Computers evolved. First there were manual typewriters, then there were electric typewriters then there were electronic typewriters, then dedicated wordprocessors but also along the line on a different path computers were being designed, rather like humans and apes, then computers become popular in the mid 70's to 80's and now computers are in every walk of life, your phone is a computer, your calculator is a computer, you get your money out of a hole in the wall - an ATM, a computer, your money goes into a till in the supermarket and you get a receipt out of it - a computer. But the real beginning for the proper computer is down to Babbage.
