The document traces the history of computing from ancient times to the present day. It discusses important figures and inventions such as Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, the development of programmable computers at universities in the 1940s, the creation of Microsoft and Apple in the 1970s, and the rise of personal computing and the Internet. The summary highlights some of the key people and technologies that have shaped the evolution of the field over time.

It was the best oftimes,
it was the worstof times,
it was the age ofwisdom,
it was the age offoolishness,
it wasthe epoch of belief,
it was the epoch ofincredulity,
it was the season ofLight,
it was the season ofDarkness,
it was the spring ofhope,
it was the winter ofdespair,
we hadeverything before us,
we hadnothing before us,
we were allgoing direct to Heaven,
we were allgoing direct the other wayin short, the period
was so farlike the present period,that some ofits noisiest
authorities insisted on its being received, forgood orforevil,
in the superlative degree ofcomparison only.

29. [The AnalyticalEngine] might act upon other things besides number, were objects found
whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of
operations, and which should be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of the operating
notation and mechanism of the engine...Supposing, for instance,that the fundamental relations
of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musicalcomposition were susceptible of
such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific
pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent

It was the first solid-state computer designed (it was fully manufactured inItaly). The knowledge obtained was applied a few years later in the development of the successful
The OlivettiProgramma 101, also known asPerottinaorP101, is the first commercial programmable "desktop computer".[1][2][3]Produced by Italian manufacturerOlivetti, based inIvrea,Piedmont, and invented by the Italian engineerPier Giorgio Perotto, the P101 has the main features of large computers of that period. It was launched at the1964 New York World's Fair; volume production started in 1965. Afuturisticdesign for its time, the Programma 101 was priced at $3,200[4](equivalent to $26,000 in 2019). About 44,000 units were sold, primarily in the US.
First produced in 1965, theProgramma 101was a printing programmable calculator[23][24][25]described in advertisements as a "desktop computer".[26][27][28]It was designed and produced by the Italian companyOlivettiwithPier Giorgio Perottobeing the lead developer. The Olivetti Programma 101 was presented at the 1965 New York World's Fair after 2 years work (1962- 1964). Over 44,000 units were sold worldwide; in the US its cost at launch was $3,200. It was targeted to offices and scientific entities for their daily work because of its high computing capabilities in small space and cost; also theNASAwas amongst the first owners. Built without integrated circuits or microprocessors, it used only transistors, resistors and condensers for its processing,[29]the Programma 101 had features found in modern personal computers, such as memory, keyboard, printing unit, magnetic card reader/recorder, control and arithmetic unit.[30]HP later copied the Programma 101 architecture for itsHP9100 series.[31][32]
