Analytical Engine
In 1833 A mechanical Engineer and a polymath developed the concept of a programmable computer. He designed a general purpose programmable steam machine called 'Analytic Engine'. It could do mathematical calculations based on given instructions automatically and output could be obtained in the form of printing.
According to design the engine would have input unit, storage unit and a central processing unit. This machine was not completed due to immature technology of that time. Modern computers are based on the concept of analytic engine. So, Charles Babbage is considered as the father of computer.
