1. The document outlines the history of important developments in computing, beginning with early numbering systems developed by Hindus between 100-200 CE and the Chinese abacus around 500 BCE. 2. Key figures that advanced computing include Charles Babbage, who invented the Difference Engine and Analytical Engine in the 1820s-1830s; Herman Hollerith, who developed the Census Tabulating Machine using punch cards in 1890; and J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, who created the ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic computer, in 1946. 3. The document also describes the three generations of computers: first generation used vacuum tubes from 1951-1958; second generation used

___ Chinese - Abacus
Write the numbers on the blank to arrange
the events in order 1 - 9.
Copy and write your answer in ¼ sheet of
paper.

2. Hindus of India
-First numbering
system
1 to 9
100 -200 CE (COMMON ERA)
It is said that the first numbering system from 1
to 9 was invented.

3. Chinese -
ABACUS (first
adding
machine)
500 BCE
The first recorded adding machine was invented
by Babylonian (now IRAQ) which is then
popularized by the Chinese.

4. Logarithm
- Jhon Napier
- Father of
logarithm (title)
1614
John Napier, the father of logarithm introduced
the use of log in multiplication and division.

5. Blaise Pascal
-PASCALINE
( rotating wheel
calculator)
1642
It was then followed by the discovery of Pascaline,
a french mathematician.

6. Gottfried Leibnitz
- STEPPED
RECKONER
1671
A german mathematician invented a machine that
could multiply 5 – 12 digit numbers yielding up
to 16 digit numbers.

7. Charles Babbage
- Difference
Engine
- Father of
Modern
Computer
(title)
1821
Invented a steam-powered adding machine. This is the first
modern computer device that can automatically solve
math problems. He later developed the use of punch
cards and invented the analytical engine in order to
solve and print complex mathematical operations in
1832.

8. Herman Hollerith
- Census Tabulating
Machine
- Father of
Information
Processing (title)
1890
American commissioned by the US government
working on census preparation, has
successfully adopted the use of punch cards in

9. HOWARD AIKEN
-MARK I – 1st
stored program
computer
1942
A mathematician of Harvard University invented
the first stored program computer.

10. J.Presper
Eckert Jr. &
Jhon Mauchly
- ENIAC &
UNIVAC
1946 & 1951
Universal Automatic Calculator (UNIVAC
The ENIAC:
Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Computer
First electronic digital computer developed at the University of
Pennsylvania

11. 1951 - 1958
1ST
GENERATION
COMPUTER
Characterized by the use of vacuum tubes as the main logic
element and have the ability to store 1,000 – 4,000
characters with speed of 200 instructions per second.
ENIAC and UNIVAC is an example of this generation.

12. 1959 - 1963
2ND
GENERATION
COMPUTER
Are made up of a small, solid-state component designed to
monitor the flow of electric current called transistors. This
allows computers to communicate over telephone lines and
have the ability to store 4,000 to 320,000 characters and
could process one million instructions per second.

13. 1964 - 1974
3RD
GENERATION
COMPUTER
A new technology that uses a single chip that equates a
number of transistors and electronic circuits.
