Charles Babbage is said to be the "father of computers" since it was, he who first conceived the idea of the basic design of a computer.
With his “need” to develop a device that can carry out calculations with absolute precision and eliminate miscalculations in course plotting and engineering, he offered the world the design for his first computer called the Difference Engine.
The gradual developments of computers over the years
Computers have faced “technical evolution” over the entire course of their years. With the advancement in scientific knowledge and improved technical progress, computers are growing “smarter” day by day.
Science has been able to spearhead the improvement that has allowed computers to advance.
Now, future computers can make their "own decisions" with better artificial intelligence.

5. The evolution of
computers is discussed to
in reference to the
different generations of
computing devices.. Each
generation of computers is
characterized by a major
technological
development and it
changed the way
computers operate..
6. The resulting in
increasingly smaller,
cheaper and more
powerful and more
efficient and reliable
devices.. The summary of
each generation and the
development that lead to
the current devices that
we use today
9. and very expensive to
operate and in addition to
using a great deal of
electricity.. And generated a
lot of heat , cause of
malfunctions.
The first computers used
vacuum tubes for circuitry
and magnetic drums for
memory.. And often were
enormous
10. First generation
computer relied on
machine language, the
lowest _level
programming language
understood by
computer, to perform
operations.. And could
only solve one problem
at a time
11. The UNIVAC was the first
commercial computer
delivered to business client,
the U.S. Census Bureau
The UNIVAC and ENIAC
computers are examples of
first generation computing
devices.
14. Transistor replaced vaccuum tubes and ushered in
the second generation of computers and the
transistor was far superior to the vaccuum tube
allowing computers to become...
19. were also being developed at this time COBOL and
FORTRAN the first computers that stored their
instructions in their memory . Which moved from a
magentic core technology
32. The microprocessor
brought the fourth
generation of computers, as it
became possible to build
thousands integrated circuits
were built onto a single silicon
chip. What in the first
generation filled an entire room
could now fit in the palm of the
hand.
33. The Intel 4004 chip,
developed in 1971 located
all the components of the
computer - from the
central processing unit
and memory to
input/output controls, on a
single chip
34. In 1981 IBM introduced its first computer for the
home user
35. In 1984 Apple introduced the
Macintosh
Microprocessors also moved
out, of the realm of desktop
computers and into many
areas of life as more and
more everyday products
began to use
microprocessors.
39. Fifth generation computing
devices, based on artificial
intelligence, are still in
development, though there
are some applications, such
as voice recognition, that are
already being used today.
40. The use of parallel
processing and
superconductors is
helping to make
artificial
intelligence a
reality.
43. The goal of fifth-generation computing is to develop
devices that respond to natural language input and are
capable of learning and self-organization.
51. Sixth generation have really taken advanced
computing to a new level and now consumer can just
imagine what seventh generation of computer will bring
for them.
