 origins of computing machine
Gear-based Machines
Pascaline
• Invented by Blaise Pascal.
• It was its limitation to Pascaline
addition and subtraction.
Leibniz's Wheel or Step Reckoner
• Invented by Gottfried
Wilhelm Leibniz in 1672.
• The machine that can add,
subtract, multiply and divide

 Early data storage
Jacquard Loom

• The Jacquard loom is a mechanical

loom, invented by Joseph-Marie
Jacquard in 1881.
• It an automatic loom controlled
by punched cards.

• December 26, 1791-
October 18, 1871
• English mathematician and
inventor
• Computer pioneer,
designed the first
automatic computing
engines

December 10, 1815-
November 27, 1852

Augusta Ada King,

Countess of Lovelace

written a description of
Charles Babbage's invention

Computer language Ada, created by

the U.S. Defense Department, was
named after her.

 EARLY COMPUTERS

• Z4 Computer- 1944 Whirlwind Computer- 1951

• German Eng. Ronrad Zuse • Jay Wright Forrester
• automatic computing
• first computer to use
machine
video displays for outputs
• addition took 0.4 sec
8
 First generation-vacuum tubes
• First developed by John
Ambrose Fleming
• Were used in early
computers as a switch or
an amplifier

9
 First generation-early
computers
• First electronic digital
computer built by Konrad
Zuse, who developed his
first machine, the Z1

• Used the binary system

10
 First generation-early
computers
• Atanasoff-Berry Computer
is considered the first
electronic digital computer
• Used vacuum tubes (over
300 vacuum tubes)
• Developed by Dr. John
Atanasoff and his
assistant Clifford Berry
11
 1946- ENIAC
• ENIAC stands for
Electronic Numerical
Integrator and Computer
• It was the first electronic
general purpose
computer
• Developed by John
Presper Eckert and John
W. Mauchly
12
 • 30 feet long, 8 feet
wide, and 8 feet
high
• 3 additions every
second
• made up of over
18,000 vacuum
tubes
13
 ““It was the first
machine that
assisted the power
of man’s brain
instead of the
strength of his arm.”
- Grace Hopper

14
did you know?
• ENIAC was used extensively for
calculations during the design of
the hydrogen bomb
• It had been used for research on the
design of wind tunnels, random
number generators, and weather
prediction
 1951- UNIVAC
• UNIVAC stands for UNIVersal
Automatic Computer
• The world's first commercially
available computer
• Developed by John Presper
Eckert and John W. Mauchly
(designers of ENIAC)

16
 • Used to calculate company payrolls,
sales records, analysis of sales
performance and other company
business.
• 3,000 additions every second
• Became thousand times faster in
5 years
• Was used for computing with large
amounts of input and output.
