business, telephone, television, space travel or meteorology. The computers entered everywhere
and established an insufferable bondage with every field. Now the development of any field is
depended upon computers only because of their fast performance.

एतानि महता वेगेि कर्यं कततं शक्ितवन्तत !

Origin and development of the computer:

An English mathematician named Charles Babbage made the computer in 1822 A. D. to solve
the difficult calculations quickly and easily. In the beginning these were used to perform calculations
only. Later with the efforts of the scientists , these have also become capable of storing the data and
presenting the same immediately when required. Generally the computer performs three tasks.
Input, Processing and output. First it accepts the data, the later it processes and arranges the data in
the order desired. Finally it provides the information in the required manner. The instructions should
be given in the computer language only.
