We did enjoy learning about where computers were invented and who was the inventor of the original computer and the modern computer but there was a lot of miscommunication and thought we weren't  gonna get anything done. i wish we could have managed our time better and worked together.

But the first computer resembling today's modern machines was the Analytical Engine, a device conceived and designed by British mathematician Charles Babbage between 1833 and 1871.The Difference Engine was capable of computing several sets of numbers and making hard copies of the results. In June of 1991, the London Science Museum completed the Difference Engine No 2 for the bicentennial year of Babbage's birth and later completed the printing mechanism in 2000.]]> 2017-11-16 00:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_ajegwu/roui29wvv0y9/wish/207488688 Research and outline of evolutionary History victoria_ajegwu https://padlet.com/victoria_ajegwu/roui29wvv0y9/wish/207488689 the abacus or its descendant was the first idea of an computer invented by William Oughtred in 1622. ]]> 2017-11-16 00:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_ajegwu/roui29wvv0y9/wish/207488689 Evolution of computers victoria_ajegwu https://padlet.com/victoria_ajegwu/roui29wvv0y9/wish/207488691 2017-11-16 00:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_ajegwu/roui29wvv0y9/wish/207488691 time line victoria_ajegwu https://padlet.com/victoria_ajegwu/roui29wvv0y9/wish/207713085 1936 |   | "A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits"

    Electrical engineer and mathematician Claude Shannon, in his master’s thesis, "A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits," uses Boolean algebra to establish a working model for digital circuits. This paper, as well as later research by Shannon, lays the groundwork for the future telecommunications and computer industries.



      | 1939 |   | Atanasoff-Berry Computer, the first electronic computer

    John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry at Iowa State College design the first electronic computer. The obscure project, called the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC), incorporates binary arithmetic and electronic switching. Before the computer is perfected, Atanasoff is recruited by the Naval Ordnance Laboratory and never resumes its research and development. However, in the summer of 1941, at Atanasoff’s invitation, computer pioneer John Mauchly of the University of Pennsylvania, visits Atanasoff in Iowa and sees the ABC demonstrated.



      | 1939 |   | First binary digital computers are developed

    The first binary digital computers are developed. Bell Labs’s George Stibitz designs the Complex Number Calculator, which performs mathematical operations in binary form using on-off relays, and finds the quotient of two 8-digit numbers in 30 seconds. In Germany, Konrad Zuse develops the first programmable calculator, the Z2, using binary numbers and Boolean algebra—programmed with punched tape.



      | 1943 |   | First vacuum-tube programmable logic calculator

    Colossus, the world’s first vacuum-tube programmable logic calculator, is built in Britain for the purpose of breaking Nazi codes. On average, Colossus deciphers a coded message in two hours.
