Most people think of computers as very modern inventions, products of our new technological age.
But actually, the idea for a computer was invented out over two centuries ago by a man called
Charles Babbage.
Babbage was born in 1791 and grew up to be a brilliant mathematician. He drew up plans for several
calculating machines which he called "engines". But despite the fact that he started building some of
these, he never finished any of them. Over the years people have argued whether his machines
would ever work. Recently, however, the Science Museum in London has finished building an engine
that depends on one of Babbage's designs.
It has taken six years to complete and more than four thousand parts have been specially made.
Whether it works or not, the machine will be on show at a special exhibition in the Science Museum to
remind people of Babbage's work.
