First Computer The first electronic computer, ENIAC, was built in 1945. It was very big and used thousands of vacuum tubes.

The original ENIAC had no memory as we think of memory. [Burks] describes that some internal memory resides in dual triodes operating as a flip-flop (also known as an Eccles-Jordan circuit).

Kathy Kleiman, the author of Proving Ground and an expert on internet governance at American University College of Law, talked about the programming of ENIAC.

The ENIAC, or Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, could churn 5,000 addition problems in one second, far faster than any device yet invented.

ENIAC proved that a general-purpose electronic computer was both possible and valuable. After the War, and largely because of ENIAC, the field of digital computers was open. ENIAC was a clear, public ...
