This is a dress worn by English mathematician Ada Lovelace. Lovelace is notable for her works on the early computers, including Babbage's Analytical Engine. This dress, a simple, white, 19th century dress, has absorbed her talent of computers and it allows the user to be able to perfectly use any computer. The downside is that may cause insanity.
Origin[]
Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (10 December 1815 – 27 November 1852), born Augusta Ada Byron and now commonly known as Ada Lovelace, was an English mathematician and writer chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. Her notes on the engine include what is recognized as the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine. Because of this, she is often considered the world's first computer programmer.
Collection[]
At the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley, a news report came out that the museum aquired a dress worn by Ada Lovelace. Fearing that an important figure may have created an artifact, Agent Brady was sent to California to snag Lovelace's Dress.
