who created the computer and who helped along the way?
As you may know, the computer is a very powerful device. When it was first made, it would take up all of your living room! obviously now they are a little bit smaller! :)
More commonly known as the Father of Computing, Charles Babbage created the fisrt computer. It was invented on February 15th, 1946. This man died at the age of 79, but even today, over 200 years later, we still remember his name.
The computer has been aruond for over 250 years. As mad as it sounds, most people think it is only about 30-40 years old, but they are WAY off. The first analog 'computer' was made by the Greeks around 2000 years ago. Obvliously it was not too technological, but it was a good start.
Grace Hopper is also a big name in the computing history. she invented a programming language that us considered 'almost english.' She fought in wars and was given the nickname Amazing Grace after it. Without her, computers would be alot more complicated!
The first electric computer took up over 1800 square feet and wheighed over 27 tons!
