    The ideas and inventions of many engineers developed the computer.

     The first computer was developed in 1642 and consisted of gears and wheels (齿轮). The only problem was that it could only add and subtract. Its inventor was Blaise Pascal.

     In 1670, Leibniz made it multiply and divide.

     Hollerith invented a computer called a Tabulator in 1888.

     Vannevar Bush started to develop a computer that would help people do long and hard calculations. These computers became known as analog computers. They were not as accurate as today’s computers.

     John Atanasoff built the first special analog computer in 1939. In 1946, the ENIAC computer was developed. It weighed more than 27 metric tons, used more than 140 square metres of floor space. It could do 5,000 addition and 1,000 multiplications each second. The only problem was that it took very long to program it and it could not store the information.

     The invention of the transistor (晶体管) in 1947, meant that computers could be faster and more helpful.

     Today, the technology has become so good that it is possible to hold a computer in your hand.

6. Who made the computer multiply and divide?

7. When was the first special analog computer built?

     I think the numbers are very important for our life.
     The system of numbers consists of ten numbers (from 0 to 9). Zero is especially important. We can use numbers to represent many things, such as time, money, pages, phone numbers and postal codes. They are used in maths. If there are no numbers, how do we learn maths and how can the decimals, the fractions, the degrees and the percentages be represented? So the numbers make it easier for us to do things.
