Who invented the first computer?

Jessica Korte is a PhD student at Griffith University. Her research will create a method for designing technologies with young Deaf children. In 1837—the year Victoria became Queen—a man named Charles Babbage invented the world’s first computer. At the time, “computer” was a job title given to human mathematicians who calculated problems with the aid of tables and books. But these computers made mistakes, which infuriated Babbage. So he designed a machine he called the Analytical Engine. It had a central processing unit, which he called the “mill”; memory, which he called the “store”; and a programming language, based on the punched cards used to control looms, which allowed for complex programs to be created. The first computer program was written by the Countess of Lovelace, Augusta Ada King, the daughter of the poet Lord Byron. Lovelace saw that the Analytical Engine could be used for things other than mathematics, including composing music. Sadly, the Analytical Engine was never actually built, and faded into obscurity. Otherwise the computer revolution of the 1950s might have happened a century earlier.

The Analytical Engine was a proposed mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English mathematician Charles Babbage. It was first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's difference engine, a design for a mechanical calculator. The Analytical Engine incorporated an arithmetical unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first Turing-complete design for a general-purpose computer.
Babbage was never able to complete construction of any of his machines due to conflicts with his chief engineer and inadequate funding. It was not until 100 years later, in the 1940s, that the first general-purpose computers were actually built.
Babbage's first attempt at a mechanical computing device, the difference engine, was a special-purpose calculator designed to tabulate logarithms and trigonometric functions by evaluating finite differences to create approximating polynomials. Construction of this machine was never completed; Babbage had conflicts with his chief engineer, Joseph Clement, and ultimately the British government withdrew its funding for the project.

Listen to Charles Babbage interviews
Pause Charles Babbage interviews
Sorry, can't find any Charles Babbage interviews.
Charles Babbage, FRS (26 December 1791 – 18 October 1871) was an English mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer who originated the concept of a programmable computer. Considered a "father of the computer", Babbage is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer that eventually led to more complex designs.
Parts of his uncompleted mechanisms are on display in the London Science Museum. In 1991, a perfectly functioning difference engine was constructed from Babbage's original plans. Built to tolerances achievable in the 19th century, the success of the finished engine indicated that Babbage's machine would have worked. Nine years later, the Science Museum completed the printer Babbage had designed for the difference engine.
Babbage's birthplace is disputed, but he was most likely born at 44 Crosby Row, Walworth Road, London, England. A blue plaque on the junction of Larcom Street and Walworth Road commemorates the event.
His date of birth was given in his obituary in The Times as 26 December 1792. However after the obituary appeared, a nephew wrote to say that Charles Babbage was born one year earlier, in 1791. The parish register of St. Mary's Newington, London, shows that Babbage was baptised on 6 January 1792, supporting a birth year of 1791.
