The document outlines key developments in computer history from ancient calculating devices like the abacus to modern computers. It notes that the abacus was the first man-made computing device used as early as 3000 BC. In the 1800s, punched cards were developed for data storage, first being used by Joseph Jacquard to automate his weaving. Charles Babbage is recognized as the "father of computers" for inventing the Analytical Engine in the 1830s, designed to store thousands of numbers. Herman Hollerith's tabulating machine in the 1890s was an early electromechanical computer that used punched cards to tabulate US census data.

2. The Computer-Key Developments
• Abacus-calculating device(3000BC)

3. Abacus-
• Is an ancient calculating device.
• First man made computing device.
• Is still being used in China, Russia and the
Far-east countries for calculations.

4. Pascaline-mechanical adding
machine(1642)

5. Pascaline-
• is a desktop mechanical adding machine.
• This was developed by Blaise Pascal.

6. Punched cards-data
storage(1800s)

7. Punched cards-
• A card punched with holes in certain
places that a computer can read data
coded from the combination of holes.
• This was first used by Joseph Jacquard to
automate his weaving factory.

• This was invented by Charles Babbage
who is known as “the father of computers”.
• Designed to store one thousand 50 digit
numbers for calculations and decisions.

tabulate1890 US census (Poll) data.
• It was electrically powered and, used
punched cards.

computer(1944)

13. Mark i-
• This was invented in 1944 by Dr.Howard
Aiken.
• The idea is based on programmable,
general purpose computer.

14. ENIAC-Electronic computer(1946)

15. ENIAC-
• In 1946 John Mauchly and J.Presper
Eckert introduced the ENIAC as an
electronic computing machine.

US Census Department(1951)

17. UNIVAC-(UNIVAC-i)
• It was developed and this is the first
commercial computer which got large
amount of public attention.
