John Graham-Cumming: 史上最伟大的机器

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.
