Made of plastic, wires, buttons, a computer, and a screen
I have never seen a good diagram, but the device was mechanical, not electrical and would probably resemble an early code machine ( used to make and decode ciphers) or possibly a mechanical (these antedated the juice variety) digital clock the possibility exists it may have used a clockwork, wind up motor, also. read out would be digital as explained, like a mechanical adding machine or the now-rare mechanical digital clocks, which were invented in Germany. I have no further information on the Babbage device, which never was, well a household appliance.

considering that it has to pay rent and they have to pay emploees and materials, they would proabably make abut $452.36 an hour.
1880
Charles Babbage was the first one to think of it.
ada lovelace worked with charles babbage to make the first computer programme
Babbage didn't make a computer. He designed one, but didn't actually build it. A replica was built in 1991 based on his original plans, and it did work, so if he had gone ahead with the construction, he would have been the first person to make a programmable computer.
Computer is an electronic device. It was invented by Charles Babbage. To solve our problems make are work easier and faster. We can find any information about anything. We can paint, make our assingentments.
charles babbage
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.
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.
That depends on your definition of crazy. While there is nothing mentioned in Babbage's biography that I would consider odd or crazy by today's definition, Babbage's peers certainly thought his Difference Engine was a strange contraption, particularly since he wasn't able to make it work as intended. 18th-century skeptics referred to the early prototypical computer as "Babbage's Folly."
No. He lived in the early 1800s and designed the first fully automatic computer, however it was enormous, entirely mechanical, and he could never convince anyone to pay the cost of building it.
Mild steel, brass, etc. He never actually built anything because he couldn't commit to a single design, he argued too much with his machinist that was making the parts, and Parliament canceled his project and funding for lack of timely progress.
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.. =]
