count and make calculations. • The human body’s ten fingers and ten toes apparently caused early man to construct a tool to help with those calculations. • Digit is not only used to refer a finger (or toe) but as well as a numerical quantity where the 10 fingers correspond to 10 digits in the common base-10 number system . • Scientists now know that humankind invented an early form of computers. Their clue was a bone carved with prime number found in 8,500 BC using TALLY SYSTEM. • The development of the modern day computer was the result of advances in technologies and man's need to quantify. • Papyrus helped early man to record language and numbers. • The abacus was one of the first counting machines. 8,500 BC Bone carved with prime numbers 1,000 BC Abacus Used a series of movable beads to 500 BC or rocks. The positions changed when entering a number and performing mathematical operations. 1642 Blaise Pascal’s adding machine Upgrade DaVinci’s invention of the world’s first mechanical calculator. 1822 Charles Babbage drafted Babbage It would not only calculate Difference Engine numbers, it would also be capable of printing mathematical tables. 1835 Babbage Analytical Engine This computing device use punch cards as the control mechanism for calculations. 1843 Ada Byron Lovelace, world’s first computer Help Babbage to let the programmer Analytical Engine produce graphics and music. 1943 Allan Turing, the father of computer It was pressed into service to science decipher World War II coded messages from Germany.
