12. History of Computer Idea behind computer
Charles Babbage ( ): “Father of Computers”. In 1837
Gave idea to ‘stored program’ general-purpose computer
Invented Difference Engine and Analytical Engine
A programmable, mechanical machine
Carry out any kind of calculations
Make decisions based on the calculations of previous calculations
Input  Process  Ouput Components
Not Built till 1940 as ‘Harvard Mark-1’

13. History of Computer Ada, Countess of Lovelace
Assisted Charles Babbage in writing a program for his machine
Wrote a program for computing the Bernoulli’s sequence on the Analytical Engine world’s 1st computer program
