Who was the Founder of Computer?

Not Benedict Cumberbatch but the guy he played, Alan Turing. Alan Turing is the father of computers. He is the original inventor of computers and made way for a whole new science. He was also a gay scientist which was deeply frowned upon in the U.K. back then.

He achieved this feat while trying to figure out how to decode the code that the Germans used and changed everyday. He figured out how to achieve this using the 2 words, “Heil Hitler”.

People may say something like Charles Babbage and Henry Babbage (they aren’t wrong but aren’t entirely right at the same time), but I think the Alan Turing was the true genius.

Charles Babbage was considered to be the father of computing after his invention and concept of the Analytical Engine in 1837.

The Analytical Engine contained an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), basic flow control, and integrated memory; hailed as the first general-purpose computer concept. Unfortunately, because of funding issues, this computer was never built.

Charles Babbage was the founder of computer but he had developed an calculator which could do arithmetic and logical operations.

Charles Babbage (1791–1871) is generally credited as the inventor of modern computing. His Difference Engine and Analytical Engine are regarded as the first programmable “computers;” the Analytical Engine even had parts analogous to CPU and memory (along with input and the output, which Babbage called “a printer”).

Lady Ada Lovelace (1815–1852) worked closely with Babbage; she is credited with recognizing that Babbage’s device had applications beyond mere calculation, and wrote the first algorithm for the Analytical Engine.

We could argue that the first computer was the abacus or its descendant, the slide rule, invented by William Oughtred in 1622. But the first computer resembling today's modern machines was the Analytical Engine, a device conceived and designed by British mathematician Charles Babbage between 1833 and 1871.

Charles Babbage was considered to be the father of computing after his concept, and then later the invention of the Analytical Engine in 1837. The Analytical Engine contained an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), basic flow control, and integrated memory; hailed as the first general-purpose computer concept.

In 1833, Charles Babbage invented all the parts a modern computer uses, but it wasn’t until 120 years later that the first modern computers were invented. These first computers were huge and took up a whole room. The beginnings of computers as we know them happened in 1980 – only 30 years ago.
