Modern computers began with mechanical devices built by a british mathematician called Charles Babbage, eventually Charles designed a machine that could read punch cards, making this machine programmable. Many, many years later an inventor named Herman Hollerith created a machine similar to Charles, but was powered by electricity. During the start of WW2, US and European nations began building computers that ran solely off electricity, representing numbers and operations. Long after this, and after computers had advanced quite a bit, two people named Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple, so that computers could be for everyone.
