The devices could do most of the calculation work by itself
The earliest recorded calculating device is the abacus. Used as a simple computing device for performing arithmetic, the abacus most likely appeared first in Babylonia (now Iraq) over 5000 years ago.
The device used for calculating and processing data in a computer system is known as the Central Processing Unit, or CPU for short.
Texas Instruments received the patent - see relevant link below .
Explain various storage devices and their characteristics?
because that's all they had but now we have didital ones that are better
Not as we now know them. There were, however, devices for calculating and then there was the human brain ...
Manual calculating devices are tools used for performing arithmetic calculations without the aid of electronic components. Examples include the abacus, slide rule, and mechanical calculators. These devices rely on physical manipulation or mechanical parts to facilitate mathematical operations. They have largely been replaced by electronic calculators and computers but are still valued for educational purposes and understanding mathematical concepts.
