Here it is, 12 sites that play an important role in the history of the computer world.

3. 232 Santa Margarita Avenue, Menlo Park, California, USA
The last place located in Silicon Valley. Still shaped garage, here the duo Larry Pageand Sergey Brin do research while developing the Google search engine.

4. CERN - Jenewa, SwissA laboratory and a nuclear research center whose property was huge. This place ismore famous for the Large Hadron Collider machine, a tool that scientists investigatingthe origins of the universe. But probably not many who remember that CERN is also the birthplace of the World Wide Web. In 1990, physicist, Tim Berners-Lee, and systemdesigner, Robert Cailliau, design concept-based information system of hypertext links(hypertext links) which they called "Mesh". Here, too, still kept the original web serverbuilt by Berners-Lee, called NeXT.
5. Bletchley Park - Bletchley Town, Inggris
The location of Britain's National Museum of Computing, where dipamerkannyaColossus machine. One of the first electronic binary computer that can be programmedto break secret codes. This machine is used in the British army during World War II in an attempt to dismantle the Nazi secret messages coded Lorenz.
6. Xerox PARC - Palo Alto, California, USA
Master of many important discoveries in the IT world. Graphical user interface (GUI) firstmade here, even the ethernet cable connected the first time in this place. Laser printer?Text editor is WYSIWYG? Adobe Systems? Ubiquitous computing? Total found at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC).
7. Ames Lab, Iowa State University - Ames, Iowa, USA
8. Moore School of Engineering, University of Pennsylvania - Philadelphia, USA
Place of birth of the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer), a morepopular name to answer the question "What is the world's first computer?". Launched in1946, ENIAC is the first electronic system capable of meeting the requirements of modern computer that was brought up Alan Turing, a feat that has not achieved the ABCcomputer. The author of John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert.
9. IBM's "Main Plant" - Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
In this mill, until recently, IBM's design process, production, and launch the products itsmainframe computer. One is the IBM 701. Ago in 1953, the computer is staying digadang as high-speed computer the most advanced and most flexible in the world.Then there were also families System/360 mainframe. One model, S/360 Model 75,used NASA for the historic Apollo 11 project.
10. Room 2713, Dobie Hall, University of Texas - Austin, Texas
After visiting the museum, laboratory, and factories, it's time again "grounded" to theuniversity dormitory. In room 2713, a student named Michael Dell sell computershomemade first time through the intermediary letter in 1984. The effort that he pioneeredhas now transformed into a vendor Dell.

Kirkland House, Harvard University - Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
12. Lyman Residence Hall, Stanford University - Stanford, California, USALast stop. In this hostel Lyman, Larry Page ever to inhabit a room where the emergence of inspiration to create a search engine Google. Together with Sergey Brin, they finalize the ideas in the room before finally moving to Susan Wojcicki's garage (see no. 3).From initially just for dissertation work, Google's unexpected can reap even greatercommercial success.
