"Im Jahr 1822 entwirft der britische Mathematiker #CharlesBabbage den Plan für eine dampfbetriebene #Rechenmaschine. Die „#DifferenceEngine“ ist ihrer Zeit weit voraus – und wäre der erste #Computer der Welt gewesen."

Tim Robinson has now completed the review of Babbage's notes and drawings and will be releasing details incrementally over the next year.
Coincidently, I've just started reading "The Difference Engine" by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling this week!

Now that my following has surged into double digits, a moment of sharing and peeps-seeking. I've put up here:

some notes and mini-working-papers from a project on body, nation, race, and economy in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most interested in hearing from others working in these areas.

For him industrial revolution is about making precise copies of goods of all kinds. Machines do things humans can't. Theorizes mental labor, language. Joseph Bizup's 2003 _Manufacturing Culture_ great on this.

Charles Babbage, who is credited with inventing the first automatic digital computer, was born this day in 1791. He first had the idea of creating a calculator to compute mathematical calculations about 1813 and created a small calculator with an 8-decimal capacity. In 1823, he was given government support to create a more advanced Difference Engine with a 20-decimal capacity.
