Regarded by many as the world's first computer programmer, Ada Lovelace was also the first to envision a world where computers could be used for more than just number crunching. She saw in them the potential to not just solve problems, but create new ideas and even produce music and poetry as we do with computers today.

Her unique way of thinking marked a turning point for technology and her contributions are remembered every year on October 13th (Ada Lovelace Day).
