A Brief History of Computers
By
CHEM D. OYASAN
Pre-Mechanical Computing:
From Counting on fingers
to pebbles
to hash marks on walls
to hash marks on bone
to hash marks in sand
Interesting thought:
Do any species, other than homo sapiens, count?
Mechanical computers
From
The Abacus
c. 4000 BCE
to
Charles Babbage
and his Difference Engine (1812)
Mechanical computers:
The Abacus (c. 3000 BCE)
Napier’s Bones and
Logarithms (1617)
Picture courtesy IBM
Oughtred’s (1621) and
Schickard‘s (1623]
slide rule
Blaise Pascal’s
Pascaline (1645)
Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz’s
Stepped Reckoner (1674)
Joseph-Marie Jacquard and his punched
card controlled looms (1804)
Preparing the cards with the pattern
for the cloth to be woven
Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
The Father of Computers
Charles Babbage’s Difference
Engine
Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine
Lady Augusta Ada
Countess of Lovelace
Read Lady Augusta Ada’s translation of Menabrea’s
Sketch of the Analytical Engine
Electro-mechanical computers
From
Herman Hollerith’s
1890
Census Counting Machine
to
Howard Aiken
and the Harvard Mark I (1944)
Herman Hollerith and his
Census Tabulating Machine (1884)
A closer look at the Census
Tabulating Machine
The Harvard Mark I (1944)
aka IBM’s Automatic Sequence
Controlled Calculator (ASCC)
The first computer bug
Rear Admiral Dr. Grace
Murray Hopper
Electronic digital computers
From
John Vincent Atanasoff’s
1939
Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC)
to
the present day
Alan Turing
1912-1954
The Turing Machine
Aka
The Universal Machine
1936
John Vincent Atanasoff (1903-1995)
Physics Prof
At
Iowa State
University,
Ames, IA
Clifford Berry (1918-1963)
PhD student
of
Dr. Atanasoff’s
1939
The Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC)
The ABC was the first electronic digital computer, invented
by John Vincent Atanasoff
1943
Bletchley Park’s Colossus
The Enigma
Machine
1946
The ENIAC
John Presper Eckert
(1919-1995)
and
John Mauchly
(1907-1980)
of the
University of
Pennsylvania Moore
School of Engineering
The ENIAC:
Electronic Numerical Integrator and
Computer
Programming the ENIAC
ENIAC’s Wiring!
John Von Neumann came up with the
bright idea of using part of the computer’s
internal memory (called Primary Memory)
to “store” the program inside the computer
and have the computer go get the
instructions from its own memory, just as
we do with our human brain.
John Von Neumann
1951
Univac
Typical 1968 prices—EX-cluding maintenance & support!
“What hath God wrought!”
(first telegraph message sent by Samuel Morse, 1844)
Electronic and computing technology quickly progressed—at an ever-accelerating
pace—
from vacuum tubes (Lee de Forrest, the audion, 1907)
to transistors (William Shockley et al. 1947)
to semiconductors (Jack Kilby & Robert Noyce, 1958)
to microprocessors (M.E. “Ted” Hoff, 1971)
to networking and the Internet (Vinton Cerf & Robert Kahn, 1982]
to the World Wide Web (Tim Berners-Lee, 1991)
and beyond…
Whatever next?…

  • 29. ENIAC’s Wiring! John Von Neumann came up with the bright idea of using part of the computer’s internal memory (called Primary Memory) to “store” the program inside the computer and have the computer go get the instructions from its own memory, just as we do with our human brain. John Von Neumann
  • 31. “What hath God wrought!” (first telegraph message sent by Samuel Morse, 1844) Electronic and computing technology quickly progressed—at an ever-accelerating pace— from vacuum tubes (Lee de Forrest, the audion, 1907) to transistors (William Shockley et al. 1947) to semiconductors (Jack Kilby & Robert Noyce, 1958) to microprocessors (M.E. “Ted” Hoff, 1971) to networking and the Internet (Vinton Cerf & Robert Kahn, 1982] to the World Wide Web (Tim Berners-Lee, 1991) and beyond… Whatever next?…
