Identify the different pictures of vehicle according to their speed.
• Machines are tools
that help people do
their tasks quickly and
easily. Car, train,
airplane, bike, washing
machine, and scissors
are examples of
machines.
The computer is an
electronic device that
accepts data and
processes them to get
meaningful
information. It needs
electricity to work.
• Machines were made to
help people their work.
Some were made to help
people count and others
were used for writing. Not
long after, computers were
invented to help people do
both and many more. See
what computers were like
back then.
1) Abacus is the first
computing device. An
abacus is also called a
counting frame. You move
the beads up and down or
left and right to add and
subtract numbers.
Blaise Pascal invented a
device called the
Pascaline, which was
first known as the Pascal
Calculator.
Gootfried Leibnitz invented the Leibnitz Calculator. It
was the first calculator that could perform addition,
subtraction, division, and multiplication. His
invention worked just like a calculator
Joseph Marie Jacquard invented Jacquard Loom. This machine used
punched cards with holes to weave fabrics. It made sure order with the
use of codes. This is important because computers use codes in order to
work.
Analytical engine
was invented by
British
mathematicians
Charles Babbage
and Lady Augusta
Byron. They applied
the punched card He is known as the
She is known as
concept of “Father of the
the “World’s First
Jacquard. Modern Computer”
Programmer”
Herman Hollerith invented the Tabulating Machine. He invented a
calculating machine that could count and sort information.
• Census is a count or survey
of the number of people
living in city or town. This is
done on an official basis by
the government.
• A microprocessor is made
up of silicon chips. It
enables the computer to
work faster.
