... , AND FUTURE OF COMPUTERS Computers are: FUN EXCITING EDUCATIONAL ENTERTAINING ______________________________________________________________________________ ~ PAST ~ "Using Technology in the Classroom" taught me about the history of computers. The Difference Engine was a pre-computer that Charles Babbage created. It had a lot of moving parts that made jammed all the time and made it useless. Next he created something called the Analytic Engine. It could store, execute, and ... ...

... , a machine that could computer fast, but only add. Following him was Colmar with his calculator and ultimately, the first version of the modern computer as we know it today by Charles Babbage. From then began a race . A race for technology, a race that would give rise to the age of "InfoTech" or Information Technology as we would call it. So what are the advantages ... ...
