12 mayo 1941 año - First Practical Computer

Descripción:

Since around the turn of the 20th Century, certain engineers had managed to build mechanical computing machines that could calculate mathematical problems many times faster than a human could.

As technology developed, computing machines could be created using electrical circuits and be asked to perform a number of different tasks by giving it math-based instructions.

Eventually, the world's first programmable, fully automatic digital computer was invented by German engineer Konrad Zuse in May 1941. This Z3 computer filled an entire room, but over the following decades, computers would be developed further, made smaller and more efficient, and used in many aspects of every-day life.
