Hello Friend,
Do you know what was the first computer in the world.
Yes, you guess right, it was .
Abacus was the first computing machine introduced to the world and credit of this greatest intension goes to Chienese peoples. It was built around 5000 years ago. Basically this Abacus was not a machine, it was like a toy.

However, later on Japanese and Russian peoples changed its shape similar to the modern machines by making some ordinary changes in it.
Abacus was the wooden frame having a mid bar for partition. Partition was implied to make one side bigger in compare to other one. The bigger side was termed as ' Earth ' , and the smaller side were termed as ' Heaven ' . Some wires were fixed from one side to another crossing the mid bar and each wire have some beads. Shifting the beads towards mid bar, the additions were made and shifting them in opposite sides, the subtractions were made.
Information composed by,
Sunil Saharan
