who invented the computer in fact

Who Invented The Computer

Who Invented the Computer is not a question that can be simply answered. There are really no simple answer about the question. The real Answer is that many inventors contributed to the history of computers and that a computer is a complex piece of machinery made up of many parts and each of which can be considered as a separate invention. 

                                                           The calculating machine ABACUS invented by a Chinese (2700 B.C.-2300 B.C.) was the first Mechanical calculating device for counting of large numbers. The word ABACUS means calculating board and the word computer came from the word "compute" which means to calculate. Until the development of the first generation computers based on vacuum tubes, there had been several developments in the computing technology related to the mechanical computing devices. for example Napier's Bones was a mechanical device invented and built by an English Mathematician John Napier in 1617 A.D. for the purpose of Multiplication. Thereafter Slide Rule (1593-1656), after that Pascal's Adding and Subtracting Machine (1642) after that Leibniz's Multiplication and Dividing Machine (1673), after that Punch Card System (1801), after that Charles Babbage's Analytic Engine for Complex mathematical calculation (1823).

                                                               So if anybody says that Charles Babbage had invented the computer, this is not the truth but yes Charles Babbage is called Father of Computer as he invented the base of modern computer and the analytic engine for the computers. Also Lady Ada Lovelace is Called Mother of Computer as she invented the motherboard of computer. So this is obvious that if Mother of Computer is not an inventor of computer then how can we say that Charles Babbage invented the Computer? which means its wrong to say that Charles Babbage (only) Invented the computer. Hence the real answer is that there are so many inventors each of which can be considered as a separate invention.

The Word "Computer" was first recorded as being used in 1913. The term computer is derived from the Latin word "Compute" which means to calculate. The Definition of a Computer remained the same until the end of the 19th century when people began to realize that machines never get tired and can perform calculations much faster and more accurately than any other team of human in various fields. 

Today Computer, Mobiles and Tablets (mini computers) are like a part of body and a must have thing. Today these things are like a part of our life style. The Technology is improving day by day and we are using these Technological Bang (Technical things) like an addiction.
