REVIEW THREE
For this lesson,you'll need a pencil and a piece of paper.
Listen to this lecture about the history of the computer.
Don't write anything yet.Just listen
The inventor of the modern computer was an English mathematician,Charles Babbage.
He invented a miachine in 1832 which had most of the features of a modern computer.
Unfortunately,people weren't interested in it because it was too complicated.
The first successful mechanical computer was built in 1944 by an American,
Howard Aiken.Two years later,
a new type of computer was built with electronic parts aclled valves.
Modern computers use microchips instead of valves.
These microchips are tiny but very efficient.
Now take your pencil and a piece of paper.
You will hear the lecture again.
After each important group of words,there will be a pause.
Don't write evey word you hear,just the important facts,
like names and dates and why a person or thing is important.
Ready?Let's begin.
