Question

Did you know? Charles Babbage designed the "Analytical Engine" in the 1830s — a mechanical computer never fully built in his lifetime. Ada Lovelace wrote in 1843 the first algorithm that would run on it (the Bernoulli numbers program). Their design was only fully built in 1991 (160 years later) by the Science Museum in London — and it worked.
