Throwback Thursday: The early, enormous days of computers
Early computers were behemoths, comparable size-wise to compact cars. When this Aug. 30, 1949 photo was taken, James R. Wiener, J. Presper Eckert Jr., and Dr. John W. Mauchly were looking over the memory section of the Mauchly-Eckert Corp. computer. Eckert and Mauchly were credited with creating the ENIAC, the world’s first large-scale general purpose electronic computer. (AP Photo)
