  • First digital computer

    The first digital computer was invented. This will allow more data to be released and read easily. Massive machine was the world's first large-scale electronic general-purpose digital computer. It was made by John Vincent Atanasoff (who was also a physicist). While the project was resolved in the 1930s (1937) it was actually introduced to the world in 1946. The first digital computer was Turing-complete, and able to solve large class of numerical problems.

    Birth of the Personal Computer
    "KENBAK-1" (1971) was the first computer that was used for personal use. But the term "personal computer" was introduced when Ed Roberts invented the "Altair 8800" in 1975. Both computers sold for the price of $750 (which is ridiculous if we think about the quality of these PC's compared to what we got now). Ed Roberts is most often known as "the father of the personal computer".
