In 1820, Joseph-Marie Jacquard, a textile
manufacturer in France, produced the loom. This
device allowed the repetition of a series of steps in
the weaving of special fabrics. This resulted in a

traditional employment and livelihood were being
threatened. They committed acts of sabotage to
discourage Jacquard from further use of the new
technology. This is the first recorded cyber crime!
