The adding machine was invented by a nineteen-year-old French boy named Blaise Pascal way back in the year 1642. Called the pascaline, it was the first mechanical calculator that used gears. He invented it to help his father calculate taxes.

A different machine was invented by William Seward Burroughs in 1885.
