+    - Ada Lovelace was born on December 10th, 1815. Her father was the romantic poet Lord Byron and
+      her mother was Anne Isabella Milbanke.
+  - Original
+    - Ada Lovelace (1815--1852), the Victorian-era mathematician daughter of
+      the Romantic poet Lord Byron. Ada Lovelace had a privileged existence
+      but lived in a world where girls were limited in the subjects they were
+      taught, where young women were excluded from universities and where
+      gender stereotypes were rigidly enforced.
+
+- Oscar Video 9
+  - Modified
+    - Despite the wealth and privilege Ada's parents held, both did not fit the typical stereotypes
+      associated with aristocrats of the era and Ada, much like her parents, would not wholly
+      conform to societies' expectations either.
+  - Original
+    - However, while privileged and wealthy, Ada's parents did not fit the
+      stereotypes of the era, nor was her life to follow convention.
+
+- Oscar Video 10
+  - Modified
+    - Ada's mother, Anne Isabella, better known as Annabella, was intellectually gifted  and had
+      received an education that included science and mathematics which was abnormal for women at
+      the time.
+  - Original
+    - Ada's mother, Anne Isabella, known as Annabella, was intellectually
+      gifted and had received, unusually for a young woman of the time, an
+      education that included science and mathematics.
+
+- Oscar Video 11
+  - Modified
+    - As a consequence of her sharp mind paired with her family wealth, Annabella was a particularly
+      appealing target for the romantic attentions of the poet Lord Byron and the two would
+      eventually join in marriage.
+  - Original
+    - As a consequence of her sharp mind (paired, presumably with her family
+      wealth), Annabella was a particularly appealing target for the romantic
+      attentions of the poet Byron, who named her his “Princess of the
+      Parallelograms.”
+
+- Oscar Video 12
+  - Modified
+    - However, their marriage was not one of like minds or shared values, and whether intentional or
+      not, the union of Annabella and Byron resulted in the birth of Ada Lovelace.
+  - Original
+    - However, this was not a marriage of like minds or shared values, and
+      whether intended or unintended, a consequence of the union of Annabella
+      and Byron was the arrival of Ada Lovelace.
+
+- Oscar Video 4
+  - Modified
+    - Their marriage soon fell apart when Ada was but 5 weeks old. Following the separation, Ada's
+      mother took charge of raising her in an environment counter to the conventions of the day.
+  - Original
+    - Following the separation of her parents shortly after her birth, Ada was
+      raised by her mother in an environment that ran counter to the
+      conventions of the day.

+  - Modified
+    - To give an inkling of context, Ada Lovelace, as a woman in the 19th century, would've been
+      expected to undergo a conventional "feminine" education.
+  - Original
+    - Ada Lovelace, as a daughter of the 19th century, was certainly born into
+      privilege and a conventional “feminine” education would have been her
+      birthright.
+
+- Oscar Video 2
+  - Modified
+    - The aim of education for young female aristocrats in the 18th and 19th centuries was decidedly
+ /not/ to grant them well-rounded understandings; instead, education for young women was
+      intended to make them as marriageable as possible.
+  - Original
+    - The aim of education for young women born into the aristocracy in the
+      17th and 18th centuries was to make them as marriageable as possible.

+  - Modified
+    - Therefore, young ladies were typically schooled at home, by governesses or carefully selected
+      tutors, in subjects that were believed to make these young women more enticing to young men,
+      such as languages, literature, and music.

+    - Against tradition, Ada was schooled rigorously in mathematics and science, on the basis of her
+      mother's belief that this would spare her from the supposed madness of Ada's father.
+  - Original
+    - Against tradition, Ada was schooled rigorously in mathematics and
+      science, on the basis of her mother's belief that this would protect or
+      insulate her against the madness Annabella believed to possess Ada's
+      father, who she believed (perhaps correctly) to be a dissolute and
+      depraved individual as well as a romantic literary genius.
+
+- Oscar Video 6
+  - Modified
+    - Ada possessed great intellectual prowess and talent in language and numeracy. Unfortunately,
+      due to the time period, she was unable to attend the then /*male*/-dominated universities.
+  - Original
+    - Ada possessed natural talents for language and numeracy but as a young woman of her time, she
+      was excluded from attending university.
