Best Answer

Computers were invented to help with tedious and hard work, such as calculating large numbers and doing different special jobs. Computers in the old days were expensive and not used by everyday people, and only people with special privileges could use them. They could generate shapes of different kinds with pixels. However, Some “hackers” from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) secretly got onto the computer and changed the code to make the shapes interactive and created the first video game, and from then on that game was automatically included in all computers. Computers became more than just something to do the boring work of humans and became a machine that could be used for fun and games, and anyone could use them.

Computers were made to do the very tedious computations of everyday life and business. The first calculators performed computations in seconds that would take someone using a slide rule minutes if not hours to do. Calculations for NASA entry and exit trajectories would take days or even weeks to calculate by hand and the first mainframe computers would do the calculations in minutes.

"The Father of Computers" Charles Babbage who invented the 1st mechanical Computer.. in 1834 he dreamt of designing mechanical calculating machines. "... I was sitting in the rooms of the Analytical Society, at Cambridge, my head leaning forward on the table in a kind of dreamy mood, with a table of logarithms lying open before me. Another member, coming into the room, and seeing me half asleep, called out, "Well, Babbage, what are you dreaming about?" to which I replied "I am thinking that all these tables" (pointing to the logarithms) "might be calculated by machinery. "

The British government first financed the project but then later cut off support. Babbage went on to design his much more general analytical engine but later returned and produced an improved design (his "Difference Engine No. 2") between 1834 and 1869.

Meanwhile Ada Lovelace is credited as the "first Computer programmer" since she was writing programs -that is, manipulating symbols according to rules-for Babbage's machine. The rest Followed.

The first programmable electronic digital computer was invented by Tommy Flowers to help break German "Fish" teletype ciphers during World War 2. Ten of these were built before the end of the war, also making it the first computer built in a quantity larger than one until 1952 when Remington Rand began making the UNIVAC i.

Computers were primarily invented as calculating machines.as time and technology progressed,more computers that performed more complex tasks were required,thus resulting in todays pcs and super computers..
