over time, highlighting major milestones such as the early ideas of Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine, the wartime codebreaking work of Alan Turing, the development of the World Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee, the rise of open-source software led by Linus Torvalds, the emergence of search engines created by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and the modern era of mobile and AI computing. The posters are designed to be clear and visually engaging, making them perfect for a timeline wall display or for supporting lessons on the history of computers, computing pioneers, and future technologies such as quantum computing, neuromorphic chips, and brain-computer interfaces. This resource helps students understand how innovations build on earlier discoveries and encourages discussion about how computing may continue to evolve in the future.
