    Q19: this does not show the first programmable computer. That was Babbage's 'Difference Engine'. The picture is of the first electronic digital programmable computer.

    No, it was not Babbage's Difference Engine. That performed a limited (but astonishing for its day) set of tasks to generate mathematical tables. The 'programmable' one was the later Analytical Engine, with punch-card programming devised in part by Ada Lovelace, sometime referred to as the first computer programmer. But it was never actually built. So the claim on that picture is perfectly reasonable.
