SUMMARY:NSITP - The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace & Babbage
DESCRIPTION:Folks\, \nThis looks to be a good and apt enthusiastic talk by one of our neighboring groups: \nThe Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace & Babbage \nOne hundred years before the first computers were built out of wires and transistors\, the Victorian polymath Charles Babbage designed a gigantic steam-powered\, punchcard-programmed\, cogwheel computer\, the Analytical Engine.  His friend Ada\, Countess of Lovelace\, daughter of Lord Byron\, completed some of the first programs for the machine\, and theorised that one day it could be used for the manipulation of any kind of information. Unfortunately Ada died young and Babbage never built his Engine\, leaving their story as one of the greatest what-ifs in the history of science. \nSydney Padua’s cult webcomic The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage\, now a bestselling graphic novel\, combines extensive research with alternate-universe comic-book escapes\, where the mechanical computer is finally completed… \n  \nDaryl\, the race is on! 😉 \n  \nNote: This talk is by the Nottingham Skeptics at their venue. Please see their site for details.
