Report
1. Describe the influence and / or impact of Ada Lovelace. In 1999, the idea that the economy of the whole world would come to a crashing halt was probably the most recent evidential idea of how essential computers are to our everyday lives. Y2k referred to the potential computer error related to the formatting and storage of calendar data for dates in and after 2000.Many programs represented four-digit years with only the final two digits, making the year 2000 indistinguishable from 1900. Computer systems' inability to distinguish dates correctly had the potential to bring down worldwide infrastructures for industries ranging from banking to air travel. Computers run the lives of many. Cell phone technology has developed into tiny handheld computers that run our lives. Many say these technological advancements can be directly linked to 1842 when Ada Lovelace first published her notes on Charles Babbage's "analytical machine." These notes are the first evidence of a computer program. Ada Lovelace was born in 1815. Though she was raised by her mother, Lady Byron, she was well educated. Her mother had insisted that she be well-educated in mathematics. In 1833, Ada Lovelace was introduced to Charles Babbage. In June of that same year, Ada was introduced to Babbage's first invention, the "thinking machine." This machine, in essence, was an early mechanical computer. In 1842, Ada was asked to translate a scientific article by Luigi Federico Menabrea. Though this translation was easy, Ada was approached to write a paper on the same topic. Based on her note, her article was twice as long and more in-depth than Menabrea's. This was the publication in which she introduced algorithms to program machines. Through today's technology, we can still see her impact on computer science. A computer program that is still used today by companies around the world is named after her. As crucial
and popular as Thomas Edison is to electricity, Ada Lovelace should be known for computer science. References: Garvin, Karen, "Chapter 12 – Ada Lovelace," Rebus Community. Accessed November 3, 2022. https://learn.umgc.edu/d2l/le/content/716681/viewConte nt/26919295/View
