Abstract
Although bits and pieces of the historical background on computer systems are found in monographs and encyclopedias, a brief account that a beginner can quickly digest is hard to come by. This article presents such a short account. From ABACUS to ENIAC and from ENIAC to BISDN the paper covers the significant advances associated with computers. It is hoped that the paper is useful to a beginner in the field or an interested non-expert
