The history and the future of computers is an interesting topic that provides a crazy, unbelievable story viewing it in the 21st century. "We could argue that the first computer was the abacus or its descendant, the slide rule, invented by William Oughtred in 1622. However, many consider English mathematician Charles Babbage's analytical engine the first computer resembling today's modern machines." (Harris & Pollette, 2023) Babbage had created a computer with a central processing unit; however, this machine did not look like anything we have today.
Today, we are facing faster and faster computers that are seeing the incorporation of AI. In 2025, the RTX 50 series started incorporating AI into their graphics cards, pushing the compatibility of computers and computers. The history and future of computers could arguably be the root cause of technology. Without discovery and invention, the world and topic we call technology would be significantly different, with the possibility of not existing.
Additionally, without the invention of computers, computer components such as processors, hard drives, graphics cards, motherboards, etc., would look vastly different if they did not exist. Although we know the invention and history of computers play a huge role in what technology we have today, the future of computers also plays a vital role in things such as software and programming languages. The integration of AI into computers impacts program languages and software. AI can write programming code in a matter of seconds through chat gbt. Additionally, AI heavily affects software. "Nearly 77 percent of devices today use AI technology in one form or another. The growth of AI startups accelerated 14-fold since 2000." (Simplilearn, 2025) We know that most windowed computers come with Cortona built-in and Siri or Google built into every smartphone (computer). Lastly, with complexity and futuristic computers, we are seeing more and more innovation in database management and network security. Since computers are becoming more and more capable, they are making it easier to store data through backup drives and cloud services. Additionally, with the capabilities of computers increasing, so will the need for increased network security.
