Se trata de la fotografía de una carta de los archivos reales que data de 1843 y escribió Charles Babbage, considerado como un pionero de la informática moderna, a su tatarabuelo.

Today, as I visit the Science Museum I was interested to discover a letter from the Royal Archives, written in 1843 to my great-great-grandfather Prince Albert. Charles Babbage, credited as the world’s first computer pioneer, designed the “Difference Engine”, of which Prince Albert had the opportunity to see a prototype in July 1843. In the letter, Babbage told Queen Victoria and Prince Albert about his invention the “Analytical Engine” upon which the first computer programmes were created by Ada Lovelace, a daughter of Lord Byron. Today, I had the pleasure of learning about children’s computer coding initiatives and it seems fitting to me that I publish this Instagram post, at the Science Museum which has long championed technology, innovation and inspired the next generation of inventors.

The Queen posting her first ever Instagram pic…. at the age of 92. Four years ago, again at the Science Museum, she was supposed to have sent her first tweet. Except it was a palace flunky instead. This time it was definitely her! pic.twitter.com/Lj0R8jjNcQ
