*Please note that when searching for clip art, it is possible to find clip art that might not be appropriate for school research projects (for example beer and wine clip art), but I felt I could not eliminate these sites, as they offer hundreds of pieces of clip art that are valuable for school research projects!

...a computer is defined as any machine that can do calculations?
...the first calculating machine was built in 1642, by 19-year-old Blaise Pascal?
...the first large scale computer was built in World War II by Howard H. Aiken, and was called the Mark I?
...the first computer, Mark I, weighed 5 tons, contained 500 miles of wires, 3,304 electromechanical relay switches, and could perform 23-digit additions and subtractions in three-tenths of a second?
...the first computer to use electronic pulses instead of mechanical switches was developed in 1946 by engineers at the University of Pennsylvania?

...modern day computers are either digital or analog?
...a digital computer, like that found in cash registers, performs calculations by counting?
...an analog computer, like one found in an automobile's speedometer, does not count, but measures quantities?
