Summary:
The Father of Computer Is
Charles Babbage was an English polymath. A mathematician, philosopher, inventor, and mechanical engineer. Babbage originated the concept of a digital programmable computer. Babbage was a key person in the conception of computing even though he passed away before completing any of his designs like Difference Engine and Analytical Engine. Some incomplete mechanisms by Babbage are partially on show in London's Science Museum. From Babbage's original designs, a different engine was built in 1991. The success of the final engine demonstrated that Babbage's device would have functioned had it been constructed to the tolerances feasible in the 19th century.
