The History of the Computer

The computer is really fascinating, but have you ever thought of the history behind all of it?

Who invented the first computer? Well, really, a group of inventors invented the first digital computer. The computer is a combination of many inventions. The person who built the first computer (which was used for army purposes) was John V. Atanasoff. Before I did this research, I thought only one person contributed to the invention. Now I know a whole group of people contributed to the invention of the computer.

How were computers first used? There were many different types of computers, so I would just tell you about three types of computers. The first military computer was used to crack codes. The first DNA computer was used to analyze DNA. And last but not least, the math computer was used for math calculations. The computer has come a long way, because people used to use computers for only a few things, but now the computer is used for almost everything!

How does the computer help us these days? The computer can help entertain us such as movies and games. The computer can search for information we need such as Google. Finally, the computer can help us store information. I am thankful that I have a computer. Otherwise, it would be much harder for me to write this report.
