The First Coder | Ada Lovelace and the Birth of the Algorithm | Turning Point Biography

Ada Lovelace is widely considered the first computer programmer in history — decades before the first machines existed.

In 1843, Ada Lovelace wrote something no one had ever seen before — a computer program.
Not on a machine. Not for a device that even existed.
But in her mind, she saw the future.

This Turning Point episode explores the moment Ada Lovelace transcended translation and imagined something revolutionary: a machine that could create music, process symbols, and follow logic — not just crunch numbers.
In the flicker of lamplight, she laid the groundwork for everything digital to come.

Dismissed in her lifetime, rediscovered a century later, Ada wasn’t just a brilliant mathematician —
she was the world’s first coder.

🧠 The prophet of the computer age
🖋 Ink-stained hands, binary mind
✨ A Victorian woman who imagined the future

This was the moment Ada Lovelace invented the algorithm —
not with circuits, but with vision.
