  • Charlie Babbage

    Charlie Babbage
    Charlie Babbage, english mathematician, philosopher and inventor who is credited with having conceived the first automatic digital computer. He was born december 26, 1791, England. Also known as the father of computers. During the mid-1830s Babbage developed plans for the Analytical Engine.The International Charles Babbage Society took his name to honor. Babbage detailed plans for mechanical Calculating Engines, difference Engines, and analytical Engines.
  • Ada Lovelace

    Ada Lovelace
    Ada Lovelace was a woman who was developing the first computer algorithm for Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine. Lovelace was the world’s first computer programmer. She wrote the first machine algorithm for an premature. Computing machines that only existed on paper existed only on paper. It was the year 1833 when Ada Lovelace met the mathematician Charles Babbage, who had designed a calculating machine called the Difference Engine.
  • Alan Turing

It was then that Turing called off duty at Bletchley park and escalated his work on Enigma.
  • John von Neumann

    John von Neumann
    John von Neumann original name Janos Neumann, born december 28, 1903, Budapest, died February 8, 1957, Washington. Hungarian born American mathematician. 1913 he appended von to his surname. Von Neumann grew from child prodigy to one of the world’s foremost mathematicians by his mid-twenties. He worked in game theory, studied what are now called von Neumann Algebras. Inguarutated a career is his important work in a set of theory that touched nearly every major branch of mathematics.
  • Duglas Engelbart

    Duglas Engelbart
    ‘Father of the Mouse’ is Duglas Engelbart known for. Even so, his work on computer interactivity over several decades led to the development of the ARPANET. Engelbart is a american inventor and computer pioneer who in the 1960s invented the mouse and developed hypertext, video conferencing, word processing program. In other words he made it possible to help ordinary people to use computers. He demonstrated his technique then known as NLS, at a famous show in 1968.

  • Tim Berners- Lee

    Tim Berners- Lee
    In 1989 a man named Tim Berners- Lee invented the world wide web, in words Intranet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory. In 1990 he wrote the first web client and server. URls, HTTP and HTML are his statement and were clarified as web technology spread. Lee is a British computer scientist and his parents were early computer scientists and was born in London.
