John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert unveiled the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) on February 14, 1946. ENIAC was the world's first general-purpose electronic digital computer. It was a massive machine that occupied a large room and was designed to perform a wide range of computing tasks, including calculations for artillery trajectory tables during World War II.
ENIAC was a groundbreaking achievement in the field of computing, and it marked a significant advancement from earlier electromechanical and punched-card systems. The machine was capable of solving complex numerical problems much faster than previous technologies. The unveiling of ENIAC is considered a milestone in the history of computing and played a crucial role in the development of modern electronic computers.
