on Aug 8, 2009Charles Babbage was the person who gave the idea of the computer to the world. Charles Babbage is known in the world as father of computing. Charles Babbage was born in 1971.Charles Babbage was basically interested in designing a calculating machine. That’s how idea of computers came to his mind. The basic idea behind the invention of computer was machines which calculate all the logarithmic tables in seconds. In ancient time before the invention of computer and when there was no other way of calculation the counting was limited just to the human 10 fingers of toe and hands. Abcus was the first type of counting machine. Abacus is device in shape of a frame with vertical rods fixed in it. These vertical rods carry beads and these beads are basically use for counting. Abacus is still use in schools at early stages to teach children addition & subtraction. But with the passage of time as Mathematics got more complex calculation through abacus became difficult especially of very large digits. Then different calculation devices were invented to make complicated counting easy for human. And at last the idea of computer was given by Charles Babbage in 1834. And we all know that computer is used in almost every part of life. It will not be wrong if we say today’s generation is a computer generation. Computer has made our daily life very easy and fast. It is impossible to count its usefulness in our daily life. Development in science & technology always affect the human life directly. Same is in the case of computers. With the help of computers we can communicate with one sitting at the other end of world just in few seconds. Almost in every field of life computer is used from teaching to learning. In education, Banking, Industry, Traveling, Medical. Almost all fields are depending on computers. It will be not wrong to say that if computer has made our life easier it has made man lazier too. Computer age and it effect on our society will continue to grow until our society revolve around it. Today’s world is called the computer world. It is difficult to move in life without computer knowledge because it is used almost everywhere. The invention internet has changed the human life completely. Whatever you want to know you will get the information about it just in few seconds through internet. Internet can be called as medium of education entertainment & information.
