History Of Computer

Timelines of computer science and technology

This application is about brief history of computer science and technology.

Any device that makes the task of computation easier is a computer. Science of Computer dates back to 20,000BC. During this time the computer was in the form of Tally sticks. These were also called as computer algebra systems as they were primarily used to perform complex mathematical calculations.

However, the foundation stone of computer hardware was laid upon in 1st century. The first Mechanical analog computers were invented during this time. During the medieval era the knowledge of computer science was used mainly for astronomical calculations.

Work on advanced computers started during the second world war. During this time lot of innovations happened in computers science and technology. Computers during this time were huge and were the size of a large room. They also used to consume lot of power.

Human kind's introduction to modern computers happened through the invention of Integrated circuits. These modern computers were billion times more capable than the early machines. Personal computers are now available in the form of tablets, laptops, desktops and have become icons of Modern world.

With the help of computer technicians, scientists and engineers the world is fast evolving into a digitized and connected matrix.
