World's First Microprocessor (1971): Intel 4004<img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2n864qv.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> In November, 1971, a company called Intel publicly introduced the world's first single chip microprocessor, the Intel 4004 (U.S. Patent #3,821,715), invented by Intel engineers Federico Faggin, Ted Hoff, and Stan Mazor. After the invention of integrated circuits revolutionized computer design, the only place to go was down -- in size that is. The Intel 4004 chip took the integrated circuit down one step further by placing all the parts that made a computer think (i.e. central processing unit, memory, input and output controls) on one small chip. Programming intelligence into inanimate objects had now become possible. 14. World's First Magazine (1731): The Gentleman's Magazine <img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/2vkdsvq.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The Gentleman's Magazine, first published in 1731, in London, is considered to have been the first magazine. Edward Cave, who edited The Gentleman's Magazine under the pen name "Sylvanus Urban", was the first to use the term "magazine", on the analogy of a military storehouse of varied materiel, originally derived from the Arabic makazin "storehouses" . It ceased publication in September, 1907. 15.World's First Photograph (1826): "View from the Window at Le Gras" <img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/2ztd8vt.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Centuries of advances in chemistry and optics, including the invention of the camera obscura, set the stage for the worlds first photograph. In 1826, French scientist Joseph Nicphore Nipce, took that photograph, titled View from the Window at Le Gras at his familys country home. Nipce produced his photo a view of a courtyard and outbuildings seen from the houses upstairs window”by exposing a bitumen-coated plate in a camera obscura for several hours on his windowsill. </blockquote>
