HISTORY OF COMPUTER

It is a counting tool used to perform arithmetic calculations. It typically consists of beads or counters that slide along rods or wires within a frame.

He created the device called Pascaline, to help his father who in 1639 had been appointed local administrator at Rouen.

was an English mathematician, philosopher, inventor, and mechanical engineer. He is widely recognized as the "father of the computer" for his pioneering work on the concept of a digital programmable computer. 

A mechanical calculator designed to compute polynomial functions. Although never fully built during his lifetime due to technological limitations, it laid the groundwork for more advanced computing machines.
