In 1833, Charles Babbage created the Analytical Engine, which was the first working

                 model of a mechanical computer that was fully program-controlled. That’s why
                 Charles Babbage was known as the ‘Father of Computers.’






















                 Lady Ada Lovelace’s Programs

                 The instructions for Babbage’s Analytical Engine were written

                 in  0’s  and  1’s,  and  this  concept  was  first  introduced  by
                 Lady Ada Lovelace. Because, she was the first to develop
                 the concept of programming, she was known as the First
                 Computer Programmer.
                   Herman Hollerith’s Tabulating Machine


                 In  1890,  an  army  engineer,  Herman  Hollerith, created a

                 machine called the Tabulating Machine. This machine read
                 and stored data using punched cards.

                 After his machine was successful, Hollerith started a company
                 called the Computing Tabulating Recording Company to
                 sell it. Later, in 1924, his company joined another company
                 International  Business  Machines  Corporation,  today

                 popularly known as IBM.
