Josh ParsonsThis site would be one for the students to look around and get a basis for computer history. It would be best if they filled in worksheet answers found on this site before watching the bookmarked video.

Connor JacobsonThis is an illustrated history of computers. It's more in-depth than the timeline that I also found. Perhaps it can have a lot of potential for those researching computers.

Shanita SchrockJohn Kopplin posted this site in 2002. It shows visually and verbally the history of “computers,” from the days when people computed numbers by hand all the way to modern computers with microchips. The site includes many visual images as well as useful verbal information.

Alissa GraciI can not believe the evolution of computers over time... I mean COME ON! If you go to page 3.. there in the second or third picture, you see that machine with all of the wires. Amazing how over time we can use our own cell phones to get on the computer.. I can only imagine 20 years from now what my children will have to get on the web!

Jamell ReynoldsThe first computers were people. "Computer" was originally a job title: it was used to describe those human beings (predominantly women) whose job it was to perform the repetitive calculations required to compute such things as navigational tables, tide charts, and planetary positions for astronomical almanacs. Imagine you had a job where hour after hour, day after day, you were to do nothing but compute multiplications.

The first computers were people! That is, electronic computers (and the earlier mechanical computers) were given this name because they performed the work that had previously been assigned to people. "Computer" was originally a job title: it was used to describe those human beings (predominantly women) whose job it was to perform the repetitive calculations required to compute such things as navigational tables, tide charts, and planetary positions for astronomical almanacs. Imagine you had a job where hour after hour, day after day, you were to do nothing but compute multiplications. Boredom would quickly set in, leading to carelessness, leading to mistakes. And even on your best days you wouldn't be producing answers very fast. Therefore, inventors have been searching for hundreds of years for a way to mechanize (that is, find a mechanism that can perform) this task.
