The invention of the computer, apart from what anybody has told you, started around 2000 years ago.
The computer started out as an abacus. An abacus is a rack made of wood with two wires running parallel to each other. On the wires there are beads. By moving the beads anyone can solve simple math problems. Next, there was the Astrolabe, used for navigating.
The first digital computer was invented in 1642 by Blaise Pascal. It consisted of numbers entered in dials but, it could only add. However in 1671 a computer was invented that was eventually was built in 1694.
The man to credit for this invention is Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz. Unlike Pascal’s Leibniz’s could add and multiply. Leibniz also invented the stepped gear mechanism for the addend digit introduction, and to this day is still being used.

计算机的发明，除了任何人告诉你的以外，大约始于2000年前。计算机最初是算盘。算盘是由木头制成的架子，两根线相互平行。电线上有珠子。通过移动珠子，任何人都可以解决简单的数学问题。接下来是用于导航的星盘。
第一台数字计算机是布莱斯·帕斯卡在1642年发明的。它由拨号盘中输入的数字组成，但只能添加。然而，1671年发明了一台计算机，最终于1694年建成。这项发明的功臣是戈特弗里德·威廉·冯·莱布尼茨。与帕斯卡的不同，莱布尼茨可以加法和乘法。莱布尼茨还发明了用于加数数字输入的阶梯齿轮机构，至今仍在使用。
Computer is a wonderful machine. It's a great invention in many years. It develops very quickly. The smallest computer is as big as a note-book. We call it pocket computer. Computer becomes more and more important in many ways. It has touched the lives of everyone, even people in faraway villages. It helps us to do with all kinds of information and we get knowledge from it. It can give us a lot fun.
电脑
计算机是一种奇妙的机器。这是一个伟大的发明在许多年。它非常迅速发展。最小的计算机是那样大的笔记本。我们叫它口袋里的计算机。电脑已经成为越来越重要的在很多方面。它没有触及生命每一个人,即使一个人在遥远的村庄。它帮助我们与各种各样的信息,我们从它获得知识。它能给我们许多乐趣。本回答被网友采纳
