timescale.infoThe history of computer science
From counting boards and the first algorithms to deep learning: the theory, machines, languages, algorithms, systems, networks, software practice, security and AI that make up computer science, in calendar dates. Moments are tagged and colored by subfield; eras are shown as spans, and links connect ideas to what they led to. Summaries are original; each moment links to its Wikipedia articles as sources. Dates marked approximate say so.
