These leaps in technological innovation resulted in the 1966 development of the Apollo Guidance Computer, the 1971 invention of the 8-inch floppy disk, and the 1977 introduction of the Apple II personal computer system. The developments outlined in the materials comprised here served as the foundation of our modern technological age.