+
+- Oscar Video 7
+  - Modified
+    - Instead of university, Ada received further instruction from a variety of talented individuals
+      like Mary Somerville, Augustus de Morgan and, most notably, the inventor of the "Analytical
+      Engine" — Charles Babbage.
+  - Original
+    - Instead she received further education and tutoring from a variety of
+      individuals, such as Mary Somerville, Augustus de Morgan and, perhaps

+
+*** Analytical Engine while she was alive
+
+- Price Video 1
+  - Modified
+    - Charles Babbage never published a serious account of his "Analytical Engine" nor his
+      Difference Engine. Without Ada's notes, the machines almost certainly would have been lost to
+      time.
+  - Original
+    - Babbage never published serious account of Difference Engine or the
+      Analytical Engine
+
+- Price Video 2
+  - Modified
+    - Babbage gave his only lecture on the Analytical Engine in Turin in 1840 where a man named
+      Lugui Menabrea took notes. He would later publish his notes as a paper in French in 1842.
+  - Original
+    - Babbage talked about the Analytical Engine in Turin in 1840 and a
+      man named Luigi Menabrea took notes of his lecture
+
+    - Menabrea went on to publish the paper in French in 1842
+
+- Price Video 3
+
+  - Modified
+    - Ada found Menabrea's paper and chose to translate it to English and submit it to a British
+      publication in 1843. She added extensive notes of her own which ended up being longer than the
+      translation itself.
+  - Original
+    - Ada saw the paper and chose to translate it to English and submit it
+      to a British publication in 1843
+    - Ada took extensive notes of her own to add to the translation, the
+      notes ended up being longer than the translation itself
+
+- Price Video 4
+  - Modified
+    - Ada was friends with Babbage and she exchanged many letters with him to better
+      understand the Analytical Engine. She saw herself as merely an expositor of Babbbage's work,
+      not the discoverer.
+  - Original
+    - Ada exchanged /many/ letters with Babbage, she felt she was
+      explaining Babbage's work, not discovering something
+    - She only wanted to validate things with Babbage, got annoyed when
+      Babbage tried to make his own corrections to her manuscript
+
+- Price Video 5
+  - Modified
+    - Ada finished her notes and the translation in July 1843. Originally, she had no intention of
+      signing the publication, but was convinced to do so by her husband William King. She signed it
+      with her initials, "AAL".
+  - Original
+    - She originally wasn't going to sign the translation or notes, she
+      was convinced to do so by William King (her husband)
+    - Signed it "AAL"
+    - Saw herself primarily as an interpreter of Babbage's work
+    - Finished notes and translation at the end of July 1843
+
+- Price Video 6
+  - Modified
+    - After the publication, she wrote to Babbage with a request: join her in bringing the
+      Analytical Engine to fruition with her as a sort of CEO and him as the engineer. She had
+      become enraptured by the machine.
+  - Original
+    - Wrote to Babbage asking for him to join in bringing the Analytical
+      Engine to fruition with her as a sort of CEO after writing her
+      translation --- she seemingly became wholly enraptured by the
+      machine
+
+- Price Video 7
+  - Modified
+    - Unfortunately Ada would never see the Analytical Machine completed, her health began failing
+      her and no amount of treatment improved her condition. She later died of cancer on November
+      27th, 1852 only aged 36.
+  - Original
+    - Unfortunately for Ada her health began failing her and the
+      Analytical Engine had to be sidelined
+    - She died of cancer in November 27, 1852 at the age of 36
+
+*** Rediscovery of Her Work After Death
+
+- Price Video 8
+  - Modified
+    - Although the machine was never built, her work was not lost. In 1953 Bertram Bowden
+      rediscovered Ada's work. He was conducting research for a book when he came across Ada's
+      granddaughter who showed him some of Ada's papers.
+  - Original
+    - In 1953 Bertram Bowden rediscovered Ada's work
+    - Researching for his book /Faster than Thought/ about computer he
+      came across Ada's granddaughter who told him about Ada and showed
+      him some of Ada's papers
+
+- Price Video 9
+  - Modified
+    - In the course of computer research it was inevitable that difference engines became topics of
+      research and with it Babbage's Analytical Engine. Remember, Ada's translation and notes were
+      the primary source for the Analytical Engine.
+  - Original
+    - As more research was done difference engines and mechanical
+      computer's were researched and inevitably so too was Babbage's
+      Analytical Engine
+    - Remember, Babbage's Analytical Engine's primary source was Ada's
+      translation and notes she wrote about it
+
+*** Why is Ada important?
