History of computers
I've been struggling to know the first computer that ever
existed on earth..what is the first computer?? How it looked like? or is it a
term that emerged from calculator?This is the question that haunts many
computer students including me..
The answer to this question can be explained in different
ways:But a simple answer is
Computer was actually a "job title" given to
people,which is used to describe those human beings(predominantly women)whose
job was to perform repetitive calculations in tide charts,navigation tables and
planetary positions for astronomical almanacs.
Hour after hour and day after day if we were given
such heinous tasks to perform calculations repetitively..what will happen?? The
work will be "Boring" we become "Careless" and this leads
to mistakes i.e., we provide "inaccurate" data and we don't get the
results very fastly!! So investors have been searching for a way to mechanize
this work!! That is the reason why computers have been invented..Earlier there
used to be mechanical computers and later electronic computers have come into
existence!!
