Charles Babbage's engines were among the first mechanical computers. His engines were not actually completed, largely because of funding problems and personality issues.
Babbage realized that a machine could do the work better and more reliably than a human being.
Although Babbage's machines were mechanical monsters their basic architecture was astonishingly similar to a modern computer.
The data and program memory were separated, operation was instruction based, control unit could make conditional jumps and the machine had a separate I/O unit.

Who invented the computer" or the modern coputer? is not a question with a simple answer. The real answer is that many inventors contributed to the history of computers and that a computer is a complex piece of machinery made up of many parts, each of which can be considered a separate invention.
