i said who was of honor what was the maam i said and she said ada lovelace. i actually did know who ate a lovelace was but i couldn't remember what was it that she did that really helped defined the digital and computer revolution? .. her mother being a mathematician she helped create the intersection where the true creativity happens in the the digital age. >> there's a thesis you begin with that i want everyone to understand this is the passa. you wrote: the key to inknown vacation, crete tea geniuses, practical engineers partnered closely to turn concepts concepo contraptions and turning the invention into a practical product. you refer to the ecosystem, the genius and then the practical engineer and then the process of collaboration. babich and love done lace had their own form. >> he called for my muse. he shouldn't overstate her. she was in some ways not as great of a mathematician as she liked to believe but she could make a chart for them that become the first public program and when people -- that is ada lovelace day. so we should celebrate it. i say,

as ada lovelace said, you combine ideas from all over. so mockly gets back to the university of pennsylvania with all of these ideas, and he says but i'm going to need a team. so he hires -- not hires, he partners with ec earth, a great mechanic and engineer who's, i think, one of his grandfather or something had invented the turkish taffy machine, so he knows how to, you know, make machines that don't get all gummed up or whatever. there are all sorts of mechanics, there are people who do information theory helping him, and there are actually two sixth grade women mathematicians who are there to program it just in the tradition of ada lovelace. they were great women mathematicians because one of the things that surprised me -- grace hopper, for example, got her ph.d. in math from yale, and it stunned me to know that more women got ph.d.s in math in the 1930s than a generation later both in proportion and absolute numbers. it was before women were told that they didn't know how to do math, so they are at the forefront of this revolution.

i believe in that and at the heart of that vision of ada lovelace is if you are going to connect humans to technology you have to connect the humanities to the scientist. you have to feel comfortable with both. that is what google is all about and that is what justin hall creating blogging is all about. that is what f. williams when he does blogger in twitter but now medium. medium his new platform, that isn't just about computer platform. it's about connecting it and making more -- making a more intimate a more personal. allen kay scott that vision at xerox parc. make it personal and stand with that connection of the humanities and art technology. so maybe someday there will be a singularity in which the machines won't need us and we'll leave the spine. lord byron felt that and he was there with barry shellen when they were at frankenstein's monster which is the great sort of theme of that. but i have always believed that those who feel comfortable that the enter section of the humanities and the sciences are like steve jobs come the people who are going to be the most creative. >> we

does start with ada lovelace but she says one thing a machine will never be able to do. it is human said tuesday she to evade. she said that this is injection and 100 years later she is reading his notes and call those objections. . .

people like ada lovelace the believe the difference was to connect humanities and sciences that the imagination and creativity of us humans connected to the processing power of machines with each augment each other and that partnership, symbiosis' as she called it would always be stronger than machines alone. ..

wonderful letters in the great analysis book initiative as favorable to lovelace and babich with the most scientific is dorothy stein, a ada but if i could find it there is such a controversy by kind i'd like controversy. but there is some guy who has a ph.d. at harvard and said he too was a manic depressive with the most amazing delusions' and as mad as a hatter contributing more little man trouble. i don't thank you have to oversee her accomplishments in order to marvel at how wonderful that was she conceived the humanities to be connected to the machine. the interesting thing is that it is very collaborative than people work together than after words they find out who deserved the most credit. mckeon, jr. -- with the into the air with this i did more. i did more. you see this all the time so i tried judiciously to say by the way this revolution is so amazing there is enough credit to go around we should not fight over it. >> we have four stories. first with babich then the enigma and then through the apple one in thin their loss of talk about though women so now turn to codebreaking unit did something interesting which
