Brief History of Computer 

 

History of Computer:

The history of computer is very old, i.e. It goes back to some 500 years BC. The first computer developed by a Chinese before 15th century. Name of this machine was Abacus. However, in 1812 (A.D), an English mathematician from Cambridge University Mr. Charles Babbage designed a logical machine which called difference engine. This machine design for calculating powers of numbers. Also give the idea of an analytical engine, which was supported to be general purpose machine having the ability to calculate various arithmetic and/or algebraic formulas, store data and print results. He loos his life soon and he never changed his dreams into reality.

The analytical engine was not a successful machine but it gives birth to the research in the field of computer.

history of computer, in 1946, John Mauchly and J.P.Eckert developed an electronic, numerical integrator and computer (ENIAC) at the Moore School of Engineering and Technology Pennsylvania USA. This was first successful computer after Mark-I and Mark -II developed at Manchester University at UK. There were three main drawbacks in the in ENIAC as:

1.  It used serial lines for processing. 

2.  No storage facility was available.
3.  It used binary number and decimal numbers system.

History of Computer:

These problems were successfully cleared after the development of electronic discrete variable automatic computer (EDVAC) developed in 1950, it was the first come way of doing non-scientific work. Besides, most computers are based on the working of (EDVAC). The development of these machines materialized the existence of computers and they become a commercial entity used in many government organizations.

EDVAC was the first machine which the people can used for solving their problems easily, but still it was not a useful machine because it could not solve all the problems of that time. Therefore, efforts were made to develop such a machine, which can solve all our problems. In this situation, to improve the previous machine to the latest one Scientists continued their experience. Due to these improvements, we have now computers, which can solve all types of our problems.
