The document contains two multiple choice sections testing knowledge about the history of computers and their evolution. Section A asks to match inventors with their inventions, while Section B contains true/false statements about key figures and their contributions. The passage then discusses a post-test involving timelines, computer generations, and envisioning the computer of the future.

1. Whom do you think has the most contribution in computer development?

For me si Charles Babbage because he constructed a model of automatic mechanical calculating


machine called difference engine. It could perform calculations and print results.

2. How do you think computers have changed the world?


Computers have changed the world in many ways.  They allow huge amounts of information to be
stored in a small space and computers allow people to communicate with one another through
internet

3. If you have a chance to go back in the past, which evolution of computer would you choose and
why?

I will choose the calculating machines because I want to know how they do it and then I will study it
carefully and then I will make it better

POST TEST

A. Direction: Discover when the following events in the evolution of computers took place. Refer to
the timeline below. Write the letter of your answer in the blank.

1. Hollerith established the Tabulating Machine Company, which later became IBM (International
Business Machine)

2. Charles Babbage began to build a new machine called analytical engine.

3. Joseph-Marie Jacquard designed and built Jacquard’s loom.

4. Slide rule was constructed William Oughtred. 5. Thomas de Colmar was invented the arithmometer.

6. Pascaline was constructed by Blaise Pascal

7. John Napier was constructed the Napier’s bones. 8. Abacus was used by the Babylonians. 9.
Gottfried von Leibnitz invented the stepped reckoner.

10. Difference engine was designed by Charles Babbage

B. Classification: Indicate to which generation of computers the following hardware and software
developments below by writing:

1- for first generation, 2 – for second generation, 3- for third generation, 4- for fourth generation, and
5- for fifth generation.

1 1. vacuum tubes

5 2. artificial intelligence

D. Computers of the Future: Draw what you think the computer of the future will look like. Explain its
functions.

For me this because I see our country as developed and especially in computers
