The history of computers goes way back to a history that is unknown. There is one man who started a significant project to build something people consider to be the first computer. This man was Charles Babbage. Pre-1822 tables for just about everything mathematical (multiplication, climate, stocks) and had to be made by human mathematicians nicknamed "computers". Being human, these "computers" made many errors. Charles Babbage convinced the British government that he could make a machine that could make accurate tables. Granted a sum of money, Babbage started working on his machine, the "difference engine". Ten years later, Babbage made a working part of the difference engine. It could accurately compute 5 digit numbers for tables. However, this was only a small part of the proposed machine. Due to the lack of results and the skyrocketing prices, the government had to withdraw from the funding. Without the support from the government, Babbage started to build a new machine that was superior to the difference engine and could solve any mathematical question. Enter, The Analytical Engine. Although Babbage did not finish the Difference Engine nor the Analytical Engine due to death, these to machines were considered the first to legitimate computers even though they used mechanical parts such as gears and shafts.

I hope this was helpful.

In 1958 the Japanese created the NEC-1101 computer. This came after a series of calculators, the best of these by Alan Turing in 1936. In 1975 the first personal computer was invented - Michael wise's "sphere 1"; by 1977 Apple were in on computers and by the early 1980s there were over 1 million computers worldwide.
