The computer

The question that many people will ask is who invented the computer? It's hard to answer this question because it's not one man who invented this amazing machine. Every part in this machine had an inventor who made it and all these parts come together to make the computer . The computers are different today from the first computer which was made in 1936 before WW2 but this technology was not used in the WW2 but today these accurate devices are used everywhere: in the office paper work , the police station , in the municipality , in train systems and even in the complex planes. This beautiful device has made our life easier in our paper work, in the design for the engineers , for the detectives to analyse the crime and know the criminals as soon as possible to keep our society safe and secure to our children even it helps to improve the education for all levels from the basic to the high level education by showing the student in the class how to do something and make the education journey more fun and let the children love to learn anything and this is because of the computers. And in the future this device will make our life a lot easier than today. In the future a robot will go to the moon or any planet depending on the accurate computers which are remotely controlled. This type of technology has a good future and everyone likes it. Even in the entertainment there are about 11 million players online for one game called World War Craft ( world war craft official website ) and this is only one game in which we can contact with anyone in the world. Our planet has become a small village and if you want to know how to make anything or know any historical events you can know it from the internet which only works with a computer.


The improvement of the computer takes a long time to reach the point we used it today. The first one who put the basic of the world of the computer is Konrad Zuse and this was in 1936 by making the first free programmer and its called " Z1 computer ". In 1942 during the WW2 Finch John Atanasoff & Clifford Berry make first computing program for the businessmen but there was some difficulty in using the program so it did not see the light that time; they called it ABC computer . In 1944 two men from Harvard University Howard Aiken & Grace Hopper made a computer for the university. They called it Harvard Mark I computer; it only did simple tasks but " requiring 3-5 seconds for a multiplication operation " (Mary Bellis inventors.about.com). In 1946 John Presper Eckert & John W. Mauchly made ENIAC I (Electrical Numerical Integrator And Calculator ); they were sponsord by the U.S Army. The army needed it to calculate for the artillery firing table and inside this computer 20000 tubes and it was huge. In 1955 the army shutoff "ENIAC I" . In 1948 Frederic Williams & Tom Kilburn Manchester Baby Computer & The Williams Tube this computer succeeded in displaying video but it wasn't clear but the important thing was the large amount of RAM which means Random Access Memory. Between 1947 to 1948 John Bardeen, Walter Brattain & William Shockley didn't invent a computer but changed the history " This group included computers using Random Access Memory (RAM)" ( William ,www.thocp.net.com ). . And the history of the developing of the computer is a long so I will go direct to the latest period of the computer. In 1984 Apple Macintosh Computer it’s a system program that organizes your desktop and the software that you use even the Microsoft Windows has the same type of program that Apple use but Microsoft came late and they made Windows 1984 and still the competition between these two companies go until our day " That promise was never kept" (Mary Bellis inventors.about.com ).
The developing in the computer still continues and there are some challenges for the scientists and the programmer people who wait to solve some challenges. I think that in the soon future the invention will be in many fields in the computer but I will mention some of it. When we write our first language you can translate it in any language; this is from the program but from the hardware side I think there will be huge changes especially that the demand of the users of this technology will increase and the producers will compete between themselves to have contact with the governments, school, companies and higher education organization ( colleges and universities ) .


In summary, I think the computer can solve many problems and fast so thanks for everyone who help to develop this idea; thanks for all who established the beginning of the computer era and we will continue to develop this machine and I believe that this device will solve the problems in the future as it solved them in our era and no body know who will be the new developer like Bill Gates and he said " Dropping out of college is not good idea" (Bill Gates, The Economic Times) .
