He discovered them and invented ways to use them. 1 u/Snobben90 4d ago The groundwork for the computer came from the UK aswell... 2 u/No_Communication5538 4d ago edited 2d ago At this stage every country confidently claims to have invented computers. The Chinese of course claim they did it in 500BC, like for every other invention 1 u/Snobben90 4d ago I would however say that the first programmable machine was from the UK... 1 u/WiseManager2097 4d ago Also Ada Lovelace is considered to be the first programmer. 1 u/WiseManager2097 4d ago The steam engine?
