The very first computers were digital.  Kids quickly learned to count to ten (and still do!).  The next generation of computers were analog where for example vertical marks on the wall were analogous to the number of sheep.  We still use vertical marks to gage the amount of gas left in the tank using an anlog computer.  Then came the abacus that was speedier than most table model calculators, even when operated by skilled accountants.  Next came digital computers that filled an entire room and worked using vacuum tubes and electro-mechanical relays.  Once such a computer failed to operate properly and the operator found an insect caught in a relay.  Ever since, many has been trying to debug computers.  Hope that helps a little.

Second Generation Computers (1956-1963) \n\nThe invention of Transistors marked the start of the second generation. These transistors took place of the vacuum tubes used in the first generation computers. First large scale machines were made using these technologies to meet the requirements of atomic energy laboratories. One of the other benefits to the programming group was that the second generation replaced Machine language with the assembly language. Even though complex in itself Assemly language was much easier than the binary code. \n\nSecond generation computers also started showing the characteristics of modern day computers with utilities such as printers, disk storage and operating systems. Many financial information was processed using these computers. \n\nIn Second Generation computers, the instructions(program) could be stored inside the computer's memory. High-level languages such as COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) and FORTRAN (Formula Translator) were used, and they are still used for some applications nowdays. \n\nThird Generation Computers (1964-1971) \n\nAlthough transistors were great deal of improvement over the vacuum tubes, they generated heat and damaged the sensitive areas of the computer. The Intergreated Circuit(IC) was invented in 1958 by Jack Kilby. It combined electronic components onto a small silicon disc, made from quartz. More advancement made possible the fitings of even more components on a small chip or a semi conductor. Also in third generation computers, the operating systems allowed the machines to run many different applications. These applications were monitored and coordinated by the computer's memory. \n\nFourth Generation (1971-Present) \n\nFourth Generation computers are the modern day computers. The Size started to go down with the improvement in the integerated circuits. Very Large Scale(VLSI) and Ultra Large scale(ULSI) ensured that millions of components could be fit into a small chip. It reduced the size and price of the computers at the same time increasing power, efficiency and reliability. "The Intel 4004 chip, developed in 1971, took the integrated circuit one step further by locating all the components of a computer (central processing unit, memory, and input and output controls) on a minuscule chip." \n\nDue to the reduction of cost and the availability of the computers power at a small place allowed everyday user to benefit. First came the minicomputers, which offered users different applications, most famous of these the word processors and spreadsheets, which could be used by non-technical users. Video game systems like Atari 2600 generated the interest of general populace in the computers. \n\nIn 1981, IBM introduced personal computers for home and office use. "The number of personal computers in use more than doubled from 2 million in 1981 to 5.5 million in 1982. Ten years later, 65 million PCs were being used." Computer size kept getting reduced during the years. It went down from Desktop to laptops to Palmtops. Machintosh introduecd Graphic User Interface in which the users didnt' have to type instructions but could use Mouse for the purpose. \n\nThe continued improvement allowed the networking of computers for the sharing of data. Local Area Networks(LAN) and Wide Area Network(WAN), were potential benefits, in that they could be implemented in corporations and everybody could share data over it. Soon the internet aand World Wide Web appeared on the computer scene and formented the Hi-Tech revolution of 90's.\n\nFifth Generation (Present and Beyond) \n\nFifth generations computers are only in the minds of advance research scientiets and being tested out in the laboratories. These computers will be under Artifical Intelligence(AI), They will be able to take commands in a audio visual way and carry out instructions. Many of the operations which requires low human intelligence will be perfomed by these computers. \n\nParal

I would say computer technology.

In my opinion, its because of there isn't much use of computer there. Most of them (native africans for example) are using traditional way of getting things done. Another case might be that there are not many ways to get a computer. Maybe because there are no electricity, no telephone cable connection, etc. \n\nHope this helps. This are merely opinions

That depends on what you mean by "computer".  The basis of any computing machine is the ability to do input, processing and output.  The core of what makes it a computer is to handle "whatif" questions and to respond differently based on the answer to those questions.  For example, to say, "If the dollar amount is less than X then do this, but if it's greater than X then do that.\n\nBy that definition, the first true computer would probably be Charles Babbage's "Difference Engine" built in the late 1800s.  An improved version, which he called the "Analytical Engine" actually accepted punch card programs, the first of which was written by Lord Byron's daughter, Ada Lovelace, making her the world's first computer programmer.\n\nThe first truly modern electronic computer was, arguably, the ENIAC developed for the US Army by the University of Pennsylvania.  I say "arguably" because it depends on which features you want to include in the definition of "modern electronic computer."  For example, the ENIAC had no stored memory and had to be rewired for each program.\n\nHope this helps.

I didn't get into the PC world until the mid-80's - besides, the first PC wasn't invented until 1981.\n\nThe first PC compatible I had was an AT&T 6300 with 640KB of memory and an 8086 processor.  It came with two floppy drives.  I upgraded it later, adding two 5 MB hard disks (that's five megabytes, not five gigabytes).  I'm thinking it cost around $2,600, with a Princton Graphics EGA monitor.  This was probably 1984.\n\nMy first PC compatible laptop was a Zenith 181, 640 KB of memory, 8088 chip and two floppies.  I remember that cost $2,999.99.  It won PC Magazine's Annual award for laptops in 1986.\n\nBoth of these were after much 1979, because the "personal computers" of that day were NOT PC compatible.  My previous machine was a TRS-80 Color Computer running "Color Disk Basic".  This was the machine I did all my college papers on between 1981 and 1982.  The machine was much less, around $400, but that did NOT include a monitor, or a floppy drive.

i suppose it depends on what you are looking for as a definition of computer.\n\nYou could say the abacus.\nOr if you're looking for something programmable then in 1801 Joseph Jacquard developed a weaving loom whose weaving process was based on holes punched in a card.\nHerman Hollerith used a hole punch card to speed up census tabulation for the 1890 US census - which led to the creation of IBM\n\nBut these wer all based on inventions that used gears to represent data invented by Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)  Gottfried Leibniz (1646-1716) and Charles Babbage (1792-1871)\n\nAugusta Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace is accredited as being the first programmer in regards to charles babbage's analytical engine during the mid to late 1830's.\n\nHope this information helps
