Rulers of the indus valley?

They were Priest-Kings. There technology even at this remote time was considerable and they had many devices available to them which have not yet been discovered in the modern era.


Who invented the second generation computer?

It depends on how you define computer. If you include primitive calculating devices you can go all the way back to the abacus developed by the Chinese. But assuming you mean the modern computing era of computers began with Charles Babbage's "Difference Engine" in 1822, a mechanical calculator powered by steam engine. Babbage is often called the "Father of Modern Computers". The first electromechanical computer that could tabulate, compile and record data was the Hollerith's Electric Tabulating Machine in 1890, by Herman Hollerith. There were a few other electromechanical devices until the ENIAC by Mauchly and Eckart. ENIAC is the computer that is often called the First Generation Computer in computer science text books. It was developed from 1943 to 1945. It was the first general purpose computer (not just a calculator).


What scientific discoveries were made in the 1800's?

William Whewell coined the term "scientist" in 1833 *Babbage -- invented programmable mechanical calculating machine (a computer!) - 1834 *Alexander Graham Bell -- invented the telephone - 1876; metal detector - 1881 *Louis Braille -- invented the braille system of reading- 1821 *Eduard Buchner -- discovered enzymes - 1896 *Ernst Chladni -- meteorites - early 1800s *Clapeyron -- discovered entropy - 1834 *Pierre and Marie Curie -- discovered radioactivity - 1896 (along with Henri Becquerel) *Doppler -- discovered the Doppler effect - 1842 *Darwin -- published "Origin of Species" and gave us the Theory of Evolution - 1859 *Edison -- phonograph - 1877; incandescent light bulb - 1880 *Faraday -- invented the first electric engine - 1821 *Fizeau -- measured the speed of light - 1849 *Herschel -- discovered the existence of infrared and of radiant heat - 1800 *Joule -- discovered the First Law of Thermodynamics - 1843 *Dmitri Mendeleev -- created the periodic table of elements - 1869 *Michelson -- discovered a more accurate method for measuring the speed of light - 1879 *Ritter -- discovered ultraviolet rays - 1801 *Wilhelm Röntgen -- discovered X-rays - 1895 *Nikola Tesla -- patented hundreds of inventions in many different countries; many of his inventions were patented ''before'' 1900 *Thomas Young -- proposed the theory of light and colours - 1801 *Thompson -- discovered electrons - 1896 The nineteenth century (the 1800s) was an incredible era for scientists and inventors. The inventions and discoveries I've listed above don't even begin to cover the amazing accomplishments of that era.


Why did the Greeks settle Along the coast?

In a pre-mechanical transport era, a cart of food would be consumed by the draft animals in the time it took them to go 200 km, so ships were the only feasible bulk carrier.
