Hầu hết mọi người nghĩ về máy tính là phát minh rất hiện đại, sản phẩm của thời đại (17) công nghệ mới của chúng ta. Nhưng trên thực tế, ý tưởng về một chiếc máy tính đã được một người đàn ông tên là Charles Babbage thực hiện hơn hai thế kỷ trước. Babbage sinh năm 1791 và lớn lên trở thành một nhà toán học lỗi lạc. Ông đã vạch ra kế hoạch cho một số máy tính toán (18) mà ông gọi là "động cơ". Mặc dù thực tế là ông ấy (19) đã bắt đầu xây dựng một số trong số này, nhưng anh ấy chưa bao giờ hoàn thành bất kỳ cái nào trong số chúng. Trong nhiều năm, mọi người đã tranh cãi (20) liệu máy móc của ông có bao giờ hoạt động được hay không. Tuy nhiên, gần đây, Bảo tàng Khoa học ở London đã hoàn thành việc chế tạo một động cơ dựa trên một trong những thiết kế của Babbage. (21) Phải mất sáu năm để hoàn thành và hơn bốn nghìn bộ phận đã được chế tạo đặc biệt. Cho dù nó hoạt động hay không, chiếc máy sẽ được trưng bày tại một cuộc triển lãm đặc biệt ở Bảo tàng Khoa học (22) để nhắc nhở mọi người về công việc của Babbage.
