• First true calculating machine
• In use since 1100 B.C.• Still used in some countries

• In 1617, Scottish mathematician John Napier created a device to perform logarithm calculators
• Soon after an English clergyman named William Oughtred created a device based on this and named it the “slide rule”
• It remained in use for the next 350 years until the electronic calculator was invented.

• In the early 1830s, English mathematician Charles Babbage designed the analytical engine.• Intended to be used to create math tables for navigation at sea
• Completely mechanical and powered by steam
• Could be programmed to perform different tasks

• First major development in computing hardware came after the results of the 1880 US Census took 7 years to tabulate
• US Census Bureau conducted a contest for a faster method, and Herman Hollerith invented the punched card.
• He formed company which later became IBM

• Mark I and ENIAC arrived onthe scene during WWII. They were used to calculate weapon trajectories and help build atomic bombs.
• The early computers used punched cards
• They were VERY expensive and used enough electricity to light up a small town.
• In 1951, the UNIVAC was first mass-produced. It was the first general purpose computer.
• In 1953, IBM started selling computers

• VERY expensive and HUGE – required large rooms and a lot of A/C
• Used vacuum tubes (slow/hot, similar to light bulbs)
![Page 11: Abacus – 1100 BC Slide rule - 1617 Mechanical calculator - 1642 Automatic loom (punched cards) - 1804 Babbage’s computer – 1830s Boolean logic – 1850s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e1b5503460f94b0917c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Grace Hopper coined the term “bug” when there was a computer malfunction. The original “bug” was a moth that was lodged in the circuitry and created a hardware problem in a Mark I computer. Hopper “debugged” the computer byremoving the moth.

• Major breakthrough
• In 1947, engineers from Bell Laboratories invented the transistor
• It replaced the vacuum tubes
• Much smaller, faster and more reliable
• Relied on other electronic components to form circuits
Portable transistor radio

• An even bigger breakthrough
• In the late 1950s, engineers from Texas Instruments created integrated circuit
• Instead of soldering components after the are made, they were manufactured all together on a chip of silicon
• Also known as the microchip
![Page 14: Abacus – 1100 BC Slide rule - 1617 Mechanical calculator - 1642 Automatic loom (punched cards) - 1804 Babbage’s computer – 1830s Boolean logic – 1850s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e1b5503460f94b0917c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Advanced the integrated circuit even further
• In the 1971, engineers from Intel Corporation designed the first microprocessor
• All chips needed for the CPU were put together on one chip
• Made the PC possible

• Altair 8800 created in 1975 as a mail-order kit
• Also in 1975, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Monte Davidoff wrote BASIC programming language
• Meanwhile Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs were busy creating the Apple II in 1977
• At this time Visicalc (spreadsheet program) was created for the Apple
• In 1981, the IBM PC was created and shortly after Microsoft was formed and the MS-DOS operating system was created

• In the 1990s the internet was born. This was a very significant revolution
• The World Wide Web allowed us to connect to servers across the world
• We can now to go to our favorite websites, to order products, to communicate via email or facebook, etc.
![Page 17: Abacus – 1100 BC Slide rule - 1617 Mechanical calculator - 1642 Automatic loom (punched cards) - 1804 Babbage’s computer – 1830s Boolean logic – 1850s.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e1b5503460f94b0917c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• In early 2000’s there was an explosion of handheld computers
• Examples are GPS units, tablets, smart phones
• Smart phones can now do the following: handle phone calls, take pictures, run apps, do calculations, browse the internet, etc.
• Personal translators act as speaking dictionaries

• “Cloud computing” refers to the cloud of powerful computers (servers) on the internet
• The servers provide “temporary” software that we can use at home
• Examples: tax software, photoshop
• Software is stored inPC memory (not yourhard drive)
