Koj puas paub tias ntev dhau los tib neeg sim tsim kev kho tshuab computer? Ib qho kev xaiv nthuav dav yog Babbage lub tsheb.
Yog lawm, kev sim txua lub tshuab uas ua cov haujlwm kev ua lej tau pib ntev dhau los thiab muaj kev vam meej. Piv txwv li, ntau ntawm peb tau pom lossis txawm siv Felix ntxiv tshuab, uas yooj yim rau kev suav, kev ua haujlwm nrawm rau cov kws ua choj thiab cov neeg teev ntawv. Tab sis nws tsis yog lub computer tiag tiag. Qhov no hom ntawm cov tshuab yuav theej tau ntaus nqi rau lub tshuab ntawm cov lus Askiv cov xibfwb Charles Babbage, uas nws tsim nyob rau xyoo 17th. Nws ua tus qauv ua haujlwm uas tsis siv neeg thaib thiab tuaj yeem luam tawm cov txiaj ntsig. Tsis pub dhau 10 xyoo, nws tau tsim kho dua tshiab ntawm lub tshuab kho tshuab computer uas tuaj yeem ua haujlwm nrog cov lej, txuag cov txiaj ntsig. Nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb teev cia tias "yog tias" tus neeg teb xov tooj tau ua tiav hauv lub tshuab no.
Lub tshuab no tuaj yeem muaj kev nyab xeeb hu ua lub computer tiag tiag, vim nws muaj tag nrho cov cim ntawm qhov - nws muaj peev xwm nkag mus rau cov ntaub ntawv hauv nws (ntawm daim npav punched), nws muaj cov processor uas tso cai rau suav (tab sis tsis zoo ib yam li peb li, tab sis muaj xws li ntawm ntau lub zog, cov pas nrig, cov khoom txwv), Cov cim xeeb. Tau kawg, cov ntaub ntawv luam tawm (luam tawm). Hmoov tsis zoo, lub tshuab no tsis tau nrov vim yog teeb meem nrog qhov tseeb ntawm kev tsim khoom ntawm qhov chaw. Tab sis cov ntaub ntawv nkag los ntawm txhais tau tias siv cov phaib punched tau siv ntev heev.
