Ilmu komputer dimulai pada tahun 30-an -- 1830-an, John Graham Cumming menceritakan kisah "mesin analitis"  mekanis bertenaga uap milik Charles Babbage dan bagaimana Ada Lovelace, seorang matematikawan dan putri dari Lord Byron, melihat melampaui kemampuan komputasi sederhana untuk membayangkan masa depan dari komputer.

John Graham-Cumming: Mesin paling hebat yang belum pernah ada

Long before silicon chips, a Victorian-era machine called the analytical engine promised true computation. Designed by Charles Babbage and envisioned more fully by Ada Lovelace, it used thousands of metal cogs—some as big as a steam locomotive—to perform calculations and even make decisions. Lovelace foresaw that numbers could represent everything from music to graphics, forever changing what a computer could be. Today, efforts are underway to finally build this mechanical marvel, revealing the deep roots of the digital world.
