What did the very first computer look like?

Answer 1

The screen was very bad and it was much heavier and bigger than computers today. They took up entire rooms and a hard disk for 5 megs was ans wide as your arms are long (this is 80s military tech). They also had what look like giant casset players (as tall as you are wider then your arm span). This was used to play the previous version of the floppy, which was a long magnetic tape, just like VHS and tapes.

Answer 2

• Abacus: was used by the Babylonians in around 3000 BC.

The abacus was one of the earliest counting devices in Asia and parts of Europe. It is still used today for arithmetic: adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.

Traditionally the Chinese abacus has 2 beads in the top section over the horizontal bar and 5 beads in the lower section, for each "column". The upper row beads could each represent one hand. The lower columns could represent the 10 fingers.
