- Technology
When was the first computer 💻 built? And who wrote the first computer program? 🤔
The✨ History of Computing✨ series is here to uncover how we got from punchcards to complex tech we study today! Join Alex and Keith as they explore the life and legacy of the first pioneers 🤓 of computer science, and dive into the mechanical marvels ⚙️ they envisioned. Discover:
The journey to develop the very first computing machines 😮,
How a computer without electricity 💡 was even possible, and
How Ada Lovelace became the first 🥇 ever computer programmer 👩💻
01:09 Ada’s upbringing02:02 Background on Babbage03:06 The Difference Engine No. 108:44 Ada meets Babbage09:28 Ada’s path in mathematics10:29 The Analytical Engine14:55 The First Computer Programmer15:44 The Difference Engine No. 216:50 Babbage and Ada’s legacy
