Sobre este artículo
New York: Walker and Company, 1999. Reprint. Second printing. Hardcover. Good in very good dust jacket. Slightly cocked.. viii, 262 p. Illustrations. Notes. Bibliography. Index. In this historical analysis, McCartney tells the story of the first computer, from its humble beginnings as a wartime number cruncher to the revolution it began. During World War II, John Mauchly and Presper Eckert invented ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) as a replacement for the handheld calculators that determined where artillery shells would land. The author asserts that these inventors should receive credit for their contribution to the computing field.
