 Since the day that the world began, the most basic way to count was with the use
of our fingers. When we learned how to count, our parents and teachers taught us to
count out loud using our fingers too.
Counting large numbers is a difficult thing to do. Different types of machines were
invented for us to count large numbers.
Around the 13th century, the Chinese people invented the abacus. It was a handy
tool for counting big numbers and could perform addition and subtraction using beads
and rods.

Blaise Pascal invented the Pascaline, which was first known as the Pascal’s
calculator. Pascaline is also called Arithmetic Machine. Instead of beads, he used wheels
to move its counter to perform addition and subtraction.

 The Leibniz calculator was created by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. This type of
calculator was able to do the four basic mathematical operations - addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division.

Joseph Marie Jacquard invented the Jacquard loom. It is a device that used
punched cards with holes to weave fabrics with great design.

The analytical engine is considered as the beginning of the modern computer

since it was able to perform complex mathematical operations. Charles Babbage and
Lady Augusta Byron worked together to make this machine as the first programmable
computing device. Unfortunately, Babbage - “The father of the Modern Computer” died
without finishing his work so Lady Augusta completed the project.

It was Herman Hollerith who invented the tabulating machine. This machine was
able to count and record data faster. He was hired by the U.S government to use his
machine in tabulating census.

Census is a count of people living in a place or country.

A computer is a device that you

can use to process data easily.
Different counting machines were
developed to help people in doing
their jobs.
