Now we can get any information anywhere, anytime on our mobile phone, this has made our life so easy. Internet revolution, mobility revolution, computer invention all have been possible beacuse of some series of past events & thus, I decided to start the series of articles to explore, curate and present some of such path-breaking incidents which has happened in the past and which has kind of changed the life of the HumanKind.
1. Allen Turing Was Born

3. Konrad Zuse Was Born:
Konrad Zuse was born in Germany on **22nd June 1910.**He was one of the pioneer of computer revolution, his most significant work was Plankalkul : a plan calculus the , the first algorithmic programming language which he started working in 1940. Seven years earlier, Zuse developed and built the world’s first binary digital computing device, the Z1. He completed the first fully functional program-controlled (by a punched paper tape) electromechanical digital computer, the Z3, in 1941.
