A Brief History Of Computers The history of computers starts out about 2000 years ago‚ at the birth of the abacus‚ a wooden rack holding two horizontal wires with beads strung on them. When these beads are moved around‚ according to programming rules memorized by the user‚ all regular arithmetic problems can be done. Another important invention around the same time was the Astrolabe‚ used for navigation. Blaise Pascal is usually credited for building the first digital computer in 1642. It added

I know for sure just that there were no viruses on the Babbidge machine‚ but the Univac 1108 and IBM 360/370 already had them ("Pervading Animal" and "Christmas tree"). Therefore the first virus was born in the very beginning of 1970s or even in the end of 1960s‚ although nobody was calling it a virus then. And with that consider the topic of the extinct fossil

History of generations of Computers The computers that you see and use today hasn’t come off by any inventor at one go. Rather it took centuries of rigorous research work to reach the present stage. And scientists are still working hard to make it better and better. But that is a different story. First‚ let us see when the very idea of computing with a machine or device‚ as against the conventional manual calculation‚ was given a shape. Though experiments were going on even earlier
