As far back as 2500 BC the Chinese played  kicking game called "tsu chu". Similar games were played by the Romans and North American Indians. In England in medieval times "mob football" was very popular. In 1583, Phillip Stubbs said about players: "Sometimes their necks are broken, sometimes their backs, sometimes their legs, sometimes their arms" By the 19th century, with the help of English public schools, the game had become less violent. Each school had different rules for playing the game. On the playing fields of Eton the ball was kicked high and long. At Rugby School the boys caught and ran with ball. Problems arose when boys from the different schools went to the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge and wanted to continue playing. This is from the description of a match played in Cambridge in 1848: "The result was chaos, as every man played the rules he was accustomed to at his school" It became common to play half a match ...

"The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluable by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic" Charles Darwin His book, "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection", published in 1859 has been called "the book that shook the world". Today most scientists and ordinary people, with the exception of creationists, accept the theories included in this book. Darwin believed that all species (plants, animals and human beings) weren't created individually but have evolved over millions of years through a process of natural selection. In his opinion the species that could adapt best than others were those that survived. These ideas contradicted religious beliefs. People thought that God created Adam and Eve and all the animals. It was also believed that the Earth was just 4,000 years old. Others said: "Mankind is not descended from monkeys. There is no point in a world without God"

Hi! Today I'd like to tell you something about Charles Babbage, a person who originated the concept of a digital programmable computer. Charles Babbage was born on 26 December 1791. He was a scientist and an engineer. He had the idea of the first programmable computer. He wanted to build a machine that could do calculations without making the mistakes that human "computers" made. He designed a machine called The Difference Engine, and the British Government provided funds. The machine was never completed because Babbage ran out of money. Charles Babbage lived and worked for over 40 years in Marylebone, where he died, at the age of 79, of renal inadequacy on 18 October 1871. He was buried in London's  Kensal Green Cemetery . In 1991, a team of engineers from the Science Museum in London built one of Babbage's machines, using his original designs, and it worked perfectly. If you want to know more about Charles Babbage and his Difference Engine, I reco...
