Brief history of computer

Answer 1

The development of the modern day computer was the result of advances in technologies and man's need to quantify. Papyrus helped early man to record language and numbers. The abacus was one of the first counting machines. .

Some of the earlier mechanical counting machines lacked the technology to make the design work. For instance, some had parts made of wood prior to metal manipulation and manufacturing. Imagine the wear on wooden gears. This history of computers site includes the names of early pioneers of math and computing and links to related sites about the History of Computers, for further study. This site would be a good Web adjunct to accompany any book on the History of Computers or Introduction to Computers. The "H" Section includes a link to the History of the Web Beginning at CERN which includes Bibliography and Related Links. Hitmill.com strives to always include related links for a broader educational experience. The material was originally divided into Part 1

Xerox made the first Graphical user interface which Apple, Microsoft, Linux and Solaris took advantage from. Desktop computers, laptop computers, Tablet pcs and Iphone/Ipad/iPod Touch

Answer 3

def: A Computer is a multi purpose, electronic tool which can receive data (Input), process data, and show it (Output).

This means you can give data to your computer from an input device such as a keyboard, game pad etc. The computer will then process it using the Central Processing Unit and Memory available, and then output it in the form of soft copy ( Screen), hard copy (printing, speakers etc.)

can't help you on history though.

Hope it helped.
