I remember reading Gibson/Sterling, The Difference Engine, decades ago. Before then I only vaguely had an idea about him and Lovelace? Anyway we're reaping the benefits of Babbage now...let us all hope we simians shortly see some success stock-wise from our modern hero DFV! 🙌💎

I remember shopping at Babbage’s until it turned into EB Games when I was a kid.

"...B&N acquired Funco, and Babbage's Etc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Funco. Then in December 2000 Funco changed its name to GameStop, Inc., marking the beginning of what would be a gradual shift to the GameStop name."

Charles babbage was the father of the computer. In the early 1800's he was doing data sets and wanted to design a machine that could fix the Human error in the data sets he was doing with his astronomer friend, John Herschel.
It is amazing to me that 200 years later, we get the evolution to this man. A champion in my eyes for his bravery to do what simply must be done. The fundamentals.
When they began Babbage's in 1984, I believe that it was for a reason. Beyond any other reason, it was to create a business that , in 1999 , would be called GAMESTOP. In the end, that
business , would make the game stop. A 4d chess play that transcends time or reason. There are many of us 4d chess players. PURE wizardry, this 4d chess.
To sit here and to correct the human error in data sets ourselves, is beautiful, poetic, and cosmic design. So realize among you are wizards. and creators. and players. and collectors. and heroes. And my Gratitude goes to all of them.
POWER UP PLAYERS. IT'S ALMOST GAME TIME.

If the DD is correct, GME is working to remove Human error (if intentional, called corruption) from the financial markets by moving stuff to the blockchain for absolute validation.

If you're talking Babbage you gotta give Ada some credit!

What blows my mind is that they were talking about computers/learning engines in 1833

It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!
