    The document traces the development of computers from early mechanical devices created by Pascal, Leibniz, and Babbage in the 1600s-1800s to the first modern electronic computers developed by Atanasoff and Bush in the 1930s-1940s. It then outlines major milestones in computing such as the transistor computer in 1958, integrated circuits in the 1970s, personal computers and operating systems in the 1980s, and the rise of mobile technology that led to smartphones by the 2010s.
