RE: The Unsung Mother of all Computer Nerds: Ada Lovelace

in #computer8 years ago

This is such a cool story. it is so sad that modern medicine killed her. I can only imagine where computer technology would be today had she lived another decade. This article reminds me of a talk that I heard TD Jakes give. He was referencing an article he read and he said everything that was required to build the first working airplane already existed on the planet at the time of Christ. The only thing that was missing was the thinking. She had the thinking necessary to make computers or reality sooner. Very inspiring post.

So true @dreamingirwin ...the least thing we can do to her is to pass her stories to the upcoming generations with all the respect that she deserves!
