HISTORY OF COMPUTERS The abacus was an early aid for mathematical computations. Its only value is that it aids the memory of the human performing the calculation. A skilled abacus operator can work on addition and subtraction problems at the speed of a person equipped with a hand calculator. The abacus is often wrongly attributed to China. In fact‚ the oldest surviving abacus was used in 300 B.C. by the Babylonians. The abacus is still in use today‚ principally in the far east. A modern abacus
