The first modern-style electronic calculator was invented in the 1960s. The first counting device, an abacus, was invented in Egypt in about 2000 BCE. The mechanical calculator was developed in the 17th century.
The counting device invented after the abacus is the calculating machine, with notable examples including Blaise Pascal's Pascaline in the 17th century and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's stepped reckoner. These early mechanical devices were designed to perform arithmetic operations automatically, significantly advancing computational capabilities compared to manual counting methods like the abacus. The development of these machines laid the groundwork for modern calculators and computers.
