computer invented? The word “computer” was first used in 1613. It meant the person who performs the calculations.
But the technology did
not stop at this stage, so people began to develop it. The first computer was invented by English mathematician Charles Babbage in 1822. In 1936-1938, the German scientist Conrad Zouze created the Z1 - the first electromechanical programmable binary computer. At the same time, in 1936, Alan Turing built the Turing machine. World War II also affected the development of computers. In December 1943, Tommy Flowers introduced a secreted car called "Colossus", which helped British agents break the ciphers of German messages. The TX-O computer, introduced in 1956 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was the first to use transistors. Then a team of scientists involved in the development of TX-O founded Digital Equipment Corporation and in 1960 introduced the computer PDP-1. The first desktop computers began to be released by Hewlett Packard in 1968. Thank you for your attention!
