Hi. I’m Fion, and I’m an Intern at Digital Way Academy. I’m actually a graduate in Accounting, and had never once considered myself as a ‘tech-savvy’ kinda gal. But follow me on a journey to discover more on the history of technology, the internet, video games and all things digital!
Ada Lovelace came to be known as the First ‘Computer Programmer’(despite literally living during a century before the invention of Computers). She was introduced to Charles Babbage, also known as The Father of the Computer and became close colleagues.
Ada became interested in one of Charles’s designs, also known
as the Analytical Engine. And in 1843, Babbage asked Lovelace to translate a description of his engine, which was Italian, and the rest was history.
What she had done was beyond what she was asked to. She made her own notes and realised that the existing computation was more than meets the eye. She basically wrote a program to calculate complicated numbers, also known as the Bernoulli numbers.
