Since their creation, computers have been important in our lives, especially in the corporate environment.
To this day there are doubts about who actually invented the first computer.
This is not an easy question to answer, and there is controversy over who actually invented it. Some say that Charles Babbage, with its Analytical Engine or Alan Turing, with his invention which was called Electromechanical Pump.
But after all, how did computers evolve?
The computer we know, inserted in our daily lives, has undergone several changes and has been improved over the years. It has kept pace with advances in the areas of mathematics, engineering and electronics, which is why they say there is not just one inventor.
The first computers (1951 – 1959) They were giant and worked using hand-made circuits and electronic valves, in addition to consuming a lot of energy.
The second generation of computers (1959 – 1965) There were many changes to make the equipment easier and less laborious to use and from then on the commercial use of this equipment began to spread.
From the third generation (1965 – 1975), computers began to have personal use, due to the fact that they were much smaller and had integrated circuits, they already had a much faster processing capacity, and during this period chips were also created, which are still used today in cell phones and tablets.
The fourth generation has been in constant evolution since 1975, until today. With the development of technology, computers have become smaller, more accessible, faster and less complex, making commercial use even more popular.
Computers make our lives much easier, especially when it comes to work, with functions that seem simple to us, but 80 years ago, no one would even think about using computers the way we do today.
Mainly for the corporate environment, including the ease of doing certain jobs, communicating with people, and having access to information and systems from anywhere in the world.
This technological evolution has been essential to our own human development, and to a large extent, has made profound contributions to society's productivity and living standards, as well as to economic management.
