What is It

Computing Devices in Early Times

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abacus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abacus
 

                           CHINESE ABACUS CHINESE

6
About 4000 years ago Chinese Abacus was invented. This toll helps to
add and subtract numbers, the function of the rods can move only back and
forth to perform simple arithmetic.

h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer 

h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_Pascal  

PASCALINE BLAISE PASCAL

Blaise Pascal is a French mathematician, he invented a machine that can count


fast. He called it PASCALINE. This machine is intended to avoid mistakes or frequent
repetition of counting large numbers.
It could add and subtract long numbers without making a mistake and it can
perform counting faster than Abacus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Joseph_Marie_Jacquard Joseph_Marie_Jacquard

JACQUARD’S LOOM JOSEPH MARIE JACQUARD

7
By 1801, a French weaver found a faster way to weave a cloth. He was
Joseph Marie Jacquard. He invented a machine that could follow instructions from
punch cards. These cards were fed into the machine. The punch holes in the cards
looked like patterns. These were used to weave cross-stitch designs on the cloth
thus, the machine was known as the Jacquards Loom.

h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analy cal_Engine  h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage  

ANALYTICAL ENGINE CHARLES BABBAGE

Later in 1883, an American named Charles Babbage designed a machine


that could do a lot of things by itself. This machine could solve problems using
programs. And it could store instructions just like a modern computer. He called
his invention the “ANALYTICAL ENGINE”, because of his great idea he became
the “Father of Modern Computers”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace#/media/File:Ada_Byron
_daguerreotype_by_Antoine_Claudet_1843_or_1850_-_cropped.png

LADY AUGUSTA ADA BYRON

8
Lady Augusta Ada Byron was a close friend of Charles Babbage. She made
the sets of instructions for the Analytical Engine to follow. Since these instructions were
stored in the engine, it could easily do the instructions repeatedly. These sets of
Instructions were known as programs. Thus, Lady Augusta Ada Byron was known as
the “World’s First Programmer”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Hollerith#/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Hollerith#/
media/File:Hollerith.jpg media/File:Hollerith.jpg

TABULATING MACHINE HERMAN HOLLERITH


Dr. Herman Hollerith is an American statistician who invented a counting
machine in just two weeks, he called it “Tabulating Machine”. At that time, there
were no available machines that could help the government count the number of
people living in a certain country. Thus, Hollerith’s invention helped taking a
census easier for the government.
A census counts the number of people living in a city or town, made by the
government officials.

NAPIER’S BONE JOHN NAPIER

9
John Napier is a Scottish mathematician who developed an early mechanical
calculating device for multiplication and division. The device was termed Napier’s bones
due to the set of numbered rods, which are made of bones. The figure in the rods are
lined up to make simple calculations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Schickard
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Schickard

SCHICKARD’S MACHINE WILHELM SCHICKARD

Wilhelm Schickard, a German scientist who invented a machine in 1623 that


uses sprocket wheels to add, multiply and divide numbers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepped_reckoner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz

LEIBNITZ CALCULATOR GOTTFRIED WILHELM LEIBNITZ


Around 1670’s, a German mathematician invented another counting machine.
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz called it “LEIBNITZ CALCULATOR”. This machine works
better than the Abacus and the Pascaline. It can add, subtract, multiply and divide, it
can even find the square root of a number.

Computer Definition
A computer is a machine that performs tasks according to specific commands at
great speed and high degree of accuracy. It is a machine that speaks its own language and
needs a programmer that gives instructions for which it was designed. It can perform
arithmetic algorithms such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Generations of Computer Technology

First Generation (1950s)


Computers of the first generation consist of large and expensive vacuum tubes, which
were very undependable. These tubes burned out fast and usually have to be replaced to
keep the program going. The UNIVAC I is one good example of a first-generation
computer.

Second Generation (1960s)


These were computers which used transistors instead of vacuum tubes. Transistors
were smaller and more dependable than vacuum tubes. They were also more energy
efficient as they gave off less heat, resulting in faster computers. But these were still slower
compared to later computers.

Third Generation (late 1960s)


The coming of Integrated Circuits (ICs) greatly speeded computing time and reduced
the size of computers. The ICs can contain thousands of transistor making it possible to
make smaller but more powerful computers. Software and programs began to be
developed during this time, but they still were behind advancements in hardware or
computer parts.

Fourth Generation (1970s to 1980s)


As more circuits were compressed into single chips, there was an increase in the
speed and reliability of computers. There was also greater storage capacity with the coming
of new storage disks. It was during this time that programs and software became more
up-to-date. Microcomputers, called Personal Computers (PCs), were also developed.

Fifth Generation (1990s and beyond)


Chips became super-fast and powerful. Among these is the Pentium chip created by
Intel Corporation, which has Pentium 5 as the latest in their series. The fifth generation of
computer technology saw the widespread use of computers in terms of worldwide
applications such as the Internet, teleconferencing, and various modes and various other
advanced computer applications such as artificial intelligence, simulations and robotics.
Presently, computers are at the forefront of many technologies, including those
involving information, governance, and the economy. It is almost impossible for modern
society to exist as it does today without the aid of computers.

computers.

Additional Activities

Create your own Napier’s Bone (Napier’s Rod)

A Scottish mathematician named John Napier (1550-1617 AD) discovered logarithms


and invented a simple calculator to multiply any two numbers. The simple calculator is
known as Napier's bones or Napier's rods because it can be constructed from bone, paper
etc.

To make Napier's rods (or bones), you need ten strips of paper each divided into 9
parts, one for each of the first 9 multiples of the number at the top of strip as shown below.

What are the materials needed for this activity?

Caution:
Scissors are sharp tools, do not play with this tool to avoid accident.

Cut 10 strips including the multiplier

In each strip, a slanting line separates the tens digit from the units digit.

For example: 6 x 3 = 18

This is written as shown in the above diagram. The slanting line separates the tens digit on
the left, 1, from the units digit on the right, 8.

For example: 5 x 9 = 45

The slanting line separates the tens digit on the left, 4, from the units digit on the right, 5.

Copy the strips exactly as shown above, make sure you cut your paper strips equally with
the other strips.

We can use Napier's bones to multiply any two numbers. e.g. for 97 × 5, place the
multiplier, the '9' and the '7' bone side by side (for 97).

Here is an example of
a finished output.

  Now that you are done with your Napier’s 
Bone  Strips,  you  may  use  it    by  trying    to  solve 
425 x 2= _____. 

  If your answer is 850, that is correct. Now 
try 425 x 3=_____. If your answer is 1,275  that is 
also correct.

Napier’s Bone is fun and easy way to multiply numbers. Now that you have learned
about Napier’s Bone you may share your knowledge with your siblings and friends. You
may use this as a fun game at school and at home.
