Researchers in the twentieth century found that it was difficult to build an electrical element for representing a decimal digit (zero through nine) but that it was much easier to build reliable elec tronics for representing binary digits (ones and zeros) . Boole's logic was a perfect match for such a system. It completely described the operations needed for implementing and controlling two valued circuit elements. The match also helped spawn one of the most significant developments of the twentieth century-the digital computer.
It is remarkable that this description of the Analytical Engine corresponds so closely to the organization of present-day computer systems. Babbage truly was a hundred years ahead of his time in proposing this machine ! Unfortunately, Babbage never completed the Analytical Engine. The technology of the time was inadequate for producing the necessary me chanical components to the required precision. Also, there was no real need for such a powerful machine-the calculating devices already avail able were more than capable of meeting the com puting needs of the mid- to late 1 8 00s.
