There are several men who are considered to be the father of the modern computer. These include Charles Babbage and Alan Turing:

  • Of programmable computers Charles Babbage, (26 December 1791 - 18 October 1871)
  • The first programmer Ada Lovelace, (10 December 1815 - 27 November 1852)
  • Of electronic computers Alan Turing, (23 June 1912 - 7 June 1954)
  • Of some of the logic methods employed by computers George Stibitz, (April 30, 1904 - January 31, 1995)
  • The word algorithm derives from the name of an Arab mathematician Al-Khuwarizmi, (about 790 - about 850).

Charles Babbage is also known as the father of computers. He invented the Difference Engine and, the Analytical Engine.

The first idea presented about computing machines was given by Al-Khuwarizmi (Muslim mathematician). He presented a circuit diagram, for which he requested the electricians to make that circuit. But due to lack of technology and knowledge the circuit was unable to be completed. For about 100 years, his idea was ignored. But when the people turned towards the idea of old scientists, they made a machine which was known to be the first computer of the world.
