The abacus is the original mechanical counting device. It was likely first used over five thousand years ago, and used beads to keep track of numbers.
You can find specific information about the Abacus' contribution to the development of the computer from computer history websites on the Internet. You can also read about it from textbooks.

abacus
Yes, it was an early mechanical computer. It is regarded as the first computer, made over 5000 years ago. An abacus is not like a modern computer. People think of a computer as an electronic, programmable device that can store, retrieve, and process data. There were many computing devices prior to the electronic computer that had processing capabilities. They were mechanical devices and are computers. There are many different kinds of computing devices and an abacus is one of them.
An abacus is not a computer system as zero parts of the abacus are electrical. For the abacus to be a computer system, it has to have an input, output and process and store data. If even one of the following is not true then the device will not be considered a computer system. An abacus can not store data, as the human using the abacus will have to memorise the sequences instead of the abacus being able to memorise on its own.
The abacus was developed by the Babylonians in 2000 BC. Though mechanical, it is considered to be one of the earliest computers.
