a Man or a Woman?

Nope :) That was a woman. Her name is Ada Lovelace. She was an aristocrat, a mother of three children and an English mathematician. In 1842-1843 Ada was translating a Charles Babbage (inventor of the first computer machine) lecture. The translation was accompanied by Ada's notes and in total exceeded the notes of the lecture several times. One of Ada's comments turned out to be a description of the algorithm for computation the Bernoulli number by the Babbage computing machine. Experts consider this algorithm to be the first computer program. Ada Lovelace is considered the first programmer in history.

Nope:) That was a woman. Her name is Hedy Lamarr. She wasn't only a famous actress, but also became a great inventor. In 1942, together with composer George Anteyle, she patented a system that allows torpedoes to be controlled remotely. Thanks to the developed secret communication systems, the torpedo couldn't be intercepted or blacked out. The patent has become the basis for communication with the extended-spectrum that is used today everywhere, from mobile phones to Wi-Fi.

You're right! It was an American scientist at Stanford University Douglas Engelbart. He invented a device with a pair of small spinning disks that can be used to freely move the cursor around the screen. Due to the fact that the cable exited from the back of the device, it was later named the "mouse".

You are right! One of our favourite key combinations was invented by an American computer scientist Larry Tesler. Tesler worked for Apple Computer, Amazon.com, and Yahoo !. He studied computer science at Stanford University in 1960. He died in February 2020.

Yep:) The programmer's name is Brendan Eich. JavaScript first appeared in 1995 and makes web pages more interactive.

You are wrong. In 1986, the self-taught programmer Judy Malloy created the first hypertext novel, Uncle Roger. While reading it, the reader could click and move between fragments in any order. This influenced the history and computer technology development.

Great:) That was Scott Elliot Fahlman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Falman was the first to suggest using a sequence of characters :-) as an emoticon. That was in 1982.

Nope:) In the middle of the 20th century, Grace Hopper developed the first compiler for a programming language. This event's become revolutionary in the history of technology development. She's also created one of the first high-level programming languages, COBOL. It is also believed that Grace Hopper popularized the term "debugging" to eliminate computer malfunctions.
