History Of The Computer

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.
