The history of computers and evolution Computers have been around a lot longer than many people might imagine. The word "computer" has changed meaning over decades‚ but the electronic computer that we think of in modern times developed throughout the second half of the 20th century.

A Brief History Of Computers The history of computers starts out about 2000 years ago‚ at the birth of the abacus‚ a wooden rack holding two horizontal wires with beads strung on them. When these beads are moved around‚ according to programming rules memorized by the user‚ all regular arithmetic problems can be done. Another important invention around the same time was the Astrolabe‚ used for navigation. Blaise Pascal is usually credited for building the first digital computer in 1642. It added

I know for sure just that there were no viruses on the Babbidge machine‚ but the Univac 1108 and IBM 360/370 already had them ("Pervading Animal" and "Christmas tree"). Therefore the first virus was born in the very beginning of 1970s or even in the end of 1960s‚ although nobody was calling it a virus then. And with that consider the topic of the extinct fossil
