    Extractions: History of Video games The history of computers goes back much further than many people might thing. Many people feel that the first computer was the abacus. As far back as the fourth century, the abacus was helping people count, a prelude to modern computers. The next machine to help man was the Antikythera mechanism. This was used to both register and predict the movement of planets and stars. Believe it or not, it was in 1623 when Wilhelm Schickard, of Germany, built the first mechanical calculator, although it never left the prototype stage. It was Blaise Pascal who managed to do that in 1642 with his calculator that had capacity for eight digits. It was not until 1941 that the first programmable calculator was created by Konrad Zuse. It was during the 1940s that many new developments occurred. The British were using a computer called Colossus to break code, the US had its own Electronic Numerical Integrator Analyzer and Computer (ENIAC) for creating artillery firing tables and Bell Telephone Laboratories created the transistor. The next two decades also brought on many advances in the history of computers. In 1951, the Universal Automatic Computer could store 12,000 digits. During this time, computers were used mainly for military and scientific study. The first mainframe in the history of computers was introduced in 1964 by IBM. By 1968, the first word processor was created by Doug Engelbart.

    Extractions: C omputers have been around for quite a few years. Some of your parents were probably around in 1951 when the first computer was bought by a business firm. Computers have changed so rapidly many people can not keep up with changes. O ne newspaper tried to relate how the fast changes in computer technology would look to a similar pace in the auto industry: "Had the automobile developed at a pace (equal) to that of the computer during the past twenty years, today a Rolls Royce would cost less than $3.00, get 3 million miles to the gallon, deliver enough power to drive (the ship) the Queen Elizabeth II, and six of them would fit on the head of a pin!" T hese changes have occurred so rapidly that many people do not know how our modern computer got its start.

    Extractions: Computers are used for different things. A few of the things people use computers for are to solve math problems, write and check the spelling of their words, play games, do homework, help fly airplanes, and keep track of information. Computers have changed a lot over the past 150 years. An early computer that helped people keep track of numbers and solve math problems is the abacus. Chinese people have used them for thousands of years. Charles Babbage made a device in 1823 that was a calculating machine. It was used to solve math problems. He developed the idea of a machine having a central processing unit, memory for storing numbers, and programs on punch cards that would run the computer. As electricity developed, so did computers. The other major invention that helped to develop computers was the microprocessor. Ted Hoff made the first microprocessor in 1970. This was important because a lot of information could be programmed on a small chip. Computers that used to take up a whole room could then be made much smaller. When computers were really big, not many people could afford to have one. The microprocessor helped to make the size needed for a computer much smaller and more affordable. Before there were computers, there were other ways to send information over wires. Morse code was made up by a man named Samuel F. B. Morse in 1838. Morse code uses dots and dashes. A dot is when you hold down the telegraph for a short time. A dash is when you hold down the telegraph longer. The most widely used signal is sos. Here is the way you can signal sos in Morse code. To do a "s" you do three dot's. The "o" uses three dashes. People used to have to make the signals by themselves using their hands. Modern computers have transistors that use switches that turn on and off to send signals.

    Extractions: Hardly anything defines modern life better than the computer. Whether we like it or not, computers have infiltrated every aspect of our society. Today computers do much more than simply compute. For instance: supermarket scanners calculate our bill while keeping store inventory, computerized telephone switching centers play traffic cop to millions of calls and keep lines of communication untangled, and ATM’s let us conduct banking transactions from virtually anywhere in the world. But where did all this technology come from and where is it heading? To fully understand and appreciate the impact computers have on our lives and promises they hold for the future, it is important to understand their evolution. The real beginnings of computers start with an English mathematics professor, Charles Babbage. Frustrated at many errors he found while examining calculations for the Royal Astronomical Society, he declared, "I wish to God these calculations had been performed by steam!" With those words, the automation of computers had begun. By 1812, Babbage noticed a harmony between machines and mathematics: machines were best at performing tasks repeatedly without mistake, while mathematics often required a repetition of steps. The p The problem was applying the ability of machines to the needs of mathematics. Babbage's first attempt was in 1822 when he proposed a machine to perform differential equations, called a Difference Engine. It was powered by steam and large as a locomotive. The machine would have a stored program and could perform calculations and print the results automatically. After working on the Difference Engine for ten years, Babbage was suddenly inspired to begin work on the first

    Extractions: I have compiled this history purely out of my personal interest in the subject, and I apologise for any omissions or mistakes in the documents. If you have any suggestions, comments, corrections or additions, please e-mail me: swhite@ox.compsoc.net I've re-organised the timelines, by splitting everything into a series of smaller timelines. There's still a bit of work to do in sorting out exactly what should be in each timeline and I've got quite a lot of updating that I want to do. Hopefully it's now much easier to find things, and people on slower connections can avoid downloading the entire timeline! The entire timeline is still available for those who want it. Modern computing can probably be traced back to the 'Harvard Mk I' and Colossus (both of 1943). Colossus was an electronic computer built in Britain at the end 1943 and designed to crack the German coding system - Lorenz cipher. The 'Harvard Mk I' was a more general purpose electro-mechanical programmable computer built at Harvard University with backing from IBM. These computers were among the first of the 'first generation' computers. First generation computers were normally based around wired circuits containing vacuum valves and used punched cards as the main (non-volatile) storage medium. Another general purpose computer of this era was 'ENIAC' (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) which was completed in 1946. It was typical of first generation computers, it weighed 30 tonnes contained 18,000 electronic valves and consumed around 25KW of electrical power. It was, however, capable of an amazing 100,000 calculations a second.

Stored-Program Computer The Mechanical Office and the Big Four IBM and compatibility In the Beginning The word computer as we know it today comes from the original early 20 th century word computer meaning a person who solved mathematical equations. The first computers were used to do just that; solve mathematical equations that would have taken people forever to figure out by hand due to time restraints (Ceruzzi 1) The picture to the left is that of the world’s first computers. The world’s first computers were "human computers” working away. This particular picture was taken in Los Angeles. Even after the first computers were developed, much of large-scale data processing was performed manually by large numbers of clerks. This was done until today’s modern computer was bor n around the 1950’s (Ceruzzi 2).
