Abstract

top
Birth of computer science is usually associated with the birth and spread of computers. This may be due to the development of technology and electronic techniques, but different ideas of building computing machines has already formed two centuries ago. Computers, from the first moments of its existence, have been a source of fascination. They perceived their potential meant that the mass journalism, also Polish, appeared electronic brain. Currently used the word computer a long time could not settle in Polish terminology. For a long time it was said about the machines doing mathematical counting or digital machines, and the computer has denied these terms until the end of the seventies. Also, the term computer came late – the first ex cathedra sounded in Poland only in 1968, and the author of the term is considered Romuald Marczyński.
