the birth of computer technology.<\/p>\n<p>Charles Simonyi, the founder and CEO of Intentional Software Company and creator of some of Microsoft\u2019s flagship applications, was joined by several other heroes in the history of technology. Brian Rakowski, who helped develop Google\u2019s internet browser, Google Chrome, and Carsten Gomard, CEO of Netcompany, an IT consulting firm also spoke at the day-long event.<\/p>\n<h2>From megapixels to mega-fun<\/h2>\n<p>Simonyi, who was present in the development of some of the first computers, walked the audience through the technical advances made in the field of computer science throughout the years. Outside the auditorium of H C \u00d8rsted Instituttet in Universitetsparken 5, attendees visited a small museum showcasing the computers Simonyi mentioned in his presentation.<\/p>\n<p>After presentations, members of the department performed electronic music with an interface they designed themselves.<\/p>\n<p>For photos of the event, see the University Post’s <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/gallery\/computer-scientists-celebrates-years-useful-software\" _blank>gallery<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Uni-avis@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay up to date with news and upcoming events at the University of Copenhagen.