+
+- Price Video 10
+  - Modified
+    - Ada developed thoughts of universal computation around the Analytical Engine. She asked
+      Babbage many times how to achieve this and distilled his overly detailed answers into clear
+      explanations on the operation of the machine.
+  - Original
+    - Ada had some thoughts of what the Analytical Engine should be
+      capable of --- namely general computation
+    - She asked Babbage many times on how to achieve this general
+      computation and distilled his likely extremely detailed answers to a
+      clear explanation of the operation of the Analytical Machine
+
+- Price Video 11
+  - Modified
+    - Unlike Babbage, she actually published and simplified ideas about the Analytical Engine. If
+      you scream and nothing hears it, did you really scream? Same goes for publishing. If you don't
+      leave a record, did your invention actually exist?
+  - Original
+    - She actually published and simplified ideas about the Analytical
+      Engine --- something that Babbage never did
+    - If you scream and nothing hears it, did you really scream?
+
+- Price Videos 12
+
+- Modified
+  - Ada developed a more abstract understanding of the Analytical Machine than even Babbage, the
+    inventor, as a result of her publication on the machine in 1843.
+- Original
+  - Ada had a more developed abstract understanding of the Analytical
+    Machine than Babbage possessed due to her work in creating her notes
+    and translation about the Analytical Engine
+
+- Price Videos 13
+  - Modified
+    - Extending from her more developed understanding of the machine, she began to have the first
+      recorded ideas of universal computation which is the very foundation of modern computing.
+  - Original
+    - Due to this more developed abstract understanding, she had ideas of
+      general/universal computation which are the hallmark of modern day
+      computers
+
+- Price Video 14
+  - Modified
+    - Babbage, with his more limited insight, merely saw the Analytical Engine as a more efficient
+      way of producing mathematical tables and by accident just so happened to design a universal
+      computer.
+  - Original
+    - Babbage only saw the Analytical Engine as a more efficient way of producing mathematical
+      tables and just so happened to design a universal computer
+
+- Price Video 15
+  - Modified
+    - When writing about the Analytical Engine, Ada was trying to explain it as clearly as possible
+      which led to her to a more abstract approach. This abstraction led her to ideas of universal
+      computation.
+  - Original
+    - When writing about the Analytical Engine, Ada was trying to explain
+      it as clearly as possible
+    - To do this she had to look at the machine in a more abstract sense
+      and this resulted in her seeing the machine as a gateway to
+      universal computation
+
+- Price Video 16
+  - NOTE: This was cut, redundant
+  - Original
+    - She was seemingly the first recorded person to have ideas of
+      universal computation in regards to machines
+
+- Price Video 17
+  - NOTE: This was cut, redundant
+  - Original
+    - This is the most important element, the entirety of the modern world
+      are built on the back of universal computation
+
+*** Is it possible Ada could have discovered modern computing had her health not failed?
+
+- Price Video 21
+
+  - Modified
+    - It's not too far-fetched that if Ada had not died so early, she likely would have created the
+      Analytical Engine with Babbage achieving universal computation.
+  - Original
+    - It's not far-fetched to say that if Ada had not died so early of
+      cancer she likely would have played a major role in a mechanical
+      machine capable of universal computation
+
+- Price Video 18
+
+  - Modified
+    - Furthermore, it's also not a stretch that she might then go on to create a second machine that
+      would be electromechanical in nature, bringing it a step closer to modern computers.
+  - Original
+    - After creating the machine it's not a stretch at all that she might
+      then create a new machine (or perhaps even the first machine) as an
+      electromechanical device and thus being much closer to modern
+      computers
+
+- Price Video 20
+  - Modified
+    - She was a friend of Charles Wheatstone, who was deeply involved with the creation of the
+      electric telegraph. He may have been able to point her towards an electromechanical design.
+  - Original
+    - She and had a friend working with electronic communications, Charles
+      Wheatstone who was involved with the creation of the electric
+      telegraph
+
+- Price Video 19
+  - Modified
+    - The only hold up is binary. Binary began to appear in Ada's time, but it was unknown for the
+      most part. However, Leibniz had already done work on binary arithmetic a century prior so the
+      idea wasn't completely novel.
+  - Original
+    - Ideas around Binary were beginning to show up around Ada's time, but
+      it wasn't well known
