THE FIrST COMPUTER
CAMILA GÓMEZ HIDALGO
Grade: 10-B
here are many people out there who would say that the first "computer" was the abacus,
invented in Asia about 5000 years ago.
 As time went on, there were a number of special devices invented to help with things
like tax collecting, taking the census, etc.
he first of the "modern" computers was invented during World War II, in 1941 by a German
engineer named Konrad Zuse. The computer was called the Z3 and was used to help
design German airplanes and missiles. A couple years later, in 1943, the Allied forces
developed a computer called Colossus to help decode German messages.
But now that the Z3 was developed by the side that lost the war and the Colossus we stayed a
military secret for many years, these teams do not contribute much to those who come after
this.
first generation computers were characterized by the fact that operating
instructions were made-to-order for the specific task for which the computer was
to be used. Each computer had a different binary-coded program called a
machine language that told it how to operate. This made the computer difficult
to program and limited its versatility and speed. Other distinctive features of first
generation computers were the use of vacuum tubes (responsible for their
breathtaking size) and magnetic drums for data storage.
