Computer 1stQ Lesson 2 - The Modern Computers-How They All Began and Early Computing Devices

The document discusses the history and development of early computing devices that led to the invention of modern computers, including the abacus, Pascaline calculator, Leibniz calculator, Jacquard loom, Analytical Engine, and Herman Hollerith's tabulating machine which used punch cards to automate data processing and counting for censuses.

Lesson 1:

The Modern Computers-How


They All Began and Early
Computing Devices
WHO
Can you
A!
imagine a world
without
computers?
People have always found ways of doing things more
easily. For example: a gas range, an oven, and other
kitchen appliances were invented to make cooking easier,
faster, and more enjoyable.
Can you give other examples of inventions?

Since the day, the world began, the most basic way to
count was with the use of our fingers. When we learned
how to count, our parents and teachers taught us to
count loud using our fingers too.

Counting large numbers is a difficult thing to do.


Different types of machines were invented in order for us
to count large numbers.

1.
 Around the 13th century, the Chinese

ABACUS
people invented the abacus.
 It was a handy tool for counting big
numbers and could perform addition and
subtraction using beads and rods.
 They used the abacus for business and
other things that required counting large
numbers. The abacus is still being used
today.
2.
 Blaise Pascal invented the

PASCALIN
Pascaline, which was first known as
the Pascal’s calculator.
 Pascaline is also called as
Arithmetic Machine.

E Instead of using rods and beads, he


used wheels to move its counter to
perform addition and subtraction.
 Blaise Pascal developed Pascaline
to help his father in performing his
job as a tax collector.
3. Leibniz
 The Leibniz Calculator was created

Calculator
by Gottfried Wilhem Leibniz.
 This type of calculator was able to do
the four basic mathematical
operations – addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division.
 He was also an advocate of the
binary system.
 Binary numbers are ideal for
machines because it requires only
two digits, which can be easily
presented by the on and off states of
switch.
4. Jacquard
Loom
 Jose Marie Jacquard invented the
Jacquard Loom.

 It is a device that used punched


cards with holes to weave fabrics
with great designs.
5. ANALYTICAL
ENGINE
 The Analytical engine is considered as the
beginning of the modern computer since it
was able to perform complex mathematical
operations.

 Charles Babbage and Lady Augusta Byron


worked together to make this machine as the
first programmable computing device.

 Unfortunately, Charles Babbage died without


finishing his work. Lady Augusta kept records
of his original work and completed the project.

 The original idea of a computing device name


came from Charles Babbage, and that is why
he is called as “The Father of the Modern
Computer.”
6. TABULATING
 It was Herman Hollerith who

MACHINE
invented the tabulating machine.
 This machine was able to count
and record data faster.
 He was hired by the U.S
government to use his machine in
tabulating census.
 Census is a count of people living
in a place or country.
