The first known inventor of the abacus is believed to be the ancient Sumerians around 2500-3000 BCE. The abacus is a calculating tool that uses beads or stones on rods to perform arithmetic calculations. It is considered one of the earliest counting devices and has been used by various civilizations throughout history.
Man first started counting on his fingers and toes. It is no coincidence that "digit" refers to body parts and numbers. Then came the first real computer, the Abacus. Designed to deal with larger numbers and a mechanical object. The Abacus is thought to have been invented by the ancient Babylonians between 1000 BC and 500 BC.
Yes and no. The abacus is certainly a computing device, but is works so differently from a computer that the argument gets quite philosophical.
Personally I would say no, since the computer is general purpose and the abacus only calculated numbers.
Although that is precisely what a computer does, however it translates numbers to letters, pictures, music, video, etc. So it depends on a philosophical distinction that is only interesting to those of us who enjoy debating such distinctions.
Hey, the world is just not black and white.
The human brain. I know what you are thinking, "How can the brain be the first computer?" Trust me, it just is. the brain works on chemical impulses which some believe its a drug effect as the brain is a natural computer. among the fact that everything in nature works in chemicals. the chemicals simulate your conscious similar to the olfactory nerve . so basically the entire mind is "a trip" so to speak. the drugs form weaker forms and are felt like light in your eyes. the palette of senses make the instances of drug.
I do not think this can be determined as it is so ancient and there are so many types, each likely independently invented.
The abacus was invented by the ancient Chinese people and was used to perform mostly mathematical calculations. In Japan, even to this day, the abacus is still used for simple calculations. Many people consider the abacus the first "computer" or at least the first calculator.

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.
An Abacus has beads and strings.
Abacus was invented by the Chinesethe abacus was also known as the first computer
The abacus has been around for millennia, in various countries. No record of the inventor was made.
The Abacus is ancient and the inventor of the original is unknown. Lee Kai Chen did however invent an improved abacus with a movable decimal point and two auxiliary fields for use in complex operations. This abacus was named after himself.

If he isn't the inventor, that probably means that somebody else invented it. Look it up on Wikipedia - it seems that the abacus was already used thousands of years ago.d
During the Achaemenid Persian Empire, around 600 BC the Persians first began to use the abacus but I don't think history has documented it's inventor-someone will correct me or add if I am wrong..
The Chinese abacus
The abacus was not invented by a Filipino; it was first recorded, well before that area was even properly settled, in many ancient civilisations earlier than 500 BCE, and in Mesopotamia before 2000 BCE. The abacus was likely introduced to the country by traders some time after the 13th century.

The abacus is considered the first adding machine because it was the first tool that was used to add with. There were not any counting devices until the invention of the abacus in 3000 BC.
it is the abacus. :D :D :D i got is dummies
