Now there are many thousands of computers all around the world. Some of them are big and some of them are
small. They are very useful . People can use them to send and get e-mails, look for things on the Internet, play
computer games ... But in 1946 the first computer in the world cannot do these things. It is for calculating. It is as
big as a room! Only some scientists can use it. Some people say the first computer is in China. Why do they think
so? Because the first abacus(the oldest calculating machine) appeared much earlier in China than the big computer
in America.
