1853 Close-up of Babbage’s 19th-century early mechanical computer
Photo post: 1853 Close-up of Babbage’s difference engine, a 19th-century early mechanical computer. This was an earlier version of the analytic engine that Ada Lovelace from our previous posts programmed. Later versions of these massive machines were used to compute, among other things, error-free navigation tables. There is thus a clear line between early computers and our earlier photos on astrolabe, Gutenberg, printing, and the conquistadors. Inexpensive navigational tables were a killer app for the early printing presses. It is not coincidental that the voyages of discovery happened soon after the invention of inexpensive printing. Another chapter in the of story of data. Comments may link to a version of this post that originally appeared on our Instagram account.

This is Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace, today known simply as Ada Lovelace (Wikipedia). This is an 1838 portrait of her by Margaret Sarah Carpenter. Ada is a famous steampunk for a couple of reasons: the sole legitimate child of the poet Lord Byron. Lovelace was also an avid mathematician. For her work on the difference engine, an early mechanical computer in the 19th century, she is also commonly credited as the first computer programmer. The computer programming language Ada is named after her. Post and some comments below may be synced from our original Instagram version. Instagram likes: (more…)… Read the restMars photo overload

This made the news yesterday, but pretty cool to include anyway since we had a whole Mars theme not long ago. The red planet normally has a red sky. But this is what sunset on Mars looks like. Just as dramatic as on Earth, but with different colors. Post and some comments below may be synced from our original Instagram version. Instagram likes: (more…)… Read the restRecent Posts
