A BRIEF HISTORY OF COMPUTING AND IT IN NEPAL

In the early days of computing, most computer operations were limited to calculations. The programs that drove them had to communicate directly with the hardware elements of the computer. As we know today, information technology could never have reached this height without the development of natural language programming.
