  • Charles babbage

    Charles babbage
    Charles was a English mathematician and inventor who is credited with having conceived the first automatic digital computer. He contributed to many different scientific fields but his most famous work is designing a programmable computing device.Charles Babbage is considered the “father of the computer” and is given credit for devising the first ever mechanical computer. His design served as the blue print for other, more complex machines.
  • Ada lovelace

    Ada lovelace
    Ada Lovelace has been called the world's first computer programmer. What she did was write the world's first machine algorithm for an early computing machine that existed only on paper. People believed that she was not the first computer programmer because of her gender and how they were viewed then.
  • John Von Neumann

    John Von Neumann
    John Neumann was a computer scientist. John was an important figure in computer science. The use of memory in digital computers to store both sequences of instructions and data was a breakthrough to which John made major contributions. John also created the field of cellular automata without the aid of computers,on John was the first to establish a rigorous mathematical framework for quantum mechanics, known as the Dirac–von Neumann axioms, John was the inventor of the merge sort algorithm,
  • Alan turing

    Alan turing
    Alan Turing was an English mathematician and pioneer of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, he was instrumental in breaking the German enigma code, leading to allied victory over Nazi Germany. Enigma was a device used by the German military command to encode strategic messages before and during World war 11.
  • Douglas Engelbart

    Douglas Engelbart
    Douglas was an american inventor who created the computer mouse , the mouse is an essential input device for all modern computers but it wasn't so long ago that computers had no mouse and no graphical user interface. Data was entered by typing commands on a keyboard. Without it, we may have endured convoluted keyboard commands for years, greatly hindering the process of bringing the PC into homes everywhere. The mouse revolutionized computer interfaces, and helped connect the world

  • Tim Berners-Lee

    Tim Berners-Lee
    Sir Tim Berners-lee is a British computer scientist. Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Weeb. He wrote the first web client and servers in 1990, His specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined as web technology spread. He enabled a system to be able to view web pages, known as hypertext documents, through the internet. The world wide weeb connected the world in a way that was not possible before, it made it much easier for people to get information, share and communicate
