A Short History Of Computers

One of the greatest inventions of the era is of course the computer. Billions of people use computers in their daily lives around the world. For decades, the computer has evolved from a very slow and expensive hardware hyper-intelligent machines of today with incredible performance.
No single person with the invention of the computer has been credited, many believe that Konrad Zuse and his Z1, the first in a long series of innovations that we were the computers of today. Konrad Zuse was a German, became famous for having created the first computer programmable mechanical equipment in 1936.
Zuse Z1 has focused on three fundamental elements that are still necessary in today’s computer generated. Later created Konrad Zuse Z2 and Z3. The first of the Mark series computers have been built at Harvard. The Mark I began in 1944 and this computer was to fill a huge room with a height of 55 feet long and 8 feet high. The Mark I could perform a variety of calculations. It has been a success and has been used by the U.S. Navy. It was in service until 1959.
