Pascaline

A calculating machine developed in 1642 by French mathematician Blaise Pascal. It could only add and subtract, but gained attention because 50 units were placed in prominent locations throughout Europe. Accountants expressed grave concern that they might be replaced by technology!

The Pascaline

We worried three centuries ago about losing our jobs. We worry today about losing jobs. No matter how much technology we develop on this planet, we still worry! (Image courtesy of The Computer History Museum, www.computerhistory.org)
