The Lincoln-born father of the digital age

The digital capabilities of computers and smartphones would never have been possible if not for the genius innovation of one of Lincoln’s finest ever minds – George Boole.He never went to university and was largely self-taught in the field of mathematics, but that never held him back as he is now remembered as one of history’s most influential figures.

George Boole was born at 34 Silver Street in Lincoln back in November 1815. The property no longer exists but was located near what is now best recognised as the former Circle nightclub. By the time he had turned 20, George Boole had opened his own school in Lincoln on Free School Lane in 1834, close to the Lincoln Mechanics Institute where he lectured in the old Greyfriars Grammar School.

Claude Shannon, an electronics engineer from America, noticed that Boole’s logic could be applied in producing electrical circuits – which began the digital revolution once and for all.
