Charles Babbage grew up Totnes, Devonshire. He created the first computer in 1824. He also created the "pilot", which is a metal frame that attaches to the front of locomotives which clears the tracks of obstacles in 1838. He had many accomplishments in life, and made a difference in our present day electronics.
The Enlightenment: Time of increased knowledge of science and government.
