The Use of the Word
The first use of the word “computer” was used in 1613 in a book called “The yong mans gleanings” by English writer Richard Braithwait I have read the truest computer of Times, and the best Arithmetician that ever breathed, and he reduceth thy dayes into a short number." -

Pascal's Calculator
In 1642, Blaise Pascal known as Pascal's calculator, it was the first machine to better human performance of arithmetical computations and would turn out to be the only functional mechanical calculator in the 17th century. -
Joseph Marie Jacquard's Punch Cards
In 1801, Joseph Marie Jacquard made an improvement to the textile loom by introducing a series of punched paper cards as a template which allowed his loom to weave intricate patterns automatically. -
Babbage's Computer
In 1837, Charles Babbage was the first to conceptualize and design a fully programmable mechanical computer, his analytical engine. -
Ada Lovelace's "Notes"
In 1842 and 1843, Ada Lovelace, an analyst of Charles Babbage's analytical engine, translated an article by Italian military engineer Luigi Menabrea with Babbage's Machine. -
Thomas de Colmar's Arithmometer
In 1851, Thomas de Colmar released his simplified arithmometer. It became the first machine to be commercialized because it was strong enough and reliable enough to be used daily in an office environment. -
Hollerith's Tabulating Machine
In the late 1880s, Herman Hollerith invented the recording of data on a machine-readable medium but after many experiments he settled on punch cards. -
Alan Turing
In 1936, Alan Turing provided an influential formalization of the concept of the algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, providing a blueprint for the electronic digital computer. -
Stibitz's Model K
George Stibitz is internationally recognized as a father of the modern digital computer. While working at Bell Labs in November 1937, Stibitz invented and built a relay-based calculator he named the “Model K". -
Berry and Atanasoff
Iowa State College physics professor John Atanasoff, and graduate student Clifford Berry built the Atanasoof-Berry Computer which was the world's first electronic digital computer. -
Germany's Genius
The first functional computer was the Z1, originally created by Germany's Konrad Zuse in his parents living room in 1936 to 1938, and it is considered to be the first electro-mechanical binary programmable computer. -
The Z Machine
Konrad Zuse's electromechanical “Z machines.” The Z3 was the first working machine featuring binary arithmetic, including floating point arithmetic and a measure of programmability.It was the world's first working programmable, fully automatic digital computer. -
Iphone 5S
iPhone 5s is the first 64 bit smartphone in the world. And iOS 7 was designed with that in mind, built specifically for 64 bit architecture. -
Iphone 5c
A6 chip. 8MP iSight camera. 4-inch Retina display. Ultrafast LTE wireless. iPhone 5c has the things that made iPhone 5 an amazing phone-and more, including iOS 7. All in a completely new design that feels great in your hand. -
Xbox 1
Xbox 1 made by microsoft is expected to be released late November 2013. Instead of a kinect system outside the console, with the Xbox 1 the kinect is inside the console.
