What are you know about your computer?

Did you know the name of first computer of the world?

The name of the first computer in the world is knowing as "ENIAC".
"ENIAC" means Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer.It was the amongst the earliest electronic general-purpose computers made. It was Turing-complete, digital, and could solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming.

Although ENIAC was designed and primarily used to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory.

ENIAC was formally dedicated at the University of Pennsylvania on February 15, 1946. It had a speed one thousand (103) times faster than that of electro-mechanical machines. This computational power, coupled with general-purpose programmability, excited scientists and industrialists alike. This combination of speed and programmability allowed for thousands more calculations for problems, as ENIAC calculated such as took a human 20 hours in 30 seconds (a 2400x increase in speed).

Finally, it was the greatest invension by modern science. It was took a few rooms to operate. But now-a days we can use computer in a table, or put it in our bags ( Laptop).  But resently we have been using our daily needs by a small powerfull smartphone. It's happen not a single day.
