This document provides a brief history of computers from ancient counting methods to modern electronic digital computers. It describes the progression from early mechanical computing devices like the abacus to modern electronic computers. Some key developments discussed include Charles Babbage's analytical engine in the 1800s, Herman Hollerith's tabulating machine in the late 1800s, the ENIAC in 1944, and the invention of the transistor in 1947 which led to smaller more powerful computers. The document traces the evolution of computing technology over thousands of years in a concise yet informative manner.
