The rapid development of modern electronic computer technology is inseparable from the accumulation of human science and technology knowledge. It is not to open a lot of scientists who are keen on this and the painstance. It is the accumulation of this generation to build today's "information building". . Below this computer development brief history, although it is not a very detailed description of this brilliant process, we can also feel the hardships and science and technology of science and technology.
I. Pioneer in the mechanical computer era
In Western Europe, the social change of the social revision period in the Middle Ages has greatly promoted the development of natural science and technology, and people have been unprecedented by the creativity of Shenshi suppression. Among them, a machine that helps people calculates is one of the most dazzling ideological sparks. Since then, another scientist makes efforts to make this ideological spark into the torch that guides humans into the liberty of the kingdom. However, it is limited to the overall level of technology at the time, most of them fail, this is the common fate of Pioneers: often can't see the fruitful fruit. When you enjoy this sweetness, you should have some sweat and tears from China ...
1614: Scottish John Napier (1550-1617) published a papers, which mentioned that he invented a compact device that could calculate four operations and square root operations. 1623: Wilhelm Schickard (1592-1635) has made a "calculation clock" capable of performing six internal number add-off and subtraction and subtraction, and can pass the answer to the ringtone. Operation by rotating the gear. 1625: William OUGHTRED (1575-1660) Invention ruler 1642: French mathematician Pascal improves the calculation based on the William OUGHTRED calculation ruler, and can perform eight calculations. And also sold a lot, becoming a fashionable product. Insert
1668: British Samuel Morl and (1625-1695) have made a non-decimal addition device that is suitable for calculating coins. 1671: German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz designed a multiplication, the final answer can be up to 16. 1775: British Charles production has successfully made a machine similar to LeiBniz's computer. But more advanced. 1776: German Mathieus Hahn successfully made a multiplier. 1801: Joseph-Maire Jacuard has developed an automatic loom that can be controlled with perforated card. 1820: French Charles Xavier Thomas de colmar (1785-1870), the first finished computer, very reliable, can be placed on the desktop, which has been sold in the market in the market. 1822: British Charles Babbage (1792-1871) designed a differential machine and analyzer, in which the theory of design is very exceeded, similar to a hundred years of electronic computer, especially the design of the card input procedures and data is used by the future generation. . 1832: Babbage and Joseph Clement made a finished product of a differential machine, starting to perform 6-digit operations. Later, it has grown to 20, 30, and the size is near one house. The result is output in the form of perforation. However, it is limited to the manufacturing technology at the time, and their design is difficult to make. 1834: The George Scheutz of Stockholm has made a differential machine with wood. 1834: Babbage gives a universal analyzer, store programs and data in read-only memory (perforated card), Babbage continues his research work in the future, and raised an operand to 40 in 1840, and Basically achieve the concept of control center (CPU) and storage programs, and the program can jump according to the condition, can make a general addition in a few seconds, and a multi-division method is made in a few minutes.
1842: Babbage's differential machine project is canceled by the government because of the expensive cost of development. But he still spends a lot of time and effort to study his analyzer. 1843: Scheutz and his son Edvard Scheutz have made a differential machine, and the Swedish government agreed to continue to support their research. 1847: Babbage spent two years designed a more simple, 31-bit differential machine, but no one is interested in and supports him. But later, the London Science Museum used modern technology to reproduce this machine and found that it can do accurately. 1848: British mathematician George Boole created binary mathematics. It is almost a century in advance to pave the way for modern binary computers. 1853: Let Babbage are pleased that Scheutzes has successfully made a real proportional difference, which can perform 15-digit operations. The result is the result of Babbage. Later, London's Brian Donkin made a more reliable second. 1858: The first player is bought by Albany's Dudley Observatory. The second is bought by the British government. However, the Observatory did not take advantage of it, and later sent into the museum. And the second is fortunate for a long time. 1871: Babbage has created some parts and printers of the analyzer. 1878: The Spanish Ramon Verea in New York, manufactures a work desktop calculator. Be faster than mentioned earlier. But he is not interested in pushing it to the market, but it is only to show that Spaniaries can do better than Americans. 1879: A investigation committee began researching the analytics, and finally their conclusion is that the analyzer is not possible. At this point, Babbage has passed away. After the investigation, people have completely forgot his analytics. But HoWard Aiken exception. 1885: More computers in this period have emerged. Such as the United States, Russia, Sweden, etc. They start replacing the easily faulty gears with a tank cylinder. 1886: Chicago's Dorr E. FELT (1862-1930) made a computer. This is the first calculator with a button operation, and the speed is very fast, the button is raised, and the result will come out. 1889: FELT launches the desktop print calculator. 