History of Computers


History of Computers

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..
Some of the earlier mechanical counting machines lacked the technology to
 make the design work. For instance, some had parts made of wood prior to
 metal manipulation and manufacturing. Imagine the wear on wooden gears. 
This history of computers site includes the names of early pioneers of math and
 computing and links to related sites about the History of Computers, for further
 study. This site would be a good Web adjunct to accompany any book on the
 History of Computers or Introduction to Computers. The "H" Section includes a
 link to the History of the Web Beginning at CERN which includes Bibliography
 and Related Links. Hitmill.com strives to always include related links for a broader
 educational experience. The material was originally divided into Part 1 & Part 2
