    It was a idea as computers can process information quicker then a human brain (i think it's like that?) so it was basically a calculator so to speak and it advanced from there. I think?

    Well the first calculator was the first sort of computer really and that was the size of the room and took inputs of inserting a strip with holes in it lol. Stuff just gets more advanced from ther. You find new ways of doing things, making the same thing but smaller, making something better.

    It all boils down to a load of electrical signals turning themselves on and off very quickly to make a series of "0s and 1s" 0 being off and 1 being on just like the symbols on many power switches.

    The first computers didn't originally do much, they were very mechanical, for instance you could set a number, if a number was bigger or smaller than the set number it might move a mechanism up...or down. Then things we know today slowly got introduced such as the monitor, keyboard, speakers, the internet, the hypertext transfer protocol etc.
    How could this hapen to meeeeeeeeeeeeeee?lol.

    In fact analogue computers can be traced back to ancient Greece times (150-100BC).
