It may seem odd but the computer has, in fact, been invented twice. The first time was in mid-nineteenth century Britain and, then again, a hundred years later in the same country. The reasons are complicated but the original inventor, Charles Babbage, was both impatient and uninterested in communicating his work. Besides, the machine itself was not actually built until a few years ago, although the design pre-dated it by a century and a half.
