History of Computer
History of
computer could be traced back to the effort of man to count large numbers. This
process of counting of large numbers generated various systems of numeration
like Babylonian system of numeration, Greek system of numeration, Roman system
of numeration and Indian system of numeration. Out of these the Indian system
of numeration has been accepted universally. It is the basis of modern decimal
system of numeration (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). Later you will know how
the computer solves all calculations based on decimal system. But you will be
surprised to know that the computer does not understand the decimal system and
uses binary system of numeration for processing. ABACUS was the first computer invented by the Chinese. Charles Babbage is called the Father of Modern Computer.
