The document traces the history and evolution of computing devices from ancient counting tools like the abacus to modern computers. It describes early mechanical calculating devices invented by Pascal and Babbage in the 1600s-1800s. The development of programming by Ada Lovelace and Boolean logic in the 1800s laid the foundations for modern computing. Key innovations like the tabulator, vacuum tube, Turing machine, and integrated circuit expanded computing's capabilities. The document outlines the development of early computers like ENIAC and Mark I in the 1940s-1950s and the rise of programming languages. It traces the progression from mainframes to minicomputers and microprocessors, leading to personal computers in the 1970s and beyond.

2. The Early Years

Chinese Abacus
 The first counting device was the abacus, originally
from Asia. It worked on a place-value notion
meaning that the place of a bead or rock on the
apparatus determined how much it was worth.
Roman Abacus
Russian Abacus

3. Napier's bones (1600s)

 Napier's bones is a manually-operated calculating device created
by John Napier of Merchiston for calculation of products and quotients
of numbers.

4. Pascaline (1642)

 Blaise Pascal invented the mechanical calculator called Pascaline. This
calculating machine could add and subtract two numbers directly and
multiply and divide by repetition.

5. Difference Engine (1812)

 Charles P. Babbage, the "father of the computer", designed a
machine, the difference engine which would be steampowered, fully automatic and commanded by a fixed
instruction program.

6. Ada Lovelace(1840s)

 Ada Lovelace, world's first computer programmer,
provided the first algorithm intended to be processed by
Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose
computer, the Analytical Engine.
 She suggested that a binary system should be used for
storage rather than a decimal system.

7. Boolean logic(1850s)

 George Boole developed Boolean logic which would
later be used in the design of computer circuitry.
Venn diagrams for conjunction,
disjunction, and complement.

8. Hollerith’s
Tabulator(1890s)

 Dr. Herman Hollerith introduced the first electromechanical, punchedcard data-processing machine which was used to compile information
for the 1890 U.S. census. Hollerith's tabulator became so successful that
he started his own business to market it. His company would
eventually become International Business Machines (IBM).

9. Vacuum Tube(1906)

 The vacuum tube is invented by American physicist
Lee De Forest.
Triode vacuum tube

10. Turing Machine(1943)

 British mathematician Alan Turing developed a hypothetical device,
the Turing machine which would be designed to perform logical
operation and could read and write.

11. Harvard Mark I

 Howard Aiken, in collaboration with engineers from IBM, constructed
a large automatic digital sequence-controlled computer called the
Harvard Mark I. This computer could handle all four arithmetic
operations, and had special built-in programs for logarithms and
trigonometric functions.

12. ENIAC

 The giant ENIAC (Electrical Numerical Integrator and Calculator)
machine was developed by John W. Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert, Jr.
at the University of Pennsylvania. It used 18, 000 vacuums, punch-card
input, weighed thirty tons and occupied a thirty-by-fifty-foot space.

manufactured the first integrated circuit, or chip, which is a
collection of tiny little transistors.

•
Fifth generation computing devices, based on artificial intelligence, are still
in development, though there are some applications, such as voice
recognition, that are being used today.
The use of parallel processing and superconductors is helping to make
artificial intelligence a reality.
Quantum computation and molecular and nanotechnology will radically
change the face of computers in years to come.
The goal of fifth-generation computing is to develop devices that respond to
natural language input and are capable of learning and self-organization.
