The name of the computer was ENIAC, which stood for Electronic Numerical Intergrator and Computer. It filled 40 ,9 feet tall cabinets and had about 18,000 vacuum tubes with miles of wiring this was designed for a weapon of war. It could calculate trajectories for WWII artillery guns but because of it operating under the army secrecy it was little known to the public only by computing circles, it was eventually buried in history under controversy, jealousy, and lawsuits.

The team that built the first computer ate, slept, and lived with it. They ran into so many problems from how to combine vacuum tubes together so they could count numbers without making mistakes all the way down to how they could make supplies last. Finally in 1946 this thing was completed<.
