Daughter of the famous romantic poet Lord Byron, Adad Lovelace was a child prodigy. Brilliant at maths, she read numbers loke most people read words. In 1843 Ada came to the attention of Charles Babbage, a scientist and techno-whizz who had just built an amazing new "thinking machine." She and Mr. Babbage started working together--a perfect partnership which led to the most important invention of the modern world: the computer.
