| The year the word "computer" was recorded | 1613 |
| Ancient memory aid device to record and document numbers, quantities, or even messages. | Tally Sticks |
| It is invented in Babylonia in 2400 B.C
It is used to perform basic arithmetic operations. | Abacus |
| Invented by John Napier in 1614
Allowed the operator to multiply, divide and calculate square and cube roots by moving the rods around and placing them in specially constructed boards. | Napier's Bones |
| Invented by William Oughtred in 1622
Based on Napier's ideas about algorithm
Used primarily for- multiplication, division, roots, logarithms and trigonometry.
Not normally used for addition and subtraction | Slide Rule |
| Invented by Blaise Pascal in 1642
It was its limitation to addition and addition and subtraction
