The Antikythera mechanism (pronounced /ˌæntɪkɪˈθɪərə/ AN-ti-ki-THEER-ə), is conjectured to be an ancient mechanical computer[1][2] designed to calculate astronomical positions. It was recovered in 1900-01 from the Antikythera wreck,[3] but its complexity and significance were not understood until decades later. It is now thought to have been built about 150-100 BC. Technological artifacts of similar complexity did not reappear until the 14th century, when mechanical astronomical clocks appeared in Europe.

What is the first analog computing device?
The first analogue computing device was the human mind. Yes, it's true; the human mind is an analog device.
Is operational amplifier is analog or digital?
analog device
What is the difference between manual computing device and automatic computing device?
poda myir
What are advantages of analog tachometer?
Analog computing mechanisms can reach a solution much faster than digital computing mechanisms can for the same problem; but to get more digits of accuracy, analog computing mechanisms require expensive high-precision, low-drift, temperature-stable components, while digital computing mechanisms can be expanded inexpensively to as many digits as desired.
What type of device is an Antenna ie analog or digital?
An antenna is analog it is not classified as being a digital device.
Earliest computer dates back to when?
The earliest known computing device, the Antikythera Mechanism, dates back to about 100 BC. It is mechanical and analog, it is believed to have done astronomical and navigational calculations.
Is iPad a mobile computing device?
Yes. An iPad is a mobile computing device.
What are the example of analog devices?
The examples of analog devices are as following: 1. The telautograph 2. Analog synthesizer 3. Analog television 4. Analog Computer
Is a computer an analog device?
The majority of modern computing devices are digital. That means they work by using many on and off type electrical signals. Analog computers work by using vary ranges of constantly-changing signals in real-time without converting them to digital sequences first.
Electronic Instrumentation for measurement and control analog computing and simulation?
electronics instruments
What is it called when you convert a digital signal to analog?
When you convert digital signal to analog, it is called as an analog signal. The device used is called digital to analog converter.
What is the earliest computer device?
It mostly depends upon what you mean by "computing". Computing device can simply mean that the device is programmable and capable of automated calculations. In this case, the earliest known computing device is the "castle clock",invented by Al-Jazari. It was considered the earliest programmable analog computer, dating to 1206. The castle clock was able to automatically open doors to represent that an hour in a day has passed, and it was also able to be programmed to change the amount of time it keeps track of to show that a day has passed, allowing the user to compensate for the changing lengths of day and night throughout the year.
