The Past And Present Of Computers
A computer is a device that can process data according to a set of instructions. It is a form of data processing. Today, the computer (computador) has become an important thing in every home and comes in physical form. The modern computer was invented in the middle of the 20th century, although the concept of a computer (computador) and various similar machines existed before. It really started in 1837, when Charles Babbage made "The Analytical Engine", the first fully functional computer. The first models were big and bulky and used the whole room. The EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator) was one of the first computers that could implement a stored program algorithm. Compared to them, modern computers (computador) have small integrated circuits and are better in terms of capacity and speed as well as accuracy. Today's smaller models can fit on your wrist and are powered by a watch battery. Personal computers can be found in almost every home today and...
