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.

Babbage never actually completed a "difference engine," but his designs were made in the 1820s. Using his design, one was actually made in 1991 and worked as advertised.

The Abacus is a Japanese adding machine that consists of beads on wires strung between a wooden frame. The position of the beads indicated the number and you could do simple math with it. It is one of the oldest forms of computers.
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.
No, the 1977 Apple ][ was the first highly successful mass-produced personal computer, but not the first personal computer. >.< He He ^erm..this answer DOESN'T make sense!..srry.. =]
He didnt. He tried to get money for it in 1835 but investors where sceptical due to Babbage's earlier construction failures. In 1837, swedish engineer Georg Scheutz managed to build a machine based on Babbage's blue prints
