Tale of the First Computer
Jane Smiley (who came to campus at my last employer during a student recruitment weekend) has just profiled the actual inventor of the first computer, one that formed the basis for ENIAC, the more commonly recognized machine. In this month’s issue of Wired, you can check out the entirety of her investigation – or read it online right now. A little geeky detective work is always highly entertaining…especially when it’s being done by someone who is not really known for being into technology!
