HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Doing math used to require a massive real estate investment. The ENIAC, completed in 1945, was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer. It weighed 27 tons, took up 167 square meters, and consumed 150 kilowatts of electricity. If you turned it on, the streetlights in Philadelphia reportedly dimmed. All that apocalyptic power just to calculate artillery trajectories.
One discovery leads to another.
