The early computers
The history of computers dates back much longer than the 1900s have indeed computers over 5000 years.
In ancient times a "Computer" (or "Computor") was the numerical calculations under the direction of a mathematician a person.
Some of the more popular devices used, the abacus or the Antikythera mechanism.
Connect to the CA 1725 Basile Bouchon perforated paper in a loom used the pattern on the fabric to be reproduced. This ensures that the pattern was always the same and had hardly any human error.
Later, to the 1801 Joseph Jacquard (1752-1834), the punch card to automate idea to more devices with great success.
The first computers?
Charles Babbage's. (1792-1871), was far ahead of time, and you use the punch card idea he developed the first computing devices that are used for scientific purposes. He invented the Charles Babbage's difference engine he 1823 started but never finished. Later he began his work on the analytical engine, designed in 1842.
Babbage was also ascribed to reinvent computing concepts of as conditional branches, iterative loops and index variable.
Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), was a colleague of Babbage and founder of scientific computing.
Many people improved the Babbage inventions George Beck with his son Edvard Scheutz, and began work on a smaller version of 1853 had built a machine, the 15-digit numbers to process files and fourth-order differences could.
Was the first known commercial use (and success) the U.S. Census Bureau that used punch cards-designed by Herman Hollerith, tabulate data for the census in 1890, the computer.
For the cyclical nature of the Census Bureau's demand to compensate Hollerith who (1896), was one of the three companies pattern machine company, founded his machines merged to IBM in 1911.
Later, Claude Shannon (1916-2001) first digital electronics computers and 1937 suggested and J.V.Atanasoff built the first electronic computer, which could solve 29 equations with 29 unknown. But this device was not programmable
During those times trouble developed the computer at a fast pace. But because of the limitations by many projects remained secret until 1943 is much developed later and remarkable example of British military "Colossus" by Alan Turing and his team.
In the late 1940s army John V. Mauchly's behalf a device to calculate ballistics to develop throughout the second WELTKRIEGS. Turns out the machine was Integrator only 1945 ready but the electronic numerical and computer or the ENIAC was a turning point in computer history.
ENIAC was a very efficient machine but very easy to use none. Changes need to be reprogrammed at some point the device itself. The engineers were to recognize this obvious problem and developed "stored program architecture".
John von Neumann (counsel to ENIAC), Mauchly and his team of developed EDVAC, this new project uses stored program.
Eckert and Mauchly developed later, what was probably the first commercially successful computer, the UNIVAC.
Software technology during this period was very primitive. First programs were written in machine code. In the 1950s programmers a symbolic notation became known as Assembly language, then use the symbolic notation to machine code hand-translate. Later the translation task known as assembler programs performed.
The transistor era, the end of the inventor.
Late 1950 saw the end of the valve driven computers. Transistor-based computers were used because they were smaller, cheaper, faster and more reliable.
Corporations, but as the inventor, the new computers produced now.
Some who are better known:
TRADIC at Bell Laboratories in 1954,
TX-0 at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory
IBM 704 and his successors, the 709 and 7094. The latter led i I/o processors for better throughput between i/O devices and memory
First supper computer, the Livermore atomic research computer (LARC) and the IBM 7030 (aka stretch)
Texas Instruments advanced scientific computers (TI-ASC)
Now the base of the computer was in place with transistors computers were faster and stored program architecture use the computer for just about everything.
New high level programs soon arrived, worked in the development of the CPL (combined programming language, 1963) FORTRAN (1956), ALGOL (1958), and COBOL (1959), Cambridge and the University of London. Martin Richards of Cambridge a subset of the CPL developed called BCPL (basic computer programming language 1967).
1969 The CDC 7600 was released, it could run 10 million floating point operations per second (10 Mflops).
The network's.
From 1985 forward the race was on as many transistors on a computer as possible. Each of them do could ease of use. Been but apart from faster and more perform operations that the computer has developed much.
The concept of parallel processing is more common in the 1990s.
In computer networking and wide area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN) technology developed at a rapid pace
