BIGGNERS OF COMPUTER

ABOUT COMPUTER

Requirement invents Computer. In the other words Invention is the mother of the computer. There is a lot of history in the back of the computer, so here I gave a little information about the computer and its history.

Computer:-

Computer is a high speed electronic device which accepts data as input process it as per the user’s requirement and produce the output.

The abacus was the first aid for mathematical computations. Abacus can only work on addition and subtraction problems. It first discovered in China. In fact, the abacus was first used in 300 B.C. by the Babylonians. The abacus is still in use today.

In 1617 Scotsman named John Napier invented logarithms, which are a technology that allows multiplication to be performed via addition.

After that Napier invented the slide rule, first built in England in 1632 and still in use in the 1960's by the NASA engineers of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs which landed men on the moon.

After Leonardo da Vinci in the year between 1452 to 1519 made drawings of gear-driven calculating machines but no one can built it.

In 1642 Blaise Pascal, in the age of age 19, invented the Pascaline as dedicated towards his father who was a tax collector. Pascal built 50 of this gear-driven one-function but can’t sell one because only his poorness.
