THE POWER OF THREE – THE STORY OF THOMAS FOWLER By Pamela Vass
Talk | Seated
PAMELA VASS: I am an author offering talks on the West Country stories that have inspired my writing, many where fact has definitely been stranger than fiction! My audiences include historical and scientific societies, literary festivals, Women’s Institutes, U3A’s, libraries, church and social groups, museums and Rotary.
TALK: One of the original pioneers of the computer was born over 200 years ago in Great Torrington, Devon. His name was Thomas Fowler. This talk reveals the pride and passion of a charismatic self-taught inventor who was determined to succeed despite his humble origins and unorthodox path to mathematical brilliance. It is a story of stunning resilience and ingenuity in the face of professional prejudice, betrayal and heart-breaking twists of fate. It is a story of an invention destined to re-write the history of computing.
