HISTORY OF
COMPUTER
ABACUS
Theabacuswas an early aid for
mathematical computations.
It aids the memory of the human
performing the calculation.
A skilled abacus operator can work on
addition and subtraction problems
at the speed of a person equipped
with
a
hand
calculator
(multiplication and division are
slower).
The oldest surviving abacus was used
NAPIER'S BONES
PASCALINE
In 1642 Blaise Pascal,
at age 19, invented
thePascalineas an aid
for his father who was
a tax collector.
Pascal built 50 of this
gear-driven
onefunction calculator (it
could only add)
JACQUARDS LOOM
In 1801 the Frenchman
Joseph
Marie
Jacquard
invented a power loom
that could base its weave
(and hence the design on
the fabric) upon a pattern
automatically read from
punched wooden cards,
held together in a long row

WHAT IS COMPUTER?
Acomputeris an electronic
device
that
manipulates
information, or data. It has
the ability tostore,retrieve,
&processdata. You can use a
computer to type documents,
send email, and browse the
internet.

- themost important
softwarethat runs on a
computer.
- allows you
tocommunicatewith the
computer without knowing how
to speak the computer's
"language."
- Without an operating system, a
computer is useless.
