Computers have existed for
centuries, but the current form of the
computer is a recent invention.
Computers revolutionized how we
live, work, and interact.

6. Beginnings
The birth of mechanical computing
In the 1800s, Charles Babbage
invented the first mechanical
computer, the Difference
Engine, capable of basic
calculations and a step
towards modern computing.
Computing history began with
the abacus, a counting device
first used in Babylonia in 2400
BC for commerce.
The origins of computing
7. Development
Connecting People and Computers
The 1990s saw the rise of the
internet, revolutionizing
communication and
information access through
connected computers.
The 1980s-1990s saw the rise of
smaller, more powerful, and
affordable modern computers
with a range of capabilities and
applications.
From Mainframes to Modern
Computers
12. Mainframe Computers and Commercial Computing
● The 1950s saw the rise of the
mainframe computer, which was
a large, powerful machine that
filled an entire room
● the first programming language,
known as FORTRAN, was created
in 1950
● The first commercial computer,
the UNIVAC I, was released in
1951
14. • From1960s to the 1970s, computer
programming began to move away
from the mainframe computers to the
smaller computers that we know today
using different languages of
programmatic.
• The first mass-produced personal computer
was the Apple II, released in 1977.
16. In the 1980s, the internet began to take off, and with it came
the development of web programming languages such as
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This allowed developers to
create dynamic websites and applications, and to create
more interactive experiences for users.
18. Mainframe Computers and Commercial Computing
Computer development is continuing to evolve and
change, as new technologies are developed and new
possibilities are explored .
In the future, computers will become even smaller
and more powerful, and will be used in a variety of
ways, from artificial intelligence to virtual reality.
19. Conclusion
The history of computers is a long and fascinating one, and it has
changed the way we live, work, and play. From the abacus to the
modern computer, computers have come a long way in a short
amount of time. The future of computers is even more exciting,
and it’s sure to bring new and exciting technologies that will
change the way we interact with the world. It’s an exciting time to
be alive, and the possibilities for the future are endless.
