Mechanical calculators had an analogous effect to the automatic loom, demoting calculation from a paradigm of intelligence to the antithesis of intelligence. If a machine could calculate, then something else — say, decision making or language — must be emblematic of human intelligence. Blaise Pascal, inventor of one of the first calculating machines, located the line between memory, which he said a machine could supply, and judgement, which he assigned to the human operator of his mechanical calculator. Even Leibniz, who designed another early mechanical calculator, seemed to attribute no restlessness or capacity for perception to his device.
