Here’s a glitch of steampunk icon Charles Babbage himself (Wikipedia bio). (This is part 3 of a series of glitch art photos posted to our Instagram feed.) Babbage invented a mechanical computer in the 19th century that is still being studied today. It was one of our most popular set of photos on IG. So, of course we had to do some glitched art versions.
Later versions of Babbage’s inventions were built after his death and performed calculations for tables used by sailors and statisticians. These early mechanical computers were gradually improved over the next 200 years, ultimately incorporating electronics. The history of the computer does not begin with the transistor.