1890: 1890 US census. The 1880 census artificial uses a 7-year time for statistics. This means that 1890 statistics will exceed 10 years. The US census department hopes to get a machine to help improve the efficiency of the census. Herman Hollerith, built the person of the labier company, and later his company developed into IBM. Drawing the Babbage inventions, storing data with perforated cards, and designed a machine. The result is only used for 6 weeks to have a accurate data (62622250 people). Herman Hollerith is equipped with money. 1892: William S. Burroghs (1857-1898) (1857-1898), Sheng Dome and Principe, has successfully created a machine than felt and truly created office automation industry. 1896: Herman Hollerith founded the predecessor of IBM. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ 1900 1906: Henry Babbage, the son of Charles Babbage, under the support of RW Munro, completed Father design analyzer, but only proves that it can work without launching it as a product. Second, the e-computer initial days
The previous computer is based on mechanical operation. Although some products began to introduce some electrical content, they are both subordinate and mechanical, and have not yet entered the flexibility of the computer: logical operation. And after this, with the rapid development of electronic technology, the computer has begun to transition to the electronic age. The electron is increasingly becoming the main body of the computer, and the machinery is increasingly becoming a dependent. The status of the two has changed, the computer It has also begun to change the quality. Below is the main events of this transition: 1906: Lee de Forest in the United States invented the tube. It is impossible to make digital electronic computers before this. This lays the foundation for the development of the electronic computer.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ 1910 1920 1924 1924: IBM, a company with an epoch-making company was established. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ 1930 1935: IBM launches IBM 601 machine.

Turing (1912-1954) of the University of Cambridge, England published his papers, and proposed a mathematical model called "Chanel" by the later generation. 1937: George Stibitz of the Bell Laboratory demonstrates a binary device with a relay. Although it is just a show, it is the first binary electronic computer. 1938: Claude E. Shannon published a paper that was logically expressed with relays. 1938: Berlin's Konrad Zuse and his assistants completed a computer programmable binary computer, the theoretical basis is the Boolean algebra. Later was named Z1. Its function is relatively strong, with something like a movie film as a storage medium. Can operate seven index and 16-bit decimal. You can use a keyboard to enter numbers and display results with bulb. 1939 January 1: California David Hewlet and William Packard made a Hewlett-Packard computer in their garage. The name is determined by the two people using a coin. Includes part of the name of the two. November 1939: US John V. Atanasoff and his student Clifford Berry have completed a 16-bit adder, which is the first vacuum tube computer. 1939: The beginning of the Second World War, military needs greatly promoted the development of computer technology. 1939: ZUSE and SCHREYER have started to develop Z2 computers on the basis of their Z1 computer. And use relays to improve its storage and calculation units. But this project was interrupted for a year because Zuse service military service was interrupted. 1939/1940: Schreyer completed a 10-bit adder using a vacuum tube and used a neon lamp to make a storage device.

A large number of relays are used, and some telephone technologies are used, and advanced coding techniques are used. In the summer of 1941: Atanasoff and student Berry completed a computer that can solve the linear algebraic equation, taking a "ABC" (Atanasoff-Berry Computer), with a capacitor memory, auxiliary memory with a perforated card, and those holes are actually "burning" Up. The clock frequency is 60Hz, and the additional addition is used for one second. December 1941: German Zuse production completed the development of Z3 computers. This is the first programmable electronic computer. The 7-digit index can be handled, 14-bit decumerations. A large amount of vacuum tube is used. Each second can work 3 to 4 additional addition. One multiplication takes 3 to 5 seconds. 1943: Computers in 1943 to 1959 are often referred to as the first generation of computers. Using vacuum tubes, all procedures are written with machine code, using perforated cards. Typical machines are: UNIVAC. January 1943: Mark I, automatic sequential control computer has been successfully developed in the United States. The entire machine has 51 feet long, 5 tons, 750,000 parts, 3304 relays, 60 switches as mechanical read only memory. The program is stored on the paper strip, and the data can be from a trace or card reader. It is used to calculate the ballistic fire table for the US Navy. April 1943: Max Newman, Wynn-Williams and their research teams have developed successful "Heath Robinson", this is a cryptographic machine, strictly said that it is not a computer. However, it uses some logic components and vacuum tubes, and its optical device can read 2000 characters per second. It also has a symptom. September 1943: Williams and Stibitz completed "Relay Interpolator", and later named "Model Ii Relay Calculator". This is a programmable computer. The paper strip input program and data are also used. It is more reliable, and each number is represented by seven relays to perform floating point operations. December 1943: The earliest programmable computer is launched in the UK, including 2,400 vacuum tubes, the purpose is to decipher the German password, translated about 5,000 characters per second, but it was destroyed shortly after use. It is said that it has an error in the translation of Russian. 1946: ENIAC (Electronic Numeric Integrator and Computer): The first real digital electronic computer.
