Definitely Charles Babbage is the father of computer ,and he is considered as the father of computer because..


Babbage invented a 'counting machine' called The Difference Engine.

This thing was spectacular. In those days it took a lot of people to count thing...taxes, bankers, areas of finance and markets...all about counting large amounts.

Charles Babbage created his Difference Engine and it actually worked. He could put a couple of number in it and it would do any of various mathematical equations and serve him up the answer.

It was a mass of cogs and wheels and still stands today, If I am not mistaken in a london Museum. read this!:

Here is more input from others:

* Charles Babbage never gave up. In 1833 he created another machine.

* Charles Babbage considered the father of Computers becoz he invented Diffence Engine and then Analytical Engine, which can store the information on Punched Cards during 1800's ( Year ). Storing of Information on Punched Cards is done by Charles Babbage on those days, this is the reason - why he is so called as "Father of Computers". His sons like Wilkes called Babbage as "Grandfather of Computing". See the
