5 Fascinating facts about the world’s first computer:
Name and size – The first computer, ENIAC (1945), was a massive 30 meters long and weighed 27 tons.
No internal storage – It didn’t have a hard drive; data was entered using punch cards.
High energy consumption – It required 150 kW of electricity, enough to power a small town.
Surprisingly slow – Although revolutionary, its processing power was much lower than that of a modern smartphone.
Unexpected blackout – In 1955, when it was turned off, it caused a power outage in the entire city of Philadelphia.
