In the year 1822 a British mathematician named Babbage designed the first mechanical calculator-computer for adding and subtracting numbers called the “difference engine”. It was like a train and was designed to operate with steam, and took 10 years to build just one part of the…
For instance, the development of working frameworks throughout the years to serve us better and in a less demanding route as per the client needs. In 1945 ENIAC, the primary broadly useful electronic PC was assembled. It was made for a certain reason: to process terminating tables for the military. These discharging tables were utilized as a part of the battle to locate the correct point of height for a weapon, considering the temperature, wind heading, and sort of ammo. As weapon generation moved into high rigging amid World War II and an ever-bigger exhibit of firearms were made, the armed force was confronting a gigantic build-up of counts. This prompted financing the…

When World War II ended, the digital computer was poised to develop from a colossal laboratory curiosity into a practical technology that could begin to disseminate into business and industry.…
The History of Computer Hardware, Computer Software, and Computer Networks originated in the 20th century. It has progressed from mechanical inventions and mathematical theories towards the modern computer concepts and machines formed a major academic field and the beginning of a substantial worldwide industry.…
Computers have become one of our necessities in our daily life which makes it so hard to imagine a time when they did not really exist. And the birth of first computer occurred in 1950. It was the Electrical Numerical Integrator and Calculator or ENIAC. It was made out of 18,000 vacuum tubes which made it to consume about 180,000 watts of electrical power. However, it was only capable to give function such as multiplying numbers rapidly. Due to rapid growth in population, Census Bureau of United States decided to have a machine to tabulate the data, hence,…

This report briefly explains the history of modern computers, starting from the year 1936 to present day time. There are many models of computers documented throughout the years, but they only computer models mentioned are ones that I deemed too have had the greatest effect on computer technology back then and now. This report will show how in just forty years, computers have transformed from slow, room-sized machines, to the small and fast computers of today. Computers are a part of important everyday life, but there was a time when computers did not exist. Computers are one of the few inventions that do not have one specific inventor. Many inventors have contributed to the production and technology of computers. Some of the inventions have been different types of computers, while the others were parts needed for the computer to function effectively. Many people have added their creations to the list required to make computers work, adding to the overall technology of computers today.…
"Calculators from Texas who?" That question was often asked during the first days of the electronic calculator industry, but as the market grew, Texas Instruments became an industry leader and a household name in homes, as well as in schools, offices and factories -- around the world. In the early 1970s, the daily lives of people throughout the developed world were changed profoundly by the advent of a small electronic machine that could per-form basic mathematical problems much more quickly and more accurately than they could be worked out on paper. Calculators expanded the math capabilities of everyone from high school students to businessmen. The original compact calculator was the abacus, developed in China in the ninth century. The young French mathematician Blaise Pascal invented the first adding machine in 1642, a clever device driven by gears and capable of performing mechanical addition and subtraction. The first commercially successful adding machine was developed in 1886 by William Seward Burroughs The "Millionaire," a machine invented by Otto Steiger in 1894, was the first adding machine also capable of direct multiplication.…
Computer Hardware came about when machines needed separate manual actions to be able to perform specific mathematical functions. Luckily in 1941, a man by the name of Konrad Zuse invented what was considered the first working, fully operable computer. Prior to this, most of the calculations were done manually to calculate by people with adding machines. Today these adding machines are better known as calculators. Back then, all you had to do is push buttons, but in today’s modern software technology it has been made easier to utilize all of a computers functions and as well as been simplified thanks to computer hardware and all of its wonderful components.…
CHAPTER 2 History of Manufacture The co-authors in this section: C Stevens and J O’Brien 2.1. Before the Industrial revolution Preamble The beginnings (distant past down to 5 millennia before present) The urban societies (~5000 years ago to ~2500 years ago) Greece and Rome (~2500 years ago to ~1500 years ago) Medieval period (~1500 to ~ 500 years ago) Impact of western civilisations (~500 to ~250 years ago) Preamble The contemporary state of production systems is the result of a long path of development over thousands of years. Evidence of the systematic fabrication of structural components – stone blocks and bricks – can be found throughout the world. The Egyptian Pyramids and the 8000 km long Great Wall of China built millennia ago are impressive landmarks along this path, as are the intriguingly similar pyramids in Peru (Huaca Del Sol) and in China (Great White Pyramid). Many further examples allow us to trace the evolution of mankind over thousands of years: the production of weaponry, ceramics and glassware, for example, give an insight into the tools, techniques and cultures needed to produce them.…
