Date | Event | c. 2400 BC | The abacus - the first known calculator‚ was probably invented by the Babylonians as an aid to simple arithmetic around this time period. This laid the foundations for positional notation and later computing developments. | 1300 | Ramon Llull invented the Lullian Circle: a notional machine for calculating answers to philosophical questions (in this case‚ to do with Christianity) via logical combinatorics. This idea was taken up by Leibniz centuries later‚ and is thus

Throughout the last 25 years‚ computers have evolved from being low speed simple machines to high speed behemoths while still remaining affordable. This quantum leap in their performance was made possible by integration of new technology‚ some of which was made possible through the use of computers themselves. The computers have evolved considerably from being basic set of components made up of Integrated Circuits (ICs) to have a much complex architecture involving microprocessors with millions of
