The History Of Computer By: Arnishia Taylor
Who Invented Computers • "Who invented the computer?" is not a question with a simple answer. The real answer is that many inventors contributed to the history of computers and that a computer is a complex piece of machinery made up of many parts, each of which can be considered a separate invention.
What Is The Computer? • A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a list of instructions.
When Was The Computer Invented • Nobody knows for certain when the first computer was invented, though there are many precursors to the modern computer. Many of them operate on mechanical rather than electronic principles. The computers invented prior to the 20th century were not digital and most were not programmable. The history of computers can be traced as far back as 3000 BC .
Why Was The Computer Invented? • Computers were created to do math for navigation and general calculation purposes. Collosus, the first electronic computer, was built to crack the enigma code.
