The Jacquard Loom is a remarkable machine considering it was invented in 1801. It is crazy how Joseph Marie Jacquard Loom invented a machine that used mainly holey cards and stings to create elaborate textile patterns. These fabric pieces were later used to clothe the people of France. Whether it was used to make a dress, pants, or in some cases even knickers. It is also amazing how a machine that makes simple fabrics was a model to the building and making of the complex computer.
