Charles Babbage- the “father of computing”
Designed a steam-powered calculator called the Difference Engine in 1821.
His next idea was the Analytical Engine (1856), designed to perform any kind of mathematical calculation.

The British Colossus decoded messages during WWII In 1943, the British built the first “Colossus” computer.
Used to decipher encrypted teleprinter messages sent by the Germans during World War II.

Integrated circuits brought “chips” to computers
One major step in computer development was the integrated circuit A group of tiny
transistors and electric wires built on a silicon wafer, or “chip.”
Over the years, IC’s have continued to get smaller in size but larger in their capacity to function.

The Altair was a computer individuals could afford The first computer that most individuals could
afford was the Altair 8800, built in 1975 by MITS. No keyboard or screen
Information was entered by clicking switches

Apple created the first user-friendly personal computer
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created the first user-friendly personal computer, called the Apple, with a built-in keyboard, display screen, and storage unit.
The term personal computer refers to a computer designed to be used by one person at a time.
![Page 10: Computing Fundamentals Unit 1- History & Types of Computers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081506/5697c0051a28abf838cc4c41/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The IBM PC gave way to many clone “compatibles” In 1981, IBM introduced
its version of the personal computer—the IBM PC.
IBM made the general design available to competing companies, resulting in many clones or “compatibles.”
Today, the term PC often refers to computers running Microsoft’s Windows operating system.

Troubleshooting
1. Recognize you have a problem2. Replicate the steps to the
problem3. Check Basic Solutions
Cables, restart
4. Look or research for help & support
5. Talk to a technician6. Follow their instructions7. Confirm it’s fixed
