Computers have a very long history,
the first old like computers are thought to be invented about the age of the Homo Sapiens!
Thousands of years back from today. Let us know the full brief 'HISTORY OF COMPUTERS'.
From Small bones and stones for counting to humongous super computers and quantum computers
How much old?

Computers are nearly as old as us.
The first device used for basic calculations is the Abacus, which was invented more than 5000 years ago
by the Chinese. The first abacus was not like just beads strung on parallel wires!
How did the early abacus looked like?

It looked like a clay tablet and some palm leaves marked numbers on them
