Computers arose as a more convenient, efficient way to perform mathematical and logical operations, to - literally - compute. Previous mechanized computing designs created along the same lines include the abacus, the counting machine created in 1652, and the calculator. Automata, apparently self-operating devices often powered by a spring mechanism, also contributed to the eventual creation of computers. Some of the most famous automata are spring- loaded watches, while other, less functional, automata would have been made as novelty toys for wealthy patrons, such as clockwork cities and ships with moving figures and elements mounted on them.
