The main factors behind this transformation are primarily religious in nature, a claim supported by Angus A. Somerville and R.

The first computer program was being designed by a woman titled Lovelace in the early 1800’s. The life and legacy of Ada Lovelace play an important role in the development of computer science, however she remains highly unrecognized. Coming from a separated home, Lovelace’s early tutoring, passion for mathematics, aiding of Charles Babbage in creating the first early computer program, and divided ideals gave her a very interesting story and major role in history. Lovelace’s parents are equally…
