The invention process of the computer started around 3000 years ago. The computer started out as an “Abacus”. An ‘Abacus’is a rack made of wood with two wires running parallel to each other. On the wires there are beads. By moving the beads anyone can solve simple math problems. Next, there was the ‘Astrolabe’, used for navigating. The first digital computer was invented in 1642 by Blaise Pascal. It consisted of numbers entered in dials but, it could only add. However in 1671, a computer was invented that was eventually built in 1694. The man to credit for this invention is Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz. Unlike Pascal’s computer, Leibniz’s could add and multiply
A computer is a machine that can be programmed to automatically carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations (computation). Modern digital electronic computers can perform generic sets of operations known as programs. These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks.
