Charles Babbage was a classical example of why there comes a time when you need to shoot the engineers and just build the machine. He could never finish a design and freeze it so it could be built. As soon as he got a better idea as to how to design something he just dropped all work on the current design and started from scratch on the new idea.

What was the name of the person that invented the first computer?
Charles Babbage (26 December 1791 - 18 October 1871) Charles Babbage was an English mathematician, philosopher, mechanical engineer and (proto-) computer scientist who originated the idea of a programmable computer. Parts of his uncompleted mechanisms are on display in the London Science Museum. Working from Babbage's original plans, a computer was ultimately built and functioned perfectly. Built to tolerances achievable in the 19th century, the finished engine indicated that Babbage's machine would have worked. Babbage had even designed a printer; it featured astonishing complexity for a 19th century device.
