Difference Engine
This is the machine that Charles Babbage designed, but unfortunately, it was never truly and fully created. Charles Babbage was given 17,000 pounds, which in those times was considered a HUGE amount of money, but in the end, Babbage had absolutely no outcome, just the same thing that he had the beginning. The differnece engine was supposed to be a human programmable machine, that could do calculations that would be too advance for those human computers to do. -
