Since ancient times, humans have worked to develop tools to help with tasks like counting and calculations. The abacus, invented over 4,000 years ago in China, was one of the earliest counting devices, allowing easier addition and subtraction. Later inventions included Pascal's calculator in 1642, the first mechanical calculator; Leibniz's calculator in 1673, which could also multiply and find square roots; and Jacquard's loom in 1801, which used punch cards to automate patterns in textile production. These early electromechanical devices paved the way for computers.

2. Since man is born with intelligence,
he thought of ways that would
make things easy for him. One of
the problems encountered by man
was counting the things he had.
Because of this, he invented
something that could help him
count fast and easy.

3. The Abacus
About 4,000 years ago, the Chinese
invented the ABACUS. It is an adding
tool that can help can you add & subtract
numbers by moving beads back & forth
on rods. The abacus was one of the
earliest counting devise invented to help
man solve his counting problems.

5. In 1642, Blaise Pascal, a French
mathematician, invented the Pascal
calculator. This device, also known as the
Pascaline, operated 8 movable dials, which
could add numbers up to 8 figures long. It
was used to perform simple arithmetic
calculations. This device was limited to
addition & subtraction only.

7. In 1673, Gottfried Leibntiz, a German
mathematician & philosopher,
enchanced the Pascaline by creating a
device that could also multiply. It can
even find the square root of number.
The device was called the Leibnitz
Calculator/ machine.

9. In 1801, Joseph-Marie Jacquard, a
Frenchman, invented the
Jacquard’s loom. Jacquard’s loom
used punch card to program pattern
that were outputted as woven
fabrics by the loom.

11. Difference Engine
In 1822, Charles Babbage, a British
mathematician professor, invented the
Difference Engine. Powered by steam &
as large as a locomotive, the machine
had the capacity to perform
calculations & print the results.

13. In, 1833, several years after Babbage worked on
the Difference Engine, he began working on the
first general-purpose digital computer, which he
called the Analytical Engine. This steam-powered
engine outlined the basic elements of today’s
modern general-purpose computer and was a
breakthrough concept.

16. In 1889, Herman Hollerith, an American
inventor, invented the Hollerith’s Tabulating
Machine . The machine was a punch card reader
& had the capacity to store & process data.
Hollerith brought his punch card reader into
the business world, founding the Tabulating
Machine Company which later became International
Business Machine (IBM) in 1924.

invented by Howard H. Aiken in
1930. This was used to create
ballistic charts for the U.S. Navy.
The Mark 1 is called the Harvard-
IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled
Calculator.

20. Between 1943 and 1946, the ENIAC
or the Electronic Numerical Integrator and
Computer was developed by John Presper
Eckert and John Mauchly. This general
purpose computer computed at a
speed 1,000 times faster than the
Mark 1.
