I don't have the year of his birth or death in my records. (I'll keep looking.)  However, his patent for the guitar (#338,727) was issued Mar. 3, 1886, so it is safe to say he is no longer alive.

In 1928, Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming. \n\nHe was trying to grow bacteria, bu tHe found that in the vessel that had penicilin, all the bacteria are dead, he tested it several times and finally he found the anti-bacterial power in penicillin.

Robert Hooke, b 18 July 1635, d 3 March 1703. Best known for Hooke's law (Stress is proportional to strain, i.e. if you pull an elastic band, it gets longer)\n\nRobert Hooke is one of the most neglected natural philosophers of all time. The inventor of, amongst other things, the iris diaphragm in cameras, the universal joint used in motor vehicles, the balance wheel in a watch, the originator of the word 'cell' in biology, he was Surveyor of the City of London after the Great Fire of 1666, architect, experimenter, and worked in astronomy. He fell out with Newton, and certainly had a difficult temperament. He deserves more from history than he received in his lifetime.\n\nRobert Hooke was born at Freshwater, Isle of Wight, son of John Hooke, curate at All Saints' Church. The church stands at the end of what is now Hooke Road, which also has the Hooke Museum. Robert Hooke was one of the most brilliant and versatile of seventeenth-century English scientists, but he is also one of the lesser known; his persona and his contributions are far outweighed in public perception by those of Newton and of Wren. \n\nNo likeness exists of Robert Hooke. Hooke was origianlly buried at St Helen's Bishopsgate, but his bones were moved to 'somewhere in North London' in the 19th century, so his final burial place is unknown.\n\nHe is described by two people. Firstly his friend John Aubrey, on Hooke in middle life:\n\n'He is but of midling stature, something crooked, pale faced, and his face but little below, but his head is lardge, his eie full and popping, and not quick; a grey eie. He haz a delicate head of haire, browne, and of an excellent moist curle. He is and ever was temperate and moderate in dyet, etc.'\n\nRichard Waller knew the elderly Hooke, embittered by his controversies with Christiaan Huyghens and his feeling that he had been cheated by Newton:\n\n'As to his person he was but despicable, being very crooked, tho' I have heard from himself, and others, that he was strait till about 16 Years of Age when he first grew awry, by frequent practicing, with a Turn-Lath . . . He was always very pale and lean, and laterly nothing but Skin and Bone, with a meagre aspect, his eyes grey and full, with a sharp ingenious Look whilst younger; his nose but thin, of a moderate height and length; his mouth meanly wise, and upper lip thin; his chin sharp, and Forehead large; his Head of a middle size. He wore his own hair of a dark Brown colour, very long and hanging neglected over his Face uncut and lank....'\n\nThis is not a flattering description; even Aubrey's is hardly complimentary.\n\nHooke came to Westminster School during the first decade of Dr Busby's 55 year incumbency as Head Master. He remained on good terms with Busby, indeed the only remaining building that is certainly Hooke's architecture alone is the parish church at Willen, in Buckinghamshire, which was Busby's living. At Westminster Hooke was said to have acquired mastery of ancient languages, learned to play the organ, 'contrived severall ways of flying', and mastered the first six books of Euclid's Elements in a week.\n\nHooke acquired a place as chorister at Christ Church Oxford, leaving Westminster in 1653. The chorister role may have been simply that Hooke received a modest endowment, since the Anglican Church was abolished between 1643 and 1660. In Oxford Hooke met those who would go on to form the Royal Society, and where he was encouraged in a wide variety of scientific endeavours. In 1658 he became assistant to Robert Boyle, where his mechanical skills were of use especially in the construction of the improved version of the air pump of Otto Guericke described in Boyle's New Experiments PhysicoMechanicall (1660). In 1662 Hooke was appointed Curator of Experiments to the newly founded Royal Society, being responsible for the experiments performed at its weekly meetings. This role was as that of a

Well, I wasn't able to find anything specific on who he married or when, but it looks like I'm not the only one who's in the dark:\n\n"We do not know whether he married or had children, nor even with any certainty when and where he was born and died. Nor do we know what he looked like."\n\nHere's the website that's from: http://technology.guardian.co.uk/online/science/story/0,12450,834755,00.html .  Sorry!

Nobody discovered a computer. It was invented. As far as who acctually invented the computer is still being debated to this day.

Christopher Sydney Cockerell (June 4, 1910 – June 1, 1999) was a British engineer, inventor of the hovercraft.\n\nCockerell was born in Cambridge, England, where his father, Sir Sydney Cockerell, was curator of the Fitzwilliam Museum. He was educated at Gresham's School, Holt, Norfolk He began his career working for the Marconi company in 1935, and got married soon afterwards. He worked on radar systems during the Second World War. His great invention, the hovercraft, first saw the light of day in 1953. The idea was not an immediate success, and he was forced to sell personal possessions in order to finance his research. By 1959, a prototype craft was crossing the English Channel between Dover and Calais. Cockerell was knighted in 1969 for his services to engineering. He died at Hythe in Hampshire\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Cockerell

I would suggest a trip to the library. Look for books on inventors. Also, meet the person sitting behind the desk that says, "reference". You are why they live.
