<P> Charles Babbage is often regarded as one of the first pioneers of computing . Beginning in the 1810s , Babbage had a vision of mechanically computing numbers and tables . Putting this into reality , Babbage designed a calculator to compute numbers up to 8 decimal points long . Continuing with the success of this idea , Babbage worked to develop a machine that could compute numbers with up to 20 decimal places . By the 1830s , Babbage had devised a plan to develop a machine that could use punched cards to perform arithmetical operations . The machine would store numbers in memory units , and there would be a form of sequential control . This means that one operation would be carried out before another in such a way that the machine would produce an answer and not fail . This machine was to be known as the `` Analytical Engine '' , which was the first true representation of what is the modern computer . </P>
