Would you use this web page when writing a term paper about the history of computers? A Brief History of Computer Technology A complete history of computing would include a multitude of diverse devices such as the ancient Chinese abacus‚ the Jacquard loom (1805) and Charles Babbage’s ``analytical engine’’ (1834). It would also include discussion of mechanical‚ analog and digital computing architectures. As late as the 1960s‚ mechanical devices‚ such as the Marchant calculator‚ still found
