    Computing devices have evolved significantly over thousands of years from tally sticks to modern computers. Early devices included the abacus (5000 BCE, China), used for arithmetic, and the Pascaline (1642), one of the first mechanical calculators. Major advances included Babbage's Analytical Engine (1842-1843), an early general-purpose programmable computer, and the ENIAC (1946), one of the first electronic general-purpose computers. Integrated circuits in the 1960s led to the microcomputer explosion of the 1970s and 1980s, bringing computers into homes and businesses with devices like the Apple II (1977) and IBM PC (1981). Modern computers are billions of times more powerful than
