A visionary of the computer age, Ada Lovelace was a critical thinker who was truly ahead of her time. Whilst Charles Babbage is often referred to as 'The father of computing'  Lovelace played a key role in interpreting and publicising the analytical engine machine, prophesying that it could manipulate more than numbers, the foundations of modern computing.
