Timeline Of Computing 2020–present
Significant events in computing include events relating directly or indirectly to software, hardware and wetware. Currently mostly excluded are: * events in general robotics * events about uses of computational tools in biotechnology and similar fields (except for improvements to the underlying computational tools) as well as events in media-psychology except when those are directly linked to computational tools Currently excluded are: * events in computer insecurity/ hacking incidents/ breaches/ Internet conflicts/malware if they aren't also about milestones towards computer security * events about quantum computing and communication * economic events and events of new technology policy beyond standardization 2023 Software-hardware systems Software AI software *News outlets report on a preprint that describes the development of a large language model software that can answer medical questions with a 67.6% accuracy on and nearly matched human clinician performance wh ...

Computing
Computing is any goal-oriented activity requiring, benefiting from, or creating computing machinery. It includes the study and experimentation of algorithmic processes, and development of both hardware and software. Computing has scientific, engineering, mathematical, technological and social aspects. Major computing disciplines include computer engineering, computer science, cybersecurity, data science, information systems, information technology and software engineering. The term "computing" is also synonymous with counting and calculating. In earlier times, it was used in reference to the action performed by mechanical computing machines, and before that, to human computers. History The history of computing is longer than the history of computing hardware and includes the history of methods intended for pen and paper (or for chalk and slate) with or without the aid of tables. Computing is intimately tied to the representation of numbers, though mathematical conc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
