history of computers




The first use of the word "computer" was recorded in 1613, referring to a person who carried out calculations, or computations, and the word continued to be used in that sense until the middle of the 20th century. From the end of the 19th century onwards though, the word began to take on its more familiar meaning, describing a machine that carries out computations.

The Z1 was a mechanical computer designed by Konrad Zuse from 1935 to 1936 and built by him from 1936 to 1938. It was a binary electrically driven mechanical calculator with limited programmability, reading instructions from punched tape.

During the first half of the 20th century, many scientific computing needs were met by increasingly sophisticated analog computers, which used a direct mechanical or electrical model of the problem as a basis for computation. However, these were not programmable and generally lacked the versatility and accuracy of modern digital computers.

Throw the years they have created more advanced computers and computer soft ware. In 1942 John Atanasoff & Clifford Berry created the ABC Compute. In 1964 Douglas Engelbart Computer Mouse & Windows. In 1983 the Apple Lisa Computer was invented. In 1984 the Apple Macintosh Computer was invented. Buy the time of 1985 Microsoft Windows was invented.

Buy the 20th century people have designed the dell computer, the hp laptop, I phone, cell phones with internet. All of these every day computers or cell phones and laptops would not be possible if konrad zuse did not invent the computer.

q- If you could change an important event in the past 1,000 years, what would it be.
q- How would you change it?

a- if i could change anything in the world i would have change the age of driving and drinking.
i would make the age for driving 14 and the age for drinking 16.

Reason i would change the age for driving is because so many chilren at the age of 14 are in high school and sometime they live out where you cant get a ride by the bus and there parents can't drive them because there asleep or at work.

The reason i would change the age of drinking is because, the only reason why teenagers die in car crashes is because they think there cool by braking the law but if you change the law theres no point in drinking to get drunk because they dont fell cool they just fell retarded.
