A Brief History Of Computers
By Logan Rokwild, Mon Jan 2nd

The word 'computer' originally implied a person, who, underinstructions from a mathematician, performed mechanicalcalculations. Mechanical calculating devices such as the abacuswere often put to use to aid this process.

At the end of the Middle Ages, mathematics and engineering inEurope received a considerable boost, thus leading to theinvention of numerous mechanical calculating devices. Thetechnology for clockwork was developed by the early 17thcentury. The period between the early 19th century and early20th century saw the development of a number of technologieswhich would be vital for the development of the digital computerlater on. Some examples are the punched card and the valve.Charles Babbage was the first person to design a fully programmablecomputer as early as 1837. However, he was unable toactually construct his due to a variety of reasons.

Analog computers were increasingly used in the first half of the20th century for a number of scientific computing needs.However, they became obsolete after the development of thedigital computer.

The first digital was the Atanasoff Berry . Itused a binary system of arithmetic, parallel processing, aseparation of memory and computing
