Module Overview:
Have you ever wondered what was the first computer and when was it created? It started from a simple device, as
necessity demanded, inventors created better calculating devices and over time computers became more and more
powerful. Let us appreciate and understand the history of computers –describe the generations of computer design leading
up to the present .

COMPUTER comes from the word COMPUTE means “to count ”.


HOW IT ALL STARTED?
Development of Computers from ancient times to present:
 Ancient Times: ABACUS (first invented calculator by Babylonians)
 1642 : The adding machine(Pascaline) by Blaise Pascal
 1801 : Automatic weaving loom controlled by punch cards, Joseph Marie- Jacquard
 1833 : Analytical Engine by Charles Babbage
 1890 : Tabulating Machine by Herman Hollerith
 1944 : The First Electromechanical computer (MARK) of Howard Aiken & Grace HOPPER at Harvard University
 1946 : The first general purpose electronic digital computer ENIAC ( Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer)
 1949 : The first stored-program computer, EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer)
 1951-1958 : The first generation computers – Vacuum Tubes of UNIVAC(Universal Automatic Computer)
 1959-1964 : The second generation computers – Transistors and Diodes
 1965-1970 : The third generation computers –Integrated Circuits
