When did Charles Babbage first invent the computer?

Charles Babbage made several plans to completing the computer in London. Babbage was born in London in 1791 and spent most of his life in or near that city, other than attending school (various secondary schools, then Cambridge University) and a short time after his marriage (when he lived in the West Midlands, not far from Wales), so it would have been there.


Who were the inventors of computers in 1999?

Technically, one could argue that the first computer was invented by Charles Babbage in 1837. It was named the "Analytical Engine" and included basic flow control, an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit), and integrated memory. Sadly, it was never built while Charles Babbage alive, but his son, Henry Babbage, managed to finish a part of this machine and got it to make basic calculations. However, if you are talking about the first "personal computer" (pc), that was invented in 1975 by Ed Roberts when he made the Altair 8800 which relied on many switches and lights for input and output. The switches being this input, and the lights being the output.


When did Charles Babbage make his first computer?

The earliest recorded discussion that's been found regarding Babbage's ideas for a calculating engine were in 1822. However, Babbage himself never actually completed a design; although, he continued working on several computer prototypes throughout the remainder of his life.


When did Charles Babbage invent the abacus?

While Charles Babbage did invent a calculator as well as what is considered the first programmable computer, he did not invent the abacus. This basic counting tool was invented in China around 3000 B.C. Babbage most certainly would have known of the abacus, indeed he likely would have used one himself, but it is not a tool of his original design.


Who made the first computer?

That depends on what you regard as a computer. There have been many types of computer, both electronic, as we know them now, and mechanical ones. Charles Babbage is often regarded as the father of computers because of some machines he designed in the 18th century. They had the basic components that all modern computer systems are based on. Other names include John Napier and Herman Hollerith. The oldest computer can be argued to be the abacus, used by the Chinese as long as 5000 years ago.

How large was the first computer?

It depends what you mean by the first computer; arguably the first was the "difference engine" designed by Charles Babbage. This was a mechanical computer, a modern version, built to Babbage's design is 3.4 metres long by 2.1 metres high.


Who was called as father of computer?

Alan Turing is considered by many to be the "father" of the modern computer because of his work in breaking the Enigma codes during WW2. (Alan Turing - The Enigma of Intelligence by Andrew Hodges 1983)


Who bought the first computer made by Charles Babbage?

Nobody. Babbage had no computer to sell. The british parliament, which was funding his work, decided the project was a waste of public monies and cut off his funding long before he had anything actually operating. At that point his machinist announced it was his intention to take all the tooling and parts he had made in payment of back due money owed him by Babbage.

Did Charles Babbage have help to invent the computer?

A machinist that hated him and his crazy demands. Ada Augusta Countess of Lovelace. Initially funding from parliament, until they decided it was too expensive and took too long.

How did charles Babbage come up with the idea of the computer?

While he was in his 20's, he was still working as a mathematician. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, in 1816. The Difference Machine was started in 1821 but failed its test in 1833. In 1842 Charles Babbage created the Analytical Engine; he completely abandoned the Difference Machine. It was never completed but it helped improve Britain's machine-tool industry. In 1991, the National Museum of Science and Technology built a replica of the Difference Machine; it was a real working one. In 1879, Charles Babbage's son reassembled a section of the Difference Machine, which was auctioned for auction in London auctioned in Sydney for $282,000. On October the 18th 1871, London, UK, Charles Babbage died.
