Summary: The paper tries to discuss about the computing techniques in various eras of the world. How did people compute in old days (before world wars), after world wars and now?

The main problem in computing was to encounter the complexity and efficiency of the computation. Earlier, even the simplest of the computations took a lot of time and wasted valuable resources. But as the time progressed, the computation improved and the complexity is relaxed.

The paper doscusses about tripartite nature of computing: hardware, software and connection between them.
