\"Computers, one of the most influential technologies of the twentieth century, ranging from the familiar beige boxes that sit upon our desks to the highly integrated microprocessors in our microwaves, have come a long way from their most basic physical foundations in fourth century Babylonian times. There has never been one single moment or discovery that can be considered responsible for the creation of the computer, but many discoveries, ideas, and technologies brought together at different points in time to form our concepts of what the computer "is".\"
