Computer
Created | Updated Apr 21, 2002
In the early part of Earths history, a Computer was a human who sat at a desk
performing complex calculations, such as 'how many turnips can I buy with a goat?'.
As time went on, people became bored of doing these manual calculations and so
invented a mechanical machine to do the job. These machines were very large and would
hurt if you dropped one on your foot.
Then, in the 20th Century, electronics allowed Computers to become much smaller
devices and perform varstly more complex calculations. Thus people started to forget
how to perform these calculations manually.
