<human>:  I have a question about a book I read called science and technology q a for kids. Who invented the first computer?
<bot>: The first computer was invented by Charles Babbage in 1822. Babbage was a mathematician and inventor who was interested in the idea of a mechanical computer. He designed a machine that could calculate numbers and perform other mathematical operations. He never built the machine, but he did write a book about it called The Analytical Engine.
