The history of coding is long and complex, but some key milestones include: The invention of the first mechanical computers in the 19th century, which were used to perform complex calculations. The development of the first programming languages in the 1950s, such as FORTRAN and LISP, which made it easier for humans to write instructions for computers. The invention of the first computer mouse in the 1960s, which greatly improved the ease of using graphical user interfaces. The development of the personal computer in the 1970s and 1980s, which made computing accessible to the masses. The widespread adoption of the Internet in the 1990s, which greatly expanded the reach of computers and made it possible for people to communicate and share information across the globe.
