While searching for interesting information about computers, as usual on Thursday, I came across a person of a French weaver, a constructor of weaving machines, and later turned out to be a revolutionary inventor. Joseph-Marie Jacquard constructed a net binding machine. However, his greatest achievement was the improvement of the loom in 1805, where he automatically controlled the layout of the thread and thread warp by writing code on the peripheral tape. These cards were the first in history to be controlled by the machine through a program. His invention was later used for catarines, music boxes and was the inspiration for the basics of building the computer by Babbage and Hollerith.
