Lesson 1 History of Computer by Ibook Development Group

This document summarizes the history and evolution of computing devices, from early counting tools like fingers and the abacus, to mechanical calculating devices such as Napier's Bones and the Pascaline, and then the development of programmable computers like the Analytical Engine, ENIAC and UNIVAC. It outlines the invention of mainframe, mini, desktop, laptop, palmtop, mobile, and tablet computers, tracing how computing technology has progressed from mechanical to electronic digital devices and expanded in capabilities and portability over time.

BASIC COMPUTER CONCEPT

The first tools used for counting were


man's own fingers (digit)
ABACUS
The first known mechanical
computing device invented
by man was the abacus.
NAPIERS BONE
Developed in 1614
by John Napier. It
is a computing
device used for
multiplication and
division of large
numbers.
PASCALINE
Develop in 1642 by
Blaise Pascal. It
comes with eight
rotating gear with
each wheel
representing places in
the decimal system
LEIBNITZS CALCULATOR
It is an improved
pascaline developed
by Gottfried Leibniz
in 1671. It can
multiply, divide, add
and subtract
numbers.
It was invented by
Joseph Marie
Jacquard in 1801.
Jacquards Loom
uses punch cards
to program designs
on fabrics and
carpets.
In 1822, Charles
Babbage designed
the Difference
Engine. It can
compute many useful
sets of numbers
ANALYTICAL ENGINE
The mechanical
general-purpose
computer which led to
the origination of the
Analytical Engine. It
was described in 1837
but never completed.
TABULATING MACHINE
Invented by an
American inventor,
Herman Hollerith in
1890. This machine
uses a punched card
that can be
electronically read to
process high volumes of
data.
ABC (Atanasoft-Berry Computer)
John
Vincent Atanasoff
and Clifford Berry
invented the first
electronic-digital
computer called ABC
(Atanasoff-Berry
Computer)
EDVAC ( Electronic Discrete
Variable Automatic Computer
automatically addition,
subtraction,
multiplication, programmed
division and automatic
checking, also developed
by John William Mauchly
and John Presper Eckert
in 1944.
ENIAC (Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Computer


It was the first
electronic digital
computer which is big
and noisy. It can
perform long calculations
in an hour. It was also
developed by Eckert and
Mauchly.
Introduced by Eckert-
Mauchly Computer
Corporation and was
completed by Remington
Rand. It was the first
commercial computer
that can perform 10,000
calculations per second.
UNIVAC (Universal Automatic
Calculator)


It was considered
the most
expensive and
fastest type of
computer
SUPERCOMPUTER


slower, less
powerful and less
expensive than
supercomputers. It
can support
hundreds or
thousands of users.
MAINFRAME COMPUTER


describe the
small third
generation
computers
MINICOMPUTER


Desktop computer is
a personal computer
(PC) intended for
regular use at a
single location.
Desktop model
computers are broad
and low.
DESKTOP COMPUTER


designed for mobile
use and is small and
light enough to sit on
a persons lap. The
first laptop computer
was invented in 1981
by Adam Osborne,
which is named
Osborne
LAPTOP COMPUTER


Other names for
palmtops are
handheld computers,
pocket computers and
PDA(Personal Digital
Assistant).
PALMTOP COMPUTER

Mobile devices are
small enough to
carry in a pocket.
Aside from its
telephone
capability, it is
also internet-
enabled.
MOBILE DEVICES


a special type of
notebook computer
that allows you to
write or draw on the
screen using a digital
pen or also called
stylus..
