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
