2. Timeline of computers
In 1937 Alan Turing's Turing machine made the idea of machines that could complete tasks by having programs.
In 1938, Konrad Zuse built the first binary digital relay computer. In 1943 saw the first general-purpose digital computer, ENIAC.
In 1948 the Manchester Baby became the first stored program computer.
In 1955 MIT built the first real-time processing machine.
In 1956, IBM created the disk memory system. Then the integrated circuit chip.
In 1959 IBM introduced the first desktop machines. Then in 1965 Digital Equipment Corporation's had the first microcomputer.

3. First to come up with idea of computers
In the year 1837, Charles Babbage was the first to think about something that would function like a computer and ended up designing a programmable mechanical computer that he called "The Analytical Engine"

4. Why have computers been invented?
Computers have been invented to make life easier
Find information that we don’t know about and not have the information eradicated from their minds.
Get faster results
Part of technology that helps us with most of the things in our life

5. First company to have computers
1949, The first computer company, Electronic Controls Company is founded by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly

6. How big were the first computers
They were as big as houses or bigger.
Had many parts
Were put in factories or larger buildings to be able to fit it somewhere
Very hard to use

7. How fast were the processors
The processors were very slow
People thought of new inventions
Tried to make processing faster which is how modern computers process faster

8. Comparison of old computers and modern computers.
Modern computers are portable, not big, process faster, has more apps, easier to use
Old computers were just the opposite of modern computers

9. When were the computers released to the public
The first public computer was released in August 12, 1981.

10. First computer made
The Analytical Engine - but this didn’t work Z machines - but this wasn’t an actual computer Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer - this was considered the first computer
