CHARLES BABBAGE IMPORTANT IN THE HISTORY OF COMPUTER

Charles Babbage

Charles Babbage was a British mathematician, who is often called ‘The father of computing’. He designed the first automatic computing engines.

In Babbage’s time, mathematical table were generated by team of mathematicians, and mistake were common. Babbage dreamed of removing the human element from these calculations. He designed the first computer, a machine he called ‘the difference engine’, in 1822. It was the size of a house, could store a program, and was powered by stream.

Babbage’s stream-powered analytical engine, outlined the basic element of a modern general purpose computer and was a break though concept.

Babbage invented computer but failed to build them, and the first complete babbage engine was completed in London 153 years after it was designed.

Hybrid computer   

Computers that accept analog signals and convert them into a digital form are called hybrid computers, because they have the features of both analog and digital computers.
