<br>
<p class="p-info">Charles Babbage, often hailed as the 'father of the computer,' was a
19th-century
English
polymath and inventor. He conceptualized and designed early mechanical computing devices,
most
notably the Difference Engine and the more advanced Analytical Engine. Babbage's pioneering
ideas laid the groundwork for modern computing, featuring concepts like programmability,
memory,
and basic arithmetic operations.</p>

<p class="p-info"> Gordon Moore, a co-founder of Intel Corporation, articulated 'Moore's Law' in
a
seminal paper
published in 1965. The law posited that the number of transistors on a microchip would
double
approximately every two years, leading to a corresponding doubling of computational power.
This
observation became a guiding principle for the semiconductor industry and accurately
predicted
the rapid advancement and miniaturization of computer technology over several decades. </p>
