This project explains the , starting from Howard Aiken’s Harvard Mark I to present day time. Although I have not gone over all of the models in my report, I have chosen those which I feel have had the greatest effect on the computer world. I will show how in just forty years, computers have come from complex, slow, room-sized machines, to t ...
