2
The Abacus
  • The First Computers were invented by the Chinese
    about 2500 years ago.
  • The abacus shown in Figure 1.1, is a calculator,
  • The Chinese used it to add, subtract, multiply,
    and divide.
  • (Find by archeological department)

The Analytical Engine (A Pre-Electronic computer)
  • The first mechanical computer was the analytical
    engine, conceived and partially constructed by
    Charles Babbage in London, England, between 1822
    and 1871.
  • People called Father of Computers to Charles
    Babbage.
  • It was designed to receive instructions from
    punched cards, make the calculations with the aid
    of a memory bank, and print out solutions to math
    problems.

The First Electrically Driven Computer
  • The first computer designed expressly for data
    processing was patented on January 8, 1889, By
    Dr. Herman Hollerith of New York.
  • The prototype model of this electrically operated
    tabulator was built for the U.S. Census Bureau to
    compute results of the 1980 census. Using punched
    cards containing information submitted by
    respondents to the census questionnaire, the
    Hollerith machine made instant tabulations from
    electrical impulses actuated by each hole.
  • It then printed out the processed data on tape.
    Dr. Hollerith left the Census Bureau in 1896 to
    establish the Tabulating Machine Company to
    manufacture and sell his equipment. The company
    eventually become IBM. And 80-column punched card
    used by the company.

5
The Digital Electronic Computer
  • The first modern digital computer, the ABC
    (Atanasoff-Berry Computes), was built in a
    basement on the lowa State University campus in
    Ames. Lowa, between 1939 to 1942.
  • The development team was led by john Atanasoff, a
    professor of physics and mathematics, and
    Clifford Berry, a graduate student.
  • This machine utilized concepts still in use
    today Binary, arithmetic, parallel processing,
    regenerative memory, separate memory, and
    computer functions.
  • When completed, it weighed 750 pounds and could
    store 3000 bits. (4 KB) of data

6
In 1945 ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator
and Computer)
  • Begun as a classified military project, ENIAC was
    designed to prepare firing and bombing tables for
    U.S. army and Navy.
  • It weighed 30 tons. And used 19,000 vacuum
    tubes, 1500 relays, and hundreds of thousands of
    resistors, capacitors, inductors, it required 200
    kilowatts of electrical power to operate.
