Who invented the computer?

  • Charles Babbage

    Inventor of the First Automatic Digital Computer.

  • Ada Lovelace

    Ada Lovelace is considered the first computer programmer. Even though she wrote about a computer, the Analytical Engine, that was never built, she realized that the computer could follow a series of simple instructions, a program, to perform a complex calculation.

  • ENIAC Programmers

    The ENIAC programmers' work included the development of concepts like subroutines and nesting. Jean Bartik would later lead a team to turn the ENIAC into a stored program computer in the late 1940s.

  • Mauchly and Eckert

    Eckert and Mauchly have nonetheless been credited by history with inventing the ENIAC, the world's first large-scale general purpose electronic computer.

  • Alan turing

    he published a paper asking “can machines think?”. He detailed a procedure, later known as the Turing test, to determine whether a machine could imitate human conversation.

  • Grace Hopper

    one of the first computer programmers to work on the Harvard Mark I. She was also a United States Navy rear admiral, helped develop COBOL -- one of the first high-level programming languages -- and invented the first compiler, a program that translates programming code to machine language.

  • Mark Dean

    He developed the ISA bus, and he led a design team for making a one-gigahertz computer processor chip.
