jun 14, 1951 - Univac

Description:

On June 14, 1951, the worlds first commercially produced electronic computer was made by the U.S Census Bureau. J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly developed and created the computer, and the reason why it was made was because it replaced the punch cards that were being used. The punch cards were a very slow, and hard process, and when this computer was made, it could read 7,200 decimal digits per second, not using binar. This made it by far the fastest business machine at the time.
