ASSUNTO: #ISTOR$ OF COMPUTERS When you read the following text, you will probably meet words and expressions that are new to you. First try to understand their meaning from the context - read the same passage a few times. When you have read the whole text, check new words in a dictionary. Most of the words in bold typeface are explained in the Glossary at the end of the text. (1) Let us take a look at the history of the computers that we know today The !ery first calculatin" de!ice used was the ten fin"ers of a man#s hands This$ in fact$ is why today we still count in tens and multiples of tens Then the %&%'() was in!ented$ a %ead frame in which the %eads are mo!ed from left to ri"ht &eople went on usin" some form of a%acus well into the 1'th century$ and it is still %ein" used in some parts of the world %ecause it can %e understood without knowin" how to read (() )urin" the 1*th and 1+th centuries many people tried to find easy ways of calculatin" , Napier$ a Scotsman$ de!ised a mechanical way of multiplyin" and di!idin"$ which is how the modern )*+,- .(*- works -enry .ri""s used Napier#s ideas to produce */0%.+123 1%&*-) which all mathematicians use today C%*'(*()$ another %ranch of mathematics$ was independently in!ented %y %oth Sir /saak Newton$ an 0n"lishman$ and Lei%nit1$ a 2erman mathematician (3) The first real calculatin" machine appeared in 1+(4 as the result of se!eral people#s e5periments This type of machine$ which sa!es a "reat deal of time and reduces the possi%ility of makin" mistakes$ depends on a series of ten6toothed "ear wheels /n 1+34 7harles .a%%a"e$ an 0n"lishman$ desi"ned a machine that was called 8The Analytical 0n"ine9 This machine$ which .a%%a"e showed at the &aris 05hi%ition in 1+::$ was an attempt to cut out the human %ein" alto"ether$ e5cept for pro!idin" the machine with the necessary facts a%out the pro%lem to %e sol!ed -e ne!er finished this work$ %ut many of his ideas were the %asis for %uildin" today#s computers (;) /n 1<34$ the first %4%*/0 computer was %uilt %y an American named =anne!ar .ush This de!ice was used in >orld >ar // to help aim "uns ?ark /$ the name "i!en to the first ,+0+1%* computer$ was completed in 1<;; The men responsi%le for this in!ention were &rofessor -oward Aiken and some people from /.?
