Who was the father of the computer?

Charles Babbage is called the ‘father of the computer’. He was a professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University. In 1823, he began work on calculating machine, but it was not completed. The second machine, which he called an ‘analytical engine’, too did not reach completion. Nonetheless, the analytical engine as Babbage conceived it is regarded as the predecessor of the modern digital computer.
