15 févr. 1946 - ENIAC is invented

Description:

The Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (Aka ENIAC,) is completed and used to do complex military calculations much quicker than ever before.
REASONS WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT:
1) ENIAC is one of the first examples of a digital computer, using vacuum tubes and punch cards to calculate automatically
2) It is said that ENIAC may very well have run more calculations then mankind had done in all the time before it was created
3) It is a masterwork of engineering, as even with 18,000 vacuum tubes that could all malfunction, it managed to work until roughly 9 years later due to a lightning strike
