The Mechanical Age (1450-1840)

In 1832, Babbage also invented the “analytical engine”. This engine was a mechanical adding machine that took information from punched cards to solve and print complex mathematical operations. Babage’s difference engine and the analytical engine are regarded as the first “thinking machines”. These engines were easy to operate and produced solutions at the turn of a hand crank. Babage’s inventions earned the title “father of computers”.
