The Computer History Museum site was absolutely fascinating. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the museum as well as touring the virtual exhibits. I was particularly fascinated by the Babbage Engine. It is interesting to ponder where we would have been now, in the Tech Age, if Babbage had actually built his machine. I am also curious to learn more about the team who built the machine.
"Discover the wonder of a future already passed." (http://www.computerhistory.org/) I found this quote from the site really compelling. The team who built this antiquated machine must have felt like time travelers, in some way. Going back in time for plans for the future, already surpassed, really...what an incredible experience.
