This lecture tells the story of Ada Lovelace, a British scientist born in 1815, who received a classical scientific education and was the first programmer in the world. Despite living in a supposedly advanced society, she faced challenges due to her gender, yet she saw the great potential of computers and their impact on society, as she translated and added notes to articles on the analytical engine, essentially describing computer programming.
