Answer 1

Do you know the history of the computer?
Let’s talk about it.
In 1662,a calculating machine was invented in France ,which could simplify the difficult calculation.200 years later, Charles Babbage invented an analytical machine .After being programmed, it could “think” logically and produce an answer quicker than a person. From 1936 on, this kind of machine grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower, and it became as large as a room.
As time went on, the machine became smaller and smaller, first as a PC and then as a laptop. The Internet appeared in the 1960s and the computer was connected by a network. Since the year of 1970, computers have been widely used in offices and we can share everything with others through the Internet.
Nowadays, the computer is widely used in every field in society, It is hard to imagine what the world would be like without the computer.
