In the early 20th century, Henry Ford, the king of cars, decided that his next big venture would be... a calculator.
He built a massive factory in Detroit, filled with rows of calculators that could add, subtract, multiply, and divide with the speed of his assembly line.
The calculators were a huge success, but not just for their math abilities. People loved how they looked, all shiny and boxy, like a sleek new car.
Little did they know, this was just the beginning of the computing revolution.
