Who is the father of computing

In 1821, Charles Babbage invented the first, modern computer design a steam powered adding machine called ''the difference engine.'' Babbage understood that long math problems were just repetitive operations. Therefore, Babbage made a machine to automatically solve math problems.

Babbage also invented the ''analytical engine'' The analytical engine was a mechanical adding machine that took information from punched cards to solve and print complex mathematical operations.

Why are the difference and analytical angines important?


Babbage's difference engine and the analytical engine are regarded as the first ''thinking machines.'' These machines were made for people who weren't math experts. The difference and analytical engines were easy to operate and produced solutions at the turn of a hand crank. Babbage's inventions earned him the title,''father of computer.''

Did Babbage ever his two machines built?


Unfortunately, Babbage's two designs were too far ahead of their time, and neither design could be built during his lifetime. However, in 1991, the London Science Museum built the difference engine based on Babbage's original design the machine worked perfectly.
