Abacus

 One of the earliest and most ancient known calculating machine.  It is also called a counting frame, is a calculating tool used primarily in parts of Asia for performing arithmetic processes.  It is an instrument that uses beads which slide along a series of metal rods or thick wires in a frame that represent the decimal places.  Oldest known Abacus is Salamis Tablet, first used by the Babylonians in 300 B.C.

Napiers Bone

 It is an abacus created by John Napier in 1617 A.D. for calculation of products and quotients of numbers that was based on Arab mathematics and lattice multiplication used by Matrakci Nasuh in the Umdet-ul Hisab and Fibonacci writing in the Liber Abaci.  He devised a set of algorithms based on multiplication tables carved in ivory sticks called Napiers Bone.

Babbages Analytical Engine (1832)

 Invented by Charles Babbage.  This was a machine that evaluated and printed mathematical tables by adding sequentially the difference between some polynomial values.

EDVAC
 EDVAC (Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer) was one of the earliest electronic computers. The EDVAC is the successor of the ENIAC.  Its public presentation was carried through in 1947.  This machine should be able to hold any programme in memory that was fed to it. This would be possible because EDVAC was going to have more internal memory than any other computing device to date. In other words a multi-purpose computer.  ENIAC inventors John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert proposed the EDVAC's construction in August 1944, and design work for the EDVAC commenced before the ENIAC was fully operational.

ENIAC
 ENIAC (Electrical Numerical Integrator And Calculator).  It is the first large scale general purpose electronic computer, built by John W. Munchly and J. Presper Eckert in 1946.  It is capable of being programmed and had the ability to perform wide range of functions.

Harvard Mark I
 It was developed in 1994 by Howard Aiken.  It was used by the U.S Navy and was considered one of the first digital computers.  It consisted of many different calculators which were mandated by a single control unit.
