Computer engineering can be generalized as the sum of the electronic sciences by integrating some components ranging from microprocessors to supercomputers. The development of the computer has shaped the way technology and science are viewed in different cultures around the world. The definition of what the archetype and function of a computer is: monitor, keyboard, processor and its other electronic components; however, things have not always been this way. Computers have been around for a long time and have been developed over many years with the contributions of philosophers, inventors, engineers, mathematicians, physicists, technicians, visionaries and scholars. The first computers were simplistic mathematical calculations and eventually developed into the computers that exist in the modern world. It took more than 180 years for the computer to develop from an idea in Charles Babbage's head into a real computer developed today by many different companies. There was more than a century of work to do to transform the computer into the one we use today. Before computers, people had to do calculations using tools like a Chinese abacus or a slide rule to solve problems by hand. These small, manually calculated devices evolved over time into the calculators developed in Japan in 1969, which were then used by Ted Hoff to produce a "soft-wired" circuit, better known as a computer chip. Before and even more so after this invention, both businesses and government were delving into the science, designing computers specifically designed for a single task or a few tasks that signaled the need for the computer. To differentiate these early computers, they were coded in separate binaries to run their... medium of paper... outperforming previous models, but still manages to be crippled by heating issues, which just stands as proof that even though we can designing new devices that can outperform previous models, we are still limited by factors such as overheating and power consumption. The best-known early contributors to computing and engineering accomplished many things that we clearly recognize even today: the production of a rudimentary Japanese calculator, the production of the Altair by MITS (Micro Instrumentation Telemetry Systems), which then led to the invention of the MOS-DOS operating system by Paul Allen and Bill Gates, to name a few. All these discoveries and inventions are simply stepping stones that the founders of computer technology have made that lead into the future, which will surely progress rapidly in an ever-expanding world of computer engineering..
