When we think of computers, we might imagine a very advanced technological device or a deadly robot. But did you know that the concept of computer was created by Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage almost 200 years ago? They were ahead of their time, but lacked the idea of universal computing. 100 years later, Alan Turing figured it out for military use. In fact, the technology for computers already existed in the 1850s with telegraphs, which contained the technology required for automated computing at scale. Arguably, the telegraphs could have been the earliest internet if they had been connected by these computing engines. However, it took the urgency of World War II and the need for code breakers to push computing forward. That's when Aida M. Babbage's idea became a reality and shaped the world we live in today. So be careful next time you dream, because it might eventually define how the world
