Invention of Computers by Blessing Eromosele https://padlet.com/blesseromosele17/fkj902wr7qlu A computer is a device that can be instructed to carry out arbitrary sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically. The ability of computers to follow generalized sets of operations, called programs, enables them to perform an extremely wide range of tasks. en-us 2017-11-14 16:54:48 UTC 2017-11-16 17:10:26 UTC hello@padlet.com Interesting Facts about computers blesseromosele17 https://padlet.com/blesseromosele17/fkj902wr7qlu/wish/206843445
  • Well, it’s literally a machine that takes what you put into it, and then gives you some information back. So you give it a command, just like you would your dog and it follows the command to give you the result you want. Pretty awesome machines these are.
  • Computers have something called a microprocessor that can make calculations super-fast.
  • They also have a memory, or what is referred to as RAM. This stores all the information you need when you’re not using it. It also keeps everything your computer needs to work nice and safe.
  • Computers have fans to keep them cool; otherwise they’ll get too hot

  • In 1833 a man by the name of Charles Babbage invented all the parts that are now used for a modern computer. But it was only 120 years later that the first ‘modern’ computers were invented.
  • Konrad Zuse was the inventor of the first computer in the world in 1936 and he named it the Z1. In 1939, he created the Z2 as the first electro-mechanical computer in the world.
  • So computers were born, and these early computers were made in the 1940s and were around the size of a large room and they used heaps of electricity. Can you imagine having a computer the size of a large room? How would you be able to sit in front of it?
  • Computers as we know them today only really started being made in 1980.
  • In 1980, the first one gigabyte disk drive was released in the world. It was a whopping US$40,000 with the weight of 550 pounds (almost 227kg).

It was to be digital, automatic, mechanical, and controlled by variable programs. In short, it would solve any calculation you wished.

    • A mill, which was the section which did the calculations (essentially the CPU)
    • The store, where the information was kept recorded (essentially the memory)
    • The reader, which would allow data to be entered using punched cards (essentially the keyboard)
    • The printer.

    Charles Babbage     was born on the  26 December 1791 – 18 October 1871) was an English polymath.A mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer, Babbage originated the concept of a digital programmable computer.


    Considered by some to be a "father of the computer",
    Babbage is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer that eventually led to more complex electronic designs, though all the essential ideas of modern computers are to be found in Babbage's analytical engine.His varied work in other fields has led him to be described as "pre-eminent" among the many polymaths of his century.
