Technology is nothing more than the use of tools. The Abacus The abacus is the counting frame that was the most widely used device for doing arithmetic in ancient times. It consisted of a board with grooves in which pebbles could slide. That device is still in use nowadays. In the seventeenth century, calculators more sophisticated than the abacus started appearing. Although a number of people contributed to the development of the first calculator, it was Blaise Pascal (French mathematician and philosopher) who invented it. Wilhelm von Leibniz’s (German mathematician and philosopher) participating in research was of great help to him. The first calculators were unreliable, since the mechanical technology of the time was not capable of manufacturing the parts with sufficient precision. As manufacturing techniques improved, mechanical calculators eventually were perfected; they were used widely until electronic calculators replaced in recent times. Charles Babbage, the inventor of the nineteenth century computer When was the automatic computer invented? In 1930s? In 1940s? Thinking so you are off by hundred years. A computer that was modern in conception was designed in the 1830s. One should remember the name of Charles Babbage, the inventor of the nineteenth century computer. His studying of punched-card controlled machines gave rise for future innovations.
