Computers

Computers were not as complicated like the ones we know. Early computers

didn't use chips or monitors. They were not as small nor big like the ones today. Back in

the early 1600 to 1800s, people had theories, plans, and ideas of making a device that

could do complex problems and math so that they would not keep writing down problems

and solving them themselves. They wanted a device that could add and subtract. Many of

them started building such a device. They called this device the calculator or computer,

since it calculates. The first digital calculator which could add and subtract was made by

Blaise Pascal, a famous mathematician. Many more people had their own versions of the

calculator as well. Pretty soon, many calculators/computers were being made.

Computers changed the world a lot. It helped man step forward into the future.
