History of Computers
The history of computers is a gradual development from the time abacus was invented till modern times. Charles Babbage, the inventor of the first computing machines, made history by inventing the first ever computers which was far simpler from what generation Z can imagine. With time came the electronic computers, thanks to the efforts of John Atanasoff, a 1942 graduate of Iowa State University. Today the evolution of modern computers has changed the course of human history itself. The History of Computers can be listed as follows:- computing logarithms (1822) and Analytical machine (1833) for following instructions from punch cards.

Welcome, brave adventurer, to the first of my in-depth feature articles exploring the history of our favorite computer game genre: The Computer Role-Playing Game, or the CRPG. For many avid gamers, the CRPG is the perfect storm of gameplay, story, and strategy. Whether we're talking about a randomized "dungeon crawler" like Rogue or a story-driven game like Betrayal in Krondor , a click-fest like Diablo or a stat-crunching Pool of Radiance , the CRPG has always enjoyed a tremendous appeal. Even today, when the first-person shooter and sports games seem to have crushed all opposition, everyday millions of players login to World of Warcraft, and each new installment in the Zelda series sends ripples throughout the entire game industry. Whether acknowledged or not, the CRPG will always play a major role in computer and console gaming. The CRPG is the spine of the electronic gaming industryand it's not hard to see why. You just can't have more fun with a computer or a console than when you're engrossed in a well-crafted CRPG. But where did the CRPG come from? From what deep, dank dungeon did they crawl? How has the genre evolved into the amazing games we enjoy today? If you've ever wondered about these and other CRPG-related questions, of if you just like reading the very best writing you can find on the net about gamingthen grab a mug of your best ale and prepare to read an article only an author of Armchair Arcade would ever dare to draft!

History of Computers
This chapter is a brief summary of the history of Computers. It is supplemented by the two PBS documentaries video tapes "Inventing the Future" And "The Paperback Computer". The chapter highlights some of the advances to look for in the documentaries.
In particular, when viewing the movies you should look for two things:
  • The progression in hardware representation of a bit of data:
  • Vacuum Tubes (1950s) - one bit on the size of a thumb;
  • Transistors (1950s and 1960s) - one bit on the size of a fingernail;
  • Integrated Circuits (1960s and 70s) - thousands of bits on the size of a hand
  • Silicon computer chips (1970s and on) - millions of bits on the size of a finger nail.
  • The progression of the ease of use of computers:
  • Almost impossible to use except by very patient geniuses (1950s);
  • Programmable by highly trained people only (1960s and 1970s);
  • Useable by just about anyone (1980s and on).
to see how computers got smaller, cheaper, and easier to use.
First Computers
Eniac Computer The first substantial computer was the giant ENIAC machine by John W. Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert at the University of Pennsylvania. ENIAC (Electrical Numerical Integrator and Calculator) used a word of 10 decimal digits instead of binary ones like previous automated calculators/computers. ENIAC was also the first machine to use more than 2,000 vacuum tubes, using nearly 18,000 vacuum tubes. Storage of all those vacuum tubes and the machinery required to keep the cool took up over 167 square meters (1800 square feet) of floor space. Nonetheless, it had punched-card input and output and arithmetically had 1 multiplier, 1 divider-square rooter, and 20 adders employing decimal "ring counters," which served as adders and also as quick-access (0.0002 seconds) read-write register storage.

    Stacked Job Batch Systems (mid 1950s - mid 1960s)
    A batch system is one in which jobs are bundled together with the instructions necessary to allow them to be processed without intervention. Often jobs of a similar nature can be bundled together to further increase economy The basic physical layout of the memory of a batch job computer is shown below: The monitor is system software that is responsible for interpreting and carrying out the instructions in the batch jobs. When the monitor started a job, it handed over control of the entire computer to the job, which then controlled the computer until it finished. A sample of several batch jobs might look like: $JOB user_spec ; identify the user for accounting purposes $FORTRAN ; load the FORTRAN compiler source program cards $LOAD ; load the compiled program $RUN ; run the program data cards $EOJ ; end of job $JOB user_spec ; identify a new user $LOAD application $RUN data $EOJ Often magnetic tapes and drums were used to store intermediate data and compiled programs.
