Charles Babbage was considered the father of computing for inventing the Analytical Engine in 1837, which contained the core components of a general-purpose computer like an arithmetic logic unit, basic flow control, and integrated memory. The keyboard became the main input method for computers following the decline of punch cards and paper tape, using an arrangement of buttons to act as mechanical levers or switches. The mouse controls a computer screen's cursor when moved on a flat surface and reduced keyboard usage, making it an important breakthrough in computer ergonomics.
6. Charles Babbage
Charles Babbage was considered to
be the father of computing after his
invention and concept of the
Analytical Engine in 1837. The
Analytical Engine contained an
Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), basic
flow control, and integrated
memory; hailed as the first general-
purpose computer concept.

10. KEYBOARD
• In computing, a computer
keyboard is a typewriter-style
device which uses an
arrangement of buttons or keys
to act as mechanical levers or
electronic switches. Following
the decline of punch cards and
paper tape, interaction via
teleprinter-style keyboards
became the main input method
for computers.
11. MOUSE
• A mouse is a small handheld
input device that controls a
computer screen's cursor or
pointer in conjunction with the
way it is moved on a flat
surface. ... Because the mouse
reduces the use of a keyboard,
its invention and continuous
innovation is considered one of
the most important
breakthroughs in computer
ergonomics.
