NO reservations required. ABSTRACT In 1843, Ada Byron Lovelace moved beyond her illustrious predecessors Leibnitz and Pascal, and even her brilliant contemporary, Charles Babbage, to describe universal computing much as we understand it today. World authority on early computing devices, Doron Swade of the London Science Museum states in "To Dream Tomorrow": "Ada saw something that Babbage in some sense failed to see. In Babbage's world his engines were bound by number. What Ada Lovelace saw was that numbers could represent entities other than quantity." With the aid of Ada's descendant, the Earl of Lytton, the directors have done a fresh and comprehensive reading of Lovelace and Babbage material at Oxford's Bodleian Library, the Woking History Center, the British Library and in private collections. The film was shot at some of the most dazzlingly beautiful locations in England.
