Chrome Remote Desktop makes its way onto Android:-
Need to access your Windows desktop while you’re sitting on a bus 3,000 miles away from work? Just launch Chrome, and you’re good to go! Earlier this week, Google released Chrome Remote Desktop for Android, and brought VNC to the masses. This tiny 2.1MB app allows your phone or tablet to connect seamlessly to Chrome on a PC, and completely control your desktop without having to bother setting up your own VNC server. Of course, having remote desktop software built into Google’s Chrome is more than enough to cause privacy advocates to raise an eyebrow, so think it through before you install. If you’d like to try this out for yourself, head on over to the Google Play store, and download the
Chrome Remote Desktop app. As long as you’re running Android 4.0 or above, you should be able to run it on any device you have lying around. Next, simply install the Chrome Remote Desktop app inside of Chrome, and follow the on-screen configuration instructions. From then on, you can remotely access your desktop on your Android device without having to manually find and enter your network information.
Main article: History of computing hardware:- Devices have been used to aid computation for thousands of years, probably initially in the form of a tally stick The Antikythera mechanism, dating from about the beginning of the first century BC, is generally considered to be the earliest known mechanical analog computer, and the earliest known geared mechanism.. Comparable geared devices did not emerge in Europe until the 16th century. and it was not until 1645 that the first mechanical calculator capable of performing the four basic arithmetical operations was developed. Electronic computers, using either relays or valves, began to appear in the early 1940s. The electromechanical Zuse Z3, completed in 1941, was the world's first programmable computer, and by modern standards one of the first machines that could be considered a complete computing machine. Colossus, developed during the Second World War to decrypt German messages was the first electronic digital computer. Although it was programmable, it was not general-purpose, being designed to perform only a single task. It also lacked the ability to store its program in memory; programming was carried out using plugs and switches to alter the internal wiring. The first recognisably modern electronic digital stored-program computer was the Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM), which ran its first program on 21 June 1948. The development of transistors in the late 1940s at Bell Laboratories allowed a new generation of computers to be designed with greatly reduced power consumption. The first commercially available stored-program computer, the Ferranti Mark I, contained 4050 valves and had a power consumption of 25 kilowatts. By comparison the first transistorised computer, developed at the University of Manchester and operational by November 1953, consumed only 150 watts in its final version.[
