he got frustrated being a human computer, with human computer error rates, with typesetting errors of human computers hand written answers, and said "there has to be a way to do this with steam!"

Who thought of the idea of the computer?
Charles Babbage
Why did J. H. Muller invent the computer?
He didn't, he conceived the Difference Engine in 1786. Later Charles Babbage expanded on this idea with his much larger Difference Engines, which ultimately inspired his Analytical Engine a fully programmable mechanical digital computer.
Who invented inventive computer programming?
Probably the first person to invent a programmable computer. That would be Charles Babbage, although he never built the computer. The idea of a programmable computer and the program to run on it are inextricably linked, one cannot be without the other.
Who was discovered the computer?
Charles Babbage was the first to create the idea of a mechanical computer ( he invented it, he didn't discover it). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage
Where is Charles Babbage born?
Charles Babbage did not invent the computer. He improved and made what we call the computer. He finished it in 1812.He did not design the Analytical Engine until the 1840s and he never built it. He could not finish anything as he always got distracted by a better idea.
When did Charles Babbage first invent the computer?
Charles Babbage made several plans to completing the computer in London. Babbage was born in London in 1791 and spent most of his life in or near that city, other than attending school (various secondary schools, then Cambridge University) and a short time after his marriage (when he lived in the West Midlands, not far from Wales), so it would have been there.
The idea that employees should also share the profit of organization was given by which of?
Charles Babbage
When did Charles Babbage invent the abacus?
While Charles Babbage did invent a calculator as well as what is considered the first programmable computer, he did not invent the abacus. This basic counting tool was invented in China around 3000 B.C. Babbage most certainly would have known of the abacus, indeed he likely would have used one himself, but it is not a tool of his original design.
What was the name of the person that invented the first computer?
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.
Who had the idea for the first computer?
Charles Babbage, but he never built it. It was mechanical, slow, and very big. If he had built it, just the 1000 word data memory would have occupied over 250 square feet of floor space.
How did Charles Babbage got idea to make computer?
Babbage said that drowsing over a book of log tables, (as one does) he got the idea of a machine to do the calculating. But there is not only one person to credit. In my subconscious (over which I have no responsibility) Napier's bones comes to mind. There is a good article in wikipedia under invention of computer.
You want to know more about Charles barbage?
Charles Babbage was an English mathematician, philosopher, and inventor known as the "father of the computer." In the early 19th century, he conceptualized the idea of a mechanical computer called the Analytical Engine which had the capabilities of performing complex calculations. Although the Analytical Engine was never built during Babbage's lifetime, his designs and ideas laid the foundation for modern computers. He is also credited with inventing the first mechanical computer, the Difference Engine, which was used to calculate mathematical tables.
