ENIAC
The first large-scale general-purpose electronic computer. Built at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering, ENIAC is an acronym for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer. Its birth lay in World War II as a classified military project known only as Project PX. The ENIAC is laid the foundations for the modern electronic computing industry. More than any other machine, the ENIAC demonstrated that high-speed digital computing was possible using the then-available vacuum tube technology.
