Apollo Guidance Computer becomes first computer to be implemented with integrated circuits

  • Apollo Guidance Computer becomes first computer to be implemented with integrated circuits

    • Designed at the MIT Instrumentation Lab (now the Charles Stark Draper Lab) by a team led by Eldon Hall
    • Directly influenced by the Poseidon and Polaris missile guidance systems
    • Integrated circuits were considered a huge (and expensive) gamble at this time
      • In 1960, ICs were ~$1000 each from Texas Instruments


Development of CGIS (Canada Geographic Information System) starts, led by Roger Tomlinson

  • Development of CGIS (Canada Geographic Information System) starts, led by Roger Tomlinson

    • System was needed to analyze Canada's national land inventory and pioneered many aspects of GIS
    • A very significant milestone
    • First widespread use of “geographic information system” terminology (1966)
    • Over 40 people actively involved in developing CGIS between 1960-1969
