Also, fun fact: Back in the 50s, a "computer" was a job you could apply for. They'd stick a bunch of "computers" in a room and give them instructions on what to compute. They would have someone in the front of the room make sure that everyone was coordinated and synchronized.

The programs would tell each computer what she was supposed to do.

It's how we built the first nuclear bombs. Figuring out how much charge to place where so you could get the right density of nuclear material to actually ignite required a ton of calculations.
