A Look at HP Computers
Do you think ‘HP Computers’ is a fancy term for ‘high powered’ or ‘hexiglobulaterly performing’ technology? If so, you could be forgiven with the baffling and ever-expanding lexicon of techno-vocabulary we’re struggling to absorb.
But H and P are simply the initials of two of the greatest pioneers in computer technology. To neglect to mention HP Computers in a conversation about the history of computer science would be like forgetting to bring up George Washington in a discussion of the history of the USA.
Young Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard left Stanford University in 1934, fired by the idea of HP Computers. In 1939, they formed their Hewlett-Packard Company, burning the midnight oil in a rented garage in Palo Alto, California.
Soon, they had produced the technology that Disney used for his groundbreaking animation, ‘Fantasia’. Nineteen years later they were credited with manufacturing the world’s first PC and inventing what is now Silicon Valley.
They had to call their early PCs ‘desk-top calculators’ because high-tech gurus would not accept compact HP Computers for what they were … they looked nothing like the bulky, tape-swirling prototype machines popular with technologists and science fiction movie producers of the time.
Now HP Computers is the largest manufacturer of PCs on the planet with 150,000 employees world-wide and a massive home base a mere stone’s throw from the little garage where Bill and Dave first tossed around their world-changing ideas.
HP Computers is newly renowned for home and office computer networking. Their revolutionary HP Computers Gateway is so advanced and simple, it can be installed in half an hour, linking several PCs to allow sharing of data and hardware by cable or wireless … a pipe dream to anyone but Bill and Dave sixty-five years ago in that tiny garage where the future was built.
