The Government PAID for ENIAC, but the University of Pennsylvania developed it.

It is believed that the real first computer was not ENIAC but a machine developed by the Brits at Blechley Park used to decode Hitler’s coded messages.

Obama is a dumb ass.

The Colossus machines were electronic computing devices used by British codebreakers to read encrypted German messages during World War II. These were the world’s first programmable, digital, electronic, computing devices. They used vacuum tubes (thermionic valves) to perform the calculations.
