Technology today is built around one major resource, that resource being the computer. The computer is the one piece of technology that is able to not only store much information, but it also is able to run other forms of technology off of it. This very important piece of technology that is today apart of our: education system, banking, super markets and so on, was thought of almost 100 years prior to its creation. Charles Babbage was the man who invented the computer; but it was his good friend Ada Lovelace that was able to not only understand and communicate his invention to the public, but the one who was responsible for the creation of scientific computing on top of many other mathematical inventions that made her a woman before her time.
