The first "computer program" was designed by a famous poet's daughter in 1843.
Ada Byron Lovelace, daughter of famous poet Lord Byron, published a paper in 1843 that predicted the
development of computer software, artificial intelligence, and computer music. In 1834, Ada heard of
Babbage's ideas for a new calculating engine - the Analytical Engine. After translating an Italian's
summary of the engine, Babbage suggested to Ada that she add her own notes. Her notes turned out to be
three times as long as the original article! Ada suggested to Babbage a plan for calculating Bernoulli
numbers with the Analytical Engine. This plan is now regarded as the first "computer program."
