Mind Map

- The document discusses several early computing devices and their origins, including the abacus used in South America for counting, Napier's rods invented in 1612 as the first device to use decimal points, the Pascaline adding machine from 1642, and Gottfried Leibnitz's calculator from 1674 that could perform all basic math functions. It also outlines some important early computers like the ABC from 1939 that separated data and memory, and the EDVAC from 1944 that could solve math and science problems.
