Women Invented Binary Code

from The Culture of Cloth · host Veronica Tucker

Women invented binary code. They ran it by hand across thousands of threads, encoded it into the punched cards that built the first computer and knitted it through enemy checkpoints during wartime. We didn't call it code because we didn't call anything women did by its right name. This is the story of fabric as information technology and the consistent pattern of who builds the foundation and whose name ends up on it.Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veronicatuckerthelabel/
