Introduction
This Research is based on people who contributed to
the development of Computers. The legacy of every benefactor to computers will
be shown in detail as to explain how computers were founded. The History of
computers is important to know in order to be able to understand them more for
every step is the building block of what we use today in our everyday life.
Therefore, to see the Evolution of computers from the perspective of every
Benefactor and legend is the objective of this research.
