History of computer
Many years ago, people used their fingers and toes in counting. They
also used stones, pebbles and cowries. Sometimes, seeds of plants
like the palm kernel were also used in counting. When many things
had to be counted, people could no longer use their fingers andtoes,
or stones, pebbles, cowries, sticks and seeds in counting, and then
the computer was invented, and was made as a counting machine.

2. Blaise Pascal
A Frenchman called Blaise Pascal made the first adding machine in
1642. It was a very big machine. Blaise Pascal’s father used this
machine in recording taxes collected and spent by the government.

3. Sir Samuel Morland

Sir Samuel Morland, an Englishman, invented three calculating
machines between 1663 and
1666. The first one was used for addition and subtraction of money.
The other two were used for more difficult arithmetic.

4. Charles Babbage
Charles Babbage, another Englishman, made the first machine that
calculates and stores information. His computer was better than an
ordinary calculator. It was a very big machine.
Charles Babbage is therefore known as the father of the computer.

The history ofcomputing covers the developments from early
counting tools such as stone, pebbles and sticks, to devices to aid
calculation such as abacus, to modern day computers. Before 20th
century, most calculations were done by humans. Early mechanical
tools to help humans with digital calculation followed like the
abacus were called calculating machines now known as calculator.
Computers were first made basically to calculate, but now we use
computer to search for information, input information and retrieve
information.
Sequences of computer graduation
Sequence of computer can also be called generations of computers.
Generations of computers are the stagesthe computer has passed
through beforebecoming what we now have as computers.There are
five stages of development orgenerations of computer. Each stage of
development is a generation of thecomputer.

First generation computers

When computers were first made, they werelarge and costly. They
gave out heat when
used. They were also slow in makingcalculations and could only
store very fewitems of information. They also needed
muchelectricity before they could be used.

Second generation computers

Soon, the large, costly and slow computerswere no longer used by
many people. Newcomputers which were cheaper and smallerthan
the first ones had been made. Thesewere thesecond-generation
computers.These new computers stored many moreitems of
information than the earlier computers.They also used less
electricity and were faster than the first generation.
Third generation computers
In the third-generation computers, the electricpathways were all
joined together as one and moved very fast, insidethe computers.
This was called an integratedcircuit. The third-generation
computers werecheaper, smaller and faster than the second-
generation computers. They also used lesselectricity and gave out
less heat when used.

Fourth- generation computers

The type of computers we use today are thefourth-generation
computers. The electric
pathways are even more completely joinedtogether inside the
computers.The large-scale integrated circuits havemade the fourth-
generation computers betterthan all the earlier ones. They are
smaller,cheaper and store more items of informationthan the third-
generation computers, used less electricity, faster and well known all
over the world.
Fifth generation computers
The makers of computers are still working hardto make even better
computers. These are the
fifth generation computers.They are the next generation of
computers.Scientists think that these computers will actlike human
beings.

Description of computer keyboard

A computer keyboard is an input device used to enter characters
and functions into the computer system by pressing buttons, or keys.
It is the primary device used to enter text. A keyboard typically
contains keys for individual letters, numbers and special characters,
as well as keys for specific functions. A keyboard is connected to a
computer system using a cable or a wireless connection. The
individual keys for letters, numbers and special characters are
collectively called the character keys.The most widely used layout in
the English language is called QWERTY, named after the sequence
of the first six letters from the top left.
