The Abacus • The First Computers were invented by the Chinese about 2500 years ago. • The abacus shown in Figure 1.1, is a calculator, • The Chinese used it to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. • (Find by archeological department)
The Analytical Engine (A Pre-Electronic computer) • The first mechanical computer was the analytical engine, conceived and partially constructed by Charles Babbage in London, England, between 1822 and 1871. • People called Father of Computer’s to Charles Babbage. • It was designed to receive instructions from punched cards, make the calculations with the aid of a memory bank, and print out solutions to math problems.
The First Electrically Driven Computer • The first computer designed expressly for data processing was patented on January 8, 1889, By Dr. Herman Hollerith of New York. • The prototype model of this electrically operated tabulator was built for the U.S. Census Bureau to compute results of the 1980 census. Using punched cards containing information submitted by respondents to the census questionnaire, the Hollerith machine made instant tabulations from electrical impulses actuated by each hole. • It then printed out the processed data on tape. Dr. Hollerith left the Census Bureau in 1896 to establish the Tabulating Machine Company to manufacture and sell his equipment. The company eventually become IBM. And 80-column punched card used by the company.
The Digital Electronic Computer • The first modern digital computer, the ABC (Atanasoff-Berry Computes), was built in a basement on the lowa State University campus in Ames. Lowa, between 1939 to 1942. • The development team was led by john Atanasoff, a professor of physics and mathematics, and Clifford Berry, a graduate student. • This machine utilized concepts still in use today: Binary, arithmetic, parallel processing, regenerative memory, separate memory, and computer functions. • When completed, it weighed 750 pounds and could store 3000 bits. (4 KB) of data
In 1945 ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) • Begun as a classified military project, ENIAC was designed to prepare firing and bombing tables for U.S. army and Navy. • It weighed 30 tons. And used 19,000 vacuum tubes, 1500 relays, and hundreds of thousands of resistors, capacitors, inductors, it required 200 kilowatts of electrical power to operate.
