With previous attempts and ideas, in 1822, computer pioneer, Charles Babbage was able to design the first automatic computing engine; however, Babbage was unable to build it himself (The Babbage Engine”). His machine was composed of “a model of his early difference engine - a brass calculating machine capable of tabulating higher-order polynomial functions - alongside a silver automaton in the form of a dancing ballerina” according to Nature magazine (Holmes).
