"COMPUTER"
"Who invented the computer?" is not a question with a simple answer. The real answer is that many inventors contributed to the history of computers and that a computer is a complex piece of machinery made up of many parts, each of which can be considered a separate invention.Escientist plays very important role in the history of computers.
In 1937, the first electronic digital computer was invented. The Atanasoff-Berry-Computer (ABC) could not store data and was not programmable. It was basically a 700-pound calculator that was the size of a desk and contained

FIRST GENERATION
The computers of the first generation (1951-1958) were physically very large machines characterized by the vacuum tube . Because they used vacuum tubes, they were very unreliable, required a lot of power to run, and produced so much heat that adequate air conditioning was critical to protect the computer parts. Compared to today's computers, they had slow input and output devices, were slow in processing, and had small storage capacities.

FOURTH GENERATION AND BEYOND
The computers of the fourth generation are not easily distinguished from earlier generations, yet there are some striking and important differences. The manufacturing of integrated circuits has advanced to the point where thousands of circuits (active components) n be placed on a silicon wafer only a fraction of an inch in size (the computer on a chip). This has led to what is called large scale integration (LSI) and very large scale integration (VLSI). As a result of this technology, computers are significantly smaller in physical size and lower in cost. Yet they have retained large memory capacities and are ultra fast. Medium sized computers can perform the same tasks as large third generation computers. An entirely new breed of computers called microcomputers and minicomputers are small and inexpensive, and yet they provide a large amount of computing power.Fifth Generation (Present and Beyond)

Parallel Processing is coming and showing the possibiliy that the power of many CPU's can be used side by side, and computers will be more powerful than thoes under central processing. Advances in Super Conductor technology will greatly improve the speed of information traffic. Future looks bright for the computers.
