Victorian computing

Victorian computing refers to early computer technologies and concepts developed during the Victorian era (mid-19th to early 20th century). It includes pioneering ideas like Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, often considered the conceptual foundation for modern computers. These early efforts aimed to automate calculations and process data systematically. While not electronic like today's machines, Victorian computing laid the groundwork for logical processing, mechanical computation, and the scientific approach to data management that would evolve into contemporary computer technology.
