All computation done by by machines and gears
Blaise Pascal (1642)
Designed first gear based calculator system
Joseph Jacquard (1801)
Automated loom that used wood punch cards
Charles Babbage (1833)
For fun he would try to spot errors in mathematical tables
Designed analytical, difference engines (machines)
Included input and output devices, processor and storage
Could NOT be built because of level of precision needed
His ideas laid foundations for today's computers (Input - Process - Output)
Electricity availability becoming widespread
Ada Byron Lovelace
First computer programmer
