Amaya Toman Ngeshwa, umlando wezobuchwepheshe uhlanganisa nezenzakalo ezidabukisayo. Sizokhumbula omunye wabo esiqeshini sanamuhla sochungechunge lwethu "lomlando" - ngoJanuwari 7, 1943, umsunguli u-Nikola Tesla washona. Engxenyeni yesibili ye-athikili, sizoqhubekela phambili iminyaka engamashumi amabili futhi sikhumbule ukwethulwa kohlelo lwe-Sketchpad.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
U-Nikola Tesla wafa (1943)
NgoJanuwari 7, 1943, u-Nikola Tesla, umsunguli, isazi sefiziksi nomklami wemishini kagesi, washona eNew York eneminyaka engu-86. U-Nikola Tesla wazalwa ngoJulayi 10, 1856 eSmiljan kubazali baseSerbia. Ngemva kokuphothula esikoleni sohlelo lolimi, u-Nikola Tesla waqala ukufunda i-physics nezibalo eGraz. Kakade phakathi nezifundo zakhe, ama-cantors aqaphela ithalenta likaTesla futhi amnikeza usizo ekuhlolweni kwe-physics. Ehlobo lika-1883, uTesla wakha injini yokuqala ye-AC. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, u-Nikola Tesla waqeda isemester eyodwa yokufunda eCharles University yasePrague, wabe esehlanganyela ocwaningweni lukagesi eBudapest, kwathi ngo-1884 wazinza unomphela e-United States. Lapha wasebenza e-Edison Machine Works, kodwa ngemva kokungavumelani no-Edison, wasungula inkampani yakhe ebizwa ngokuthi i-Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing, eyayihlanganyela ekukhiqizeni nasekugunyazweni kobunikazi bokuthuthukiswa kwezibani ze-arc. Kodwa uTesla waxoshwa enkampanini ngemva kwesikhashana, futhi ngemva kweminyaka embalwa waba nesandla ngokutholakala kwakhe ekusungulweni kwe-AC induction motor. Waqhubeka nokuzinikela ngokujulile ocwaningweni nasekusungulweni kwakhe, enamalungelo obunikazi acishe abe ngamakhulu amathathu esikweletu sakhe.
Sethula i-Sketchpad (1963)
NgoJanuwari 7, 1963, u-Ivan Sutherland wethula i-Sketchpad - enye yezinhlelo zokuqala zekhompiyutha ye-TX-0 evumela ukukhohliswa okuqondile nokusebenzisana nezinto esikrinini sekhompyutha. I-Sketchpad ithathwa njengenye yezandulela ezibaluleke kakhulu zezinhlelo zekhompyutha eziyingcaca. I-Sketchpad yathola ukusetshenziswa kwayo ikakhulukazi emkhakheni wokusebenza ngemidwebo yesayensi neyezibalo, kamuva yasebenza njengesisekelo sezithombe zekhompiyutha, ukuxhumana kwezinhlelo zokusebenza zekhompyutha kanye nezinhlelo zokusebenza zesofthiwe eziphakathi kobuchwepheshe besimanje.
