  Computers are first invented by Charles Babbage.He was born in 1837.Descriptions from the Wikipedia are as follows,“A computer is a machine for manipulating data according to a list of instructions.Computers take numerous physical forms.Early electronic computers were the size of a large room,consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers.Today,computers can be made small enough to fit into a wrist watch and be powered from a watch battery.”[1]
