American Landmark Event: First General-Purpose Electronic Digital Computer
The ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic digital computer, was publicly unveiled 80 years ago tomorrow, on February 14, 1946, at the University of Pennsylvania. Earlier machines like the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) (1939-1942) and Colossus Mark 1 (Feb 1944) were also significant electronic digital devices, but ENIAC was the first widely recognized, programmable, general-purpose machine.
Commemorating this significant event in American folklore, WaveRocket is proud to offer the Republicman Tech Bro T-shirt and Tumbler.
