Explain the history of computers in every era:


  1. mechanical calculating 

  2. electromechanical 

  3. electronic computer

  1. mechanical calculating era: The mechanical age can be defined as the time between 1450 and 1840. A lot of new technologies were developed in this era due to an explosion of interest in computation and information. Technologies like the slide ruler (an analog computer used for multiplying and dividing) were invented in this period.
  2. Electromechanical era: The electromechanical age heralded the beginnings of telecommunications as we know it today. This age can be defined roughly as the time between 1840 and 1940. Several revolutionary technologies were invented in this period such as the Morse code, telephone, radio, etc.
  3. Electronic computer era: In electronic era electronic circuit elements replace mechanical devices and calculations were purely digital and only done with electronic circuits.
