When Hewlett-Packard (HP) was founded in 1939, the world was a different place. There were no fully electronic computers. Only industrial size printers were printers. The Palo Alto in California consisted mostly of orchards. It took decades for the Internet to succeed.
HP celebrates its 82nd birthday this year!
History of HP Information
In the 1930s, American culture was dominated by sound films and radio. This technology was made possible by electronic signals. It's easy to see why young Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard went on to study electrical engineering at Stanford University.
1934
Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard become friends during a two-week camping trip.
1938
Bill and Dave work part-time building accessories in a Palo Alto garage. Disney buys 8 HP 8 oscillators
1939
Bill and Dave use a coin advantage to decide between "Hewlett-Packard" or "Packard-Hewlett". Bill and Dave formalize their company in the 1940s. They laid the foundation for HP's future success and later pioneered the business innovations followed by many technology companies.
1940
Switch to the leased facilities at HP Palo Alto.
1942
HP establishes a pioneering health care plan for its employees. HP uses an open floor plan in its office. It provides versatility but unexpectedly promotes collaboration and creativity. Many technology companies today use open floor plans.
1947
The business will launch on August 18th.
The electronics industry expanded In the 1950s, American culture expanded exponentially with television, rock and roll, and car culture. The technology industry is also expanding. Due to the success of HP, various technology companies were established in the state of Santa Clara.
1951
HP produces 524A high frequency counter. This type of signal measurement product will earn billions for HP.
1957
HP goes public, selling shares for $ 16.
The company is building its first HP-owned building at the Stanford Research Park. It is designed to enhance employee comfort and creativity.
In the 1960s, America developed a new course. Civil rights leaders in society are moving towards a brighter future. In science, America reaches for the stars and lands on the moon. HP declares its existence across borders.
1959
HP goes global and establishes facilities in Switzerland and Germany.
1963
Space exploration is fast-paced, and HP is finding a frequency synthesizer used in deep-space vehicles.
1964
The company manufactures the atomic clock during HP's 25th year. With the ability to coordinate international time in millions of seconds, it is the most accurate watch ever invented.
1966
HP Labs opens. HP Labs conducts research on new technologies. In the same year that it was launched, HP Labs produced LED light emitting diodes (LEDs).
The computer age begins
The first personal computers came in the 1960s and late 1970s. HP is at the forefront.
1968
HP produces its first "personal computer", the HP 9100A, a scientific calculator. Ads for the calculator use the term "personal computer".
1974
HP Introduces The World's First Programmable Pocket Caller
1977
Journalists used the term "Silicon Valley" to describe a group of emerging technology companies in the state of Santa Clara. HP technology makes accessible. The purpose of HP is to change all that.
1980
HP produces its first computer, the HP-85. It has intelligent terminals and can even communicate with other computers.
1983
Introducing the HP-150 touchscreen computer, which allows users to navigate the interface by touching the screen.
1984
The first HP laser jet was released and soon became the world's most popular laser printer.
1991
HP builds an affordable color printer with the HP Deskjet 500C.
1994
HP manufactures the first all-office office device, the HP OfficeJet. It can print, fax and copy.
HP LaserJet, Deskjet and Officejet printers are still popular today!
A new millennium
In 1996, half a flag was flown across Silicon Valley to crew to mourn the death of Dave Packard. Bill Hewlett died in 2001 and received a similar tribute. Despite the absence of Bill and Dave, HP® continues to innovate as the Internet ages.
2001
Intel and HP have teamed up to develop Italian architecture that develops computers from 32 to 64 bits.
2004
NASA uses an image compression algorithm developed by HP Labs to create high-resolution images of Mars transmitted by NASA's Spirit Rover.
2007
HP V aims to recycle 1 billion pounds of hardware
Sin achieves.
palo Alto's original HP garage is listed in the National Archives of Historic Places as the "Birthplace of Silicon Valley".
