The History of Computer Storage
Innovation from 1928 to Today
Humankind has always tried to find ways to store information. In today s modern age, people have become accustomed to technological terminology, such as CD-ROM, USB Key, and DVD. Floppy disks and cassette tapes have been forgetting except for the most nostalgic. Subsequent generations have simply forgotten about the technology that helped evolve the efficient computer storage systems we all use everyday. As time humanity continues to push the envelope of innovation to create new possibilities.

1928 Magnetic Tape
Fritz Pfleumer, a German engineer, patented magnetic tape in 1928. He based his invention off Vlademar Poulsen's magnetic wire.
1932 Magnetic Drum
G. Taushek, an Austrian innovator, invented the magnetic drum in 1932.
He based his invention off a discovery credited to Fritz Pfleumer.
1946 Williams Tube
Professor Fredrick C. Williams and his colleagues developed the first random access computer memory at the University of Manchester located in the United Kingdom. He used a series of electrostatic cathode-ray tubes for digital storage. A storage of 1024 bits of information was successfully implemented in 1948.
Selectron Tube
In 1948, The Radio Corporation of America (RCA) developed the
Selectron tube, an early form of computer memory, which resembled the
Williams-Kilburn design.
1949 Delay Line Memory
The delay line memory consists of imparting an information pattern into a delay path. A closed loop forms to allow for the recirculation of information if the end of the delay path connects to the beginning through amplifying and time circuits. A delay line memory
