The history of the modern computer begins with two separate technologies—automated calculation and programmability—but no single device can be identified as the earliest computer‚ partly because of the inconsistent application of that term. Examples of early mechanical calculating devices include the abacus‚ the slide rule and arguably the astrolabe and the Antikythera mechanism‚ an ancient astronomical computer built by the Greeks around 80 BC.[4]The Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria (c

I agree that immigrants must learn to speak English if they want to stay in this country. Puedo hablar cualquier English!

Smoking should be illegal! Smoking cigarettes should be banned. The Australian council on smoking and health have stated that more than 18‚000 Australians die prematurely each year from smoking- that’s 50 people per day. There are many people suffering from health problems which are mostly caused by smoking. Australians have to pay taxes for smoking when they don’t even smoke. Do you think this is fair? Children’s health can be affected by tobacco smoke especially when it occurs indoors. Smoking

I both agree and disagree with mark twains essay. He did live in a different time‚ however cruelty still exists the same‚ just in a different age and time. If one analyzes the Human race or all animals‚ one can find vulgarity in both creatures. To say which is of a higher or lower status because of barbaric qualities both humans and animals both have‚ cannot be compared properly. Animals do some awful things to each other as well as human beings . Mark Twain just lists human’s bad aspects. There

I believe these critics are each right in their own way from my understanding of the
