From the ABC, ENIAC and now the TITAN supercomputer, we have power we could only dream of before.

The first electronic computer; the ENIAC, was born of the need to calculate ballistics tables for a sideways firing from air-planes. This necessitated the construction of the massive computer to hold vacuum tubes pulsating at 100,000 beats per second. The computational speed was estimated to be at 1,000 multiplications per second, this would be able … Read more

How the personal computer has evolved through the ages. How things have changed since the early days.

The personal computer has changed so much since the early days of the computer. The earliest true computer, the ENIAC was a massive machine that took up a warehouse. This massive machine used vacuum tubes to perform calculations instead of the modern silicon chips that the computers of today use. There were many computers and … Read more

When will ignorance end? Is this the future of the world with our education system?

This person really believes that the Commodore 64 is the oldest computer that ever existed and does not know about the Collossus; and the ENIAC. They had workable computers in the 1950`s; these were able to perform quite useful calculations. The computer that was placed in the Voyager 1 probe in the 1970s used magnetic … Read more
