He didn't. Charles Babbage designed and built the first analog computer in 1822, but the British government withdrew funding before the build was complete. Nevertheless, working models based upon Babbage's improved designs first appeared in 1855, a full 36 years before Vannevar Bush was born.
A working model of Difference Engine No. 2 was built and completed in 1991, proving Babbage's original designs would have worked. Thus he is credited as the father of the computer.
1929 at MIT
Vending machine
he helped invent the computer ;)
This MIT engineer developed the first modern analog computer to solve complex equations. It weighed 100 tons and incorporated 150 motors and some 200 miles (about 300 km) of wire.
Vannevar Bush was born on March 11, 1890.
Vannevar Bush Award was created in 1980.
Vannevar Bush died on June 30, 1974 at the age of 84.
Vannevar Bush was born on March 11, 1890 and died on June 30, 1974. Vannevar Bush would have been 84 years old at the time of death or 125 years old today.
vanner bush is the mis-spelling of Vannevar
Vanevar Bush designed an electromechanical analog computer called the Differential Analyzer. Bush's machine cost about $500,000 to build. Much of the ENIAC architecture and programming system was derived from the Differential Analyzer, except ENIAC was all electronic and all digital. In Eckert and Mauchley's ENIAC proposal to the Army they estimated the cost to build at about $50,000. The Army took the proposal to Bush for evaluation, as he had the most experience with computing machines on this scale (even though his was analog and ENIAC was digital). Bush estimated cost to build at about $500,000... he was right! Vanevar Bush also had a lot to do with advising on ICBM development and the Space Program later.
well he actually helped Konrad Zuse with the computer.
