パワーハウスミュージアムさんのインスタグラム写真 - (パワーハウスミュージアムInstagram)「More than 150 years ago, English mathematician, inventor, philosopher and reformer Charles Babbage designed a general-purpose mechanical calculating machine that anticipated the principles and structure of the modern computer. Babbage started work on his Difference Engine No 1, a fully automatic machine that calculated and printed the tables used in the burgeoning fields of science, navigation and business, in 1823. His aim was to relieve people of 'routine mental labour' and eliminate human error in calculations with a perfect machine. Babbage worked on the Difference Engine No 1 for 11 years but was never completed. Visit Difference Engine No 1 and learn more about Babbage's inventions at Atmospheric Memory.
