What about Colossus, the code breaking computer from WWII?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus_computer
3 years before ENIAC.
And Obama is AGAINST military technology development.
Yeah, I think you’re correct, actually. A lot of sources say that ENIAC was the first, but Colossus used essentially similar technology and went before ENIAC.
Both were WWII devices used by their respective governments for military purposes. Obama is a bundle of contradictions: “Government is great; they invented the first computer (well, make that the second electronic digital software-programmable computer), and they used it for military purposes (which I won’t fund).” Brilliant.
