EVOLUTION OF
COMPUTERS
2700-3000 BC ABACUS
A counting frame , used for
simple and complex arithmetic
1822-1833 CHARLES
BABBAGE
"Father of Computers"
Contributed greatly to the history of
computers by making the differenced
machine , a steam-engined calculator
in1822 and the analytical engine, the
first general purpose computer that can
be programmed .It was influenced by
the Jacquard loom, with the storage and
the patterns of punched cards.
1890 TABULATING
MACHINE
Used to summarize information stored
on punched cards for the U.S. Census.
Made by Herman Hollerith, founder of
IBM (International Business Machine),
in 1924 that sells tabulating machines
and futher on, computers,
FIRST GENERATION
1941-1956
The first generation computers are also
referred to as vacuum tube computers
because of their built-in vacuum tubes as their
logic circutry.
ENIAC 1946
Created by John W Mauchly and J. Presper
Eckert. The Electronic Numerical Integrator
and Computer was the first programmable,
electronic, general-purpose digital
computer.It was Turing-complete, and able to
solve "a large class of numerical problems"
through reprogramming.
EDVAC 1946
EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable
Automatic Computer) was one of the
earliest electronic computers. Unlike its
predecessor the ENIAC, it was binary rather
than decimal, and was designed to be a
stored-program computer.
UNIVAC-1 1951
The UNIVAC I (Universal Automatic Compute)r
was the first general-purpose electronic digital
computer design for robot business application
produced in the United States
1956-1963 SECOND
GENERATION
iBM 650,IBM 7000 ATLAS
This generation now utilizes transistors instead
of the bulky vacuum tubes for faster, more
efficient and lower- cost energy for computing
and storing data.
THIRD GENERATION
1964-1971
The significance of this generation is the
invention of Integrated Circuits(IC),
mkiniturizing the transistors and
covering it in silicon chips callled
semiconductors improving the speed
and efficacy of the computer.
1984 Macintosh
Apple created the Macintosh
Computers which then influenced
others to realize that
microprocessors can be in different
devices.
Modern Computer
With each new upgrade, the computers
became better and more efficient,
opening the ability to be linked with the
other computers that led to the creation
of the internet as well as the mouse,
handheld devices and GUI's
FIFTH GENERATION
FUTURE
With the help pf parallel processing and
superconductors, others are trying to
make a self- organized machine and can
understand the human language, an
artificial intelligence especially with the
possible creation of nanotechnology.
