Charles Babbage

Charles Babbage is often called the "father of computing" because of his invention of the Analytical Engine, however many people do not know the details of this very important man’s life. Charles Babbage was born in Teignmouth, Devonshire on December 26, 1792, just about that same time that the industrial revolution was beginning. Although not much is really known about his childhood, it is known that he had many brothers and sisters, but most of them died before adulthood.

Babbage created his first invention, a type of shoes made of books that helped one walk on water, at his father’s summer home. This idea was good, but it didn’t work, because he would weave too much from side to side and eventually would fall over. It is told that in 1810, at the age of nineteen, Babbage went to Cambridge. There, Babbage studied grammar, literature, and many other important lessons, but he found his obsession to be mathematics, and he read many books
