In 1887, the
concept
of "
computers
"
as
we
understand it today did not exist,
as
the
technology
for modern
electronic computers
was still
decades
away. However, the late 19th
century
was
a
significant
time
for the development of theoretical
concepts
and mechanical devices that would pave the way for computing. One notable figure in this
era
was
Charles Babbage
, who is often referred to
as
the "father of the
computer
.
