  1. The History of the Computer By: Tanner 6th period

  2. First Computer • The first computer was founded by David Packard and Bill Hewlett in a California garage. The first computer they produced was the HP 200A Audio Oscillator.

  3. Debug • Debug was written by Tim Paterson to serve this purpose in QDOS. IT was made for computers to determine whether a program is operating correctly

  4. Internet • The Internet was invented by a team of experts in 1957 ,when Russia sent Sputnik1 into space , to protect against Soviet missile attacks.

  5. Analytical Engine • It was invented by Charles Babbage • It was designed as a special purpose calculator • It held 1,000 numbers of 50 decimals each(20,7kB)

  6. The Tabulating machine • It was designed for summarizing information an was developed to process data for the 1890 U.S. Census

  7. ENIAC(Electrical Numerical Integrator And Calculator • It was invented by John Mauchly and John Preper Eckert for the American Army for calculating artillery-firing tables an ended up weighing 50 tons.

  8. Program • It is instructions written to do a special task for a computer

  9. Transistors • Almost everything is powered by a transistor. They are better than tubes because their lighter, more durable, smaller, and stronger

  11. What is the binary system? • It is a decimal system that uses only 2 numbers 1 and 0. • Every communication in your computer uses this binary system and it looks like this 101011101001100011010
