ENIAC! ONE OF THE FIRST COMPUTER EVER MADE.

Nowadays, we are bless with sophisticated technology and rapid development use of information systems. But, we as generation Y users actually never bother to think what was the fist computer looks like..? So I was motivated to do searching in world wide web and find out that one of the pioneer of computer was ENIAC.

Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC) was the first electronic general purpose computer. It was Turing-complete, digital and capable of being reprogrammed to solve large numerical problems. The ENIAC was the first electronic computer used for general purposes, such as solving numerical problems. It was invented by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania in an effort to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Armys Ballistic Research Laboratory.


Eniac is a huge computer which need the whole room to fill in. 
Well, actually these computer was only for the military purpose. In addition, I found out that it was one use to calculate the feasibility of the hydrogen bomb.

In my opinion, we must be grateful for the scholars and scientists who have developed computer technology which we noe use for everyday use and facilitate the work of our everyday. :)
