History of computer…
 FIRST
COMPUTER
The first substantial computer was the giant ENIAC machine by John
W. ENIAC used a word of 10 decimal digits instead of binary ones like
previous automated calculators/computers. ENIAC was also the first
machine to use more than 2,000 vacuum tubes, using nearly 18,000
vacuum tubes. Storage of all those vacuum tubes and the machinery
required to keep the cool took up over 167 square meters of floor
space. The executable instructions composing a program were embodied
in the separate units of ENIAC, which were plugged together to form a
route through the machine for the flow of computations.

ENIAC is generally acknowledged to be the first successful high-speed

electronic digital computer and was productively used from 1946 to
1955. A controversy developed in 1971, however, over the patentability
of ENIAC's basic digital concepts, the claim being made that another
U. Atanasoff, had already used the same ideas in a simpler vacuum-tube
device he built in the 1930s while at Iowa State College.
There are five generations of
computer:

Households with computer at home

In 2018, almost half of private households worldwide were estimated to have a computer at home.
In general, the share of households with a computer has steadily increased worldwide as computer
usage and internet access is becoming more prevalent around the world.

Importance of using computer
Following is a list of ways in which computers
have come to become a very important part of
our daily life:
1. Business 1. Transport
2. Education 2. Navigation
3. Healthcare 3. Working From Home
4. Retail and Trade 4. Military
5. Government 5. Social
6. Marketing 6. Booking Vacations
7. Science 7. Security and Surveillance
8. Publishing 8. Weather Forecasting
9. Arts and Entertainment 9. Robotics
10.Communication
 #1.
Business
Almost every business uses computers nowadays. They can be employed to store and
maintain accounts, personnel records, manage projects, track inventory, create
presentations and reports. They enable communication with people both within and
out-side the business, using various technologies, including e-mail. They can be used
to promote the business and enable direct interaction with customers

#2. Education 
Computers can be used to give learners audio-visual packages, interactive
exercises, and remote learning, including tutoring over the internet. They can be
used to access educational information from intranet and internet sources, or
via e-books.
 #3. Retail and
Trade
Computers can be used to buy and sell products online - this enables sellers to reach a
wider market with low overheads, and buyers to compare prices, read reviews, and
choose delivery preferences. They can be used for direct trading and advertising too,
using sites such as eBay, Craigslist, or local listings on social media or independent
websites.
 
  #4. Government
Various government departments use computers to improve the quality and
efficiency of their services. Examples include city planning, law enforcement,
traffic, and tourism. Computer can be used to store information, promote
services, communicate internally and externally, as well as for routine
administrative purposes.
#5 Healthcare
As well as digitized medical information making it easier to store and access patient
data, complex information can also be analysed by software to aid discovery of
diagnoses, as well as search for risks of diseases. Computers control lab equipment,
heart rate monitors, and blood pressure monitors. They enable doctors to have greater
access to information on the latest drugs, as well as the ability to share information on
diseases with other medical specialists.

#6. Marketing
Computers enable marketing campaigns to be more precise through the analysis
and manipulation of data. They facilitate the creation of websites and
promotional materials. They can be used to generate social media campaigns.
They enable direct communication with customers through email and online
chat.
 #7. Arts and
Entertainment
Computers can be used to create drawings, graphic designs, and paintings. They can
be used to edit, copy, send, and print photographs. They can be used by writers to
create and edit. They can be used to make, record, edit, play, and listen to music. They
can be used to capture, edit and watch videos. They can be used for playing games 

#8.
Communication
Computers have made real-time communication over the internet easy, thanks to
software and videoconferencing services such as Skype. Families can connect with
audio and video, businesses can hold meetings between remote participants, and
news organizations can interview people without the need for a film crew. Modern
computers usually have microphones and webcams built-in nowadays to facilitate
software like Skype.
 #9. Banking and
Finance
You can use computers to check your account balance, transfer money, or pay off
credit cards. You can also use computer technology to access information on stock
markets, trade stocks, and manage investments. Banks store customer account data, as
well as detailed information on customer behaviour which is used to streamline
marketing

#10. Navigation
Navigation has become increasingly computerized, especially since computer
technology has been combined with GPS technology. Computers combined with
satellites mean that it's now easy to pinpoint your exact location, know which way
that you are moving on a map, and have a good idea of amenities and places of
interest around you.
 
 #11. Working from
Home
Computers have made working from home and other forms of remote working
increasingly common. Workers can access necessary data, communicate, and share
information without commuting to a traditional office. Managers are able to monitor
workers' productivity.

#12. Military
They are used for training purposes and analysing intelligence data. They are used
to control smart technology, such as drones, as well as for tracking incoming
missiles and destroying them. They work with other technologies such as satellites
to provide geospatial information and analysis. They aid communications. They
help tanks and planes to target enemy forces 
 CONCLUSION
Computer is one of the best gifts of technology. They are a pack of
entertainment, information, knowledge and intelligence. However,
computers have made signification contribution in human life and progress,
but we suggest that one should not become a slave of technology! What we
exactly mean to say is that we should spend time in front of screen with a
purpose and meaning and , we should always remember that the real world
lies off-screen!
