Description of Resource: 
In the 17 Century, the first calculating machines were invented by Wilhelm Schickard and Blaise Pascal (who created the "Pascaline" in 1642). These mechanical devices were remarkable creations but they could only perform specific calculations. Arguably the first programmable computer was the Analytical Engine by Charles Babbage conceived in 1835 but never completed.
