While Keith is away, Charlie gets to play! Today’s Drive show started-off carbon-neutral although things didn’t quite work out… The hamsters are doing fine, by the way.
In the news was talk of the new Blade Runner film – spoiler-alert if you click the audio below!
Of more importance was the fact that today is the commemoration of Ada Lovelace whose work with Charles Babbage on the Analytical Engine led to the discovery that it could be used for more than just basic calculation… and often referred to as the first “computer programmer”. It’s an annual event is to raise awareness of women in STEM fields: Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
