Evolution of Computers
Idea of computing is as old as the civilisation itself.
1450 B.C. Abacus
• The first known calculating device.
• Made by the Chinese.
• A wooden frame with a number of wires with beads strung through them.
• Beads were used for counting and calculations.
•To show a number, beads were pulled down so that each rod represented a digit.

Evolution of Computers
1600 Napier Bones• Counting device for multiplication• Invented by John Napier, a Scottish
Mathematician.• Strips with numbers written on them.• Stripes were arranged properly to read
the numbers in adjacent columns to get the answer of multiplication operation.

1. Fast
• Able to process data & give output in fractions of second.
• A Powerful computer is capable of executing about 3 millions calculations/second.
2. Accurate
• In spite of its high speed, error hardly occurs as its accuracy is consistently high enough.

3. Reliable• The output generated by the computer is
very reliable.• But for reliable output, input should also be
reliable.
4. Large Storage CapacityIt can store huge data in small storage devices.
5. VersatileIt can work upon numbers, graphics, audio,
video etc. making it really versatile.

6. Works AutomaticallyOnce the instructions in the form of program
are fed, it works automatically without any human help until the completion of that task.
7. DiligentIt never feels tired & distracted. Its
performance is constant.
8. No EmotionsComputers do not have emotional, ego &
psychological problems which are destructive in nature.

9. No IQ
Computer works as a very good assistant as it has no IQ. It 100% obeys the user.
