One of the most advanced contributions by Charles Babbage to the world was the invention of a 'Black Box'. His 'Black Box' was designed to record what happened when trains had accidents. He also designed a cow catcher for the front of the train, experimented with tidal energy, and designed an arcade game like tic-tac-toe.

Charles Babbage was a computer designer who invented the first "difference engine" computer. Because his design was so complex, Babbage devoted much of his time to developing the field of operations management.

Babbage's machines - In the early nineteenth century, the English navy had ships sailing to colonies all across the globe. Navigators on the ships needed a precise way of locating their position, and the British Admiralty offered a prize to anyone who could simplify the laborious process of calculating everything by hand. Around 1825, an inventor named Charles Babbage came up with a machine, called a Difference Engine, which did automate part of the process. He also proposed a much more ambitious machine, called an Analytical Engine. In this proposed machine, Babbage extended Jacquard's ideas by using punch cards for several different purposes.

Even though it was mechanical and not electronic, the Analytical Engine contained many of the aspects of a modern computer: a way to enter information (an input device), a way to store information (a memory device), a way to enter a series of instructions to be performed (a program), and a way to display results (an output device). Unfortunately, for a number of reasons, Babbage was unable to build an Analytical Engine. (In the twentieth century, people were able to follow his plans and actually build a working model.) Despite this failure, because of his contributions, Babbage is sometimes called the "father of modern computing."

Charles Babbage is considered the father of the computer because he created the engine for the computer and later it lead to the computer we know today.
