First Electronic Computers in the World

Taking calculations of 5,000 addition-subtraction, and 340 multiplication was considered to be a big
marvel in the past. For nearly 3 years of researching and manufacturing, the first electronic
computer, ENIAC I was first introduced at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of
Electrical Engineering in 1946. The research for ENIAC I, Electrical Numerical Integrator and
Calculator, was developed by John Mauchly along with John Presper Eckert and sponsored by the
American military. The ENIAC I, also seen as a "Giant Brain", contained inside 17,468 vacuum tubes,
70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, 1,500 relays, 6,000 manual switches and 5 million soldered
joints. Costing $480,000, the ENIAC I has its floor space of 1,800 square feet and the weight of 30
tons. Let's take a look at the most wonderful images of the first electronic computers in the world
including the ENIAC I.

This is the first Apple electronic computer to be introduced into the market

The complex workstation was developed by Norwegian American computer architect and hi-tech
entrepreneur, Doctor Gene Amdahl in 1975

Classic computer systems, whose dimensions are as large as those of a great room

This is the first computer system in Australia, developed by the Council of Scientific and Industrial
Research

This is one of the first computer systems in Russia, contributing into the technological development

On February 1946, the world's first computer ENIAC, developed by J. Presper Eckert and John
Mauchly was introduced

ENIAC I was the most advanced electric computer at that time, sponsored by the American military
with the price of $8 million in World War II
