THEY TOLD ME

They told me Pan was dead, but I
Oft marvelled who it was that sang
Down the green valleys languidly
Where the grey elder-thickets hang.

Sometimes I thought it was a bird
My soul had charged with sorcery ;
Sometimes it seemed my own heart heard
Inland the sorrow of the sea.

But even where the primrose sets
The seal of her pale loveliness,
I found amid the violets
Tears of an antique bitterness.

It’s weird to think about the fact that two “fathers” of the computer were working on opposite sides in WW2 – Konrad Zuse for Nazi Germany, and Alan Turing for the UK. 

However, neither of those invented the very first computer – that would have been Charles Babbage, another “father” of the computer, who invented the Analytical Engine in 1837. It would have been a mechanical computer, with processor and memory made from gears and cams, but unfortunately, he went bankrupt before he could finish it, since the parts were too expensive back then. And the computer also had a “mother” back then – Lady Ada Lovelace, who started to write software for a machine that was never completed.
