In 1876 Edinburgh-born scientist Alexander Graham Bell patented n his Invention of the telephone. The following year, the great American inventor Thomas Edison produced the first working telephone. With telephones soon becoming rapidly available, the days of letter writing became numbered. Another life-transforming invention was the computer. British mathematician Charles Babbage designed a form of computer in the mid1830s, but it was not until more than a century later the theory was put into practice. Now, a whole generation has grown up with calculators, and computer games, the Internet andhave transformed communication and information.

Imagine you had a job where hour after hour, day after day, you were to do nothing but computer multination's. Boredom would quickly set in, leading to carelessness, leading to mistakes. And even on your best days you wouldnt be production answers Very fast. Therefore, inventors have been searching for hundreds of years for a way to mechanize that is, find a mechanism that can perform) this task.
