CNET News: A Computer is Born
CNET's staff writer, Michael Kanellos, reflects on the historic debut of the first computer called the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer [ENIAC], which was unveiled some sixty years ago. 'In February 1946, J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly were about to unveil, for the first time, an electronic computer to the world. Their ENIAC, or Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, could churn 5,000 addition problems in one second, far faster than any device yet invented.'
