What was the first!

10-First Programming Language in the World-

 The first programming language for a computer was Plankalkül, .Plankalkül, pronounced “Plan Calculus”.Plankalkül was created by a German engineer Konrad Zuse for engineering purposes between 1942 and 1945.the literal meaning of Plankalkül, it means “formal system (kalkül) for planning (plan)”.

In 1972, Plankalkül was comprehensively published and implemented in a dissertation. Later in 1998 and 2000, there were instances of other independent implementations.

9-First Web Browser in the World-

 Tim Berners-Lee is credited with developing in 1990  the first web browser, called WorldWideWeb (no spaces) and later renamed Nexus.
Tim Berners-Lee invented both the HTML markup language and the HTTP protocol used to request and transmit web pages between web servers and web browsers.

This first web browser had a graphical user interface and would be recognizable to most people today as a web browser. However, WorldWideWeb did not support graphics embedded in pages when it was first released.

8-First Search Engine in the World-

The first known search engine has made its place in history with the name of Archie.Archie, which is somehow short for “archive” because Archie followed the Unix naming standards, was written in 1990 by Alan Emtage, who was studying at McGill University in Montreal at the time.

The Archie search engine was a simple search engine that would keep an index of the file lists of all public FTP servers it could find.One of the places which still hosts an Archie search engine is the University of Warsaw. 

7-First Digital Computer in the World-

ENIAC is the first Digital Computer  in the world developed by  the  University of Pennsylvania’s John Mauchy & J. Presper Eckert under a 1943 contract with the U.S Army.the ENIAC stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer.

ENIAC was a modular computer, composed of individual panels to perform different functions. Twenty of these modules were accumulators that could not only add and subtract, but hold a ten-digit decimal number in memory.

6-First Motorcycle/Bike in the World-

The first internal combustion, petroleum fueled motorcycle was the Daimler Reitwagen. It was designed and built by the German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Bad Cannstatt, Germany in 1885.

The inventors called their invention the Reitwagen (“riding car”). It was designed as an expedient test bed for their new engine, rather than a true prototype vehicle.

5-First Car in the World-

The three-wheeled Benz Patent Motor Car was the first car which invented by Carl Benz on 1886.This vehicle was  powered by a gas engine.

It was Benz’s wife, though, who cemented the car’s place in our world with a brilliant public demonstration. She took the third model of Motorwagen (which by then was able to produce 2bhp) for the first long-distance road trip ever made, supposedly without her husband’s knowledge. Mrs Bertha Benz and her two children drove the car through Germany for a total of 121 miles, proving the model’s feasibility as a method of long-distance transport. Benz then showed his Patent-Motorwagen at the 1889 World’s Fair in Paris.

4-First Movie in the World-

The credit of world first feature length movie goes to The Story of Kelly Gang. It is a 1906 Australian silent film that traces the exploits of 19th century  bushranger and outlaw Ned Kellyand his gang. It was directed by Charles Tait and shot in and around the city of Melbourne. 

The film ran for more than an hour with a reel length of about 1,200 metres (4,000 ft), making it the longest narrative film yet seen in the worldis a 1906 Australian silent film that traces the exploits of 19th-century bushranger and outlaw Ned Kelly and his gang. 

3-First Movie Theater in the World-

In 1905, John P. Harris and Harry Davis opened a five-cents-admission movie theater in a Pittsburgh storefront, naming it the Nickelodeon,it was the first Movie Theater. 
Together, Harris and Davis transformed their Smithfield Street storefront into a functional, 96-seat theatre.

2-First Animated Movie in the World-

Many consider Walt Disney’s 1937 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the first animated feature film, though at least seven films were released earlier. However, Disney’s film was the first one completely made using hand-drawn animation with first full-length animated feature.

1-First Video Game in the World-

In October 1958, Physicist William Higinbotham created what is thought to be the first video game. It was a very simple tennis game, similar to the classic 1970s video game Pong, and it was quite a hit at a Brookhaven National Laboratory open house.
