Narrator: A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHARLES BABBAGE AND HIS WONDERFUL CALCULATING ENGINES COMICS
T-Rex: Charles Babbage spent a lot of his time working on mechanical calculating engines!
T-Rex: These were machines that could add and subtract, and later multiply and divide (through repeated addition and subtraction), forecasting in many ways the design of modern-day computers! T-Rex: Unfortunately the machines, with thousands of tiny gears and cogs, were too complex, beyond his means to fully manufacture at the time (early 1800s).
T-Rex: While some see Babbage as the father of modern computers, he had little actual influence! Utahraptor: Yes, quite right!
Utahraptor: This is because many of the innovations in his Analytical Engine, such as conditional branching and a separation of processing and memory, were left to be re-discovered by a new generation of pioneers! T-Rex: Indeed!
T-Rex: This concludes the brief history of Charles Babbage and his wonderful calculating engines!
What are the haps my friends
it is okay to buy this, it is okay to love this
This comic is from July 5th, 2004! I didn't write things down here back then. Or maybe I did, and they are now LOST FOREVER. But here is a random merchandise image; perhaps you are... tantalized?
