Computer(Gustav)

=Research String= "Computer + History" = Who invited it. = Charles Babbage, the person who invented the computer, was also a profound philosopher. He was the person who broke the indecipherable cipher and tried to establish the reason of man's creation Information From www.buzzle.com Many say the first computer is the "difference engine." The first of these devices was conceived in 1786 by J.H. Müller. It was never built. Information from Answer.comEnglish mathematician Charles Babbage (1792–1871) designed a mechanical computing machine called the "analytical engine." It is considered the forerunner of the digital computer, a programmable electronic device that stores, retrieves, and processes data. = What is It = > [|wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn] > [|en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer] = Why did they invent it = Babbage was responsible for building the world's first analytical engine in 1837. The first official computer was the [|Numerator] Integrator Analyzer and Computer (ENIAC) which was built in 1945. It was heavier than 25 tonnes and could fill out an entire room or two. Its purpose was to add and subtract In 1820, Babbage became interested in the construction of a special purpose machine to automate part of the process of table making. This project was sufficiently important to attract substantial government backing, but no machine was built. We know that the designs were feasible since a few machines based on Babbage's ideas were actually built and operated during the 19th century. A plausible argument can be made that the British Government's investment was more than repaid by the Babbage project's role as a nursery for British precision engineering http://plus.maths.org/issue20/features/korner/ = When was it invented = As mathematics became more complex, it got harder and harder to invent mechanical devices to solve math problems. One of these devices was conceived in 1786 by J. H. Mueller, who called it a "Difference Engine." It was never built

Unfortunately this question has no easy answer because of all the different types of classifications and types of [|computers]. Therefore this document has been created with a listing of each of the first computers starting with the first programmable computer leading up to the computers of today. Keep in mind that early inventions such as the abacus, calculators, tablet machines, difference machine, etc. are not accounted for in this document

The Information Revolution was a dramatic change that took place during the last half of the 20th century. It created jobs ranging from high technology and highly skilled professions to low-skill jobs. The Information Revolution began with the invention of the integrated circuit or computer chip. These chips have revolutionized our lives, they run our appliances, provide calculators, computers, and other electronic devices that control our world uk.answers.yahoo.com = How is it still used today = You could use a computer to: 1)Listen to music 2)Watch videos (Even TV Shows) 3)Play video games 4)Interact with people 5)Get information on anything 6)Shopping
