6 sie 2002 · Abstract: It is well known that the EDVAC was the first general-purpose electronic digital stored-program computer to be designed.
TLDR. The chapter discusses why the venerable words analog and digital were appropriated by inventors of the numerical computer for different types of computers in the United States in the 1940s, and speculates why the concerns raised at the 1950 Macy conference on cybernetics were ignored. Expand.
Abstract. The EDVAC computer was the first modern, electronic stored-program computer to be designed. It was, however, never produced to the original plan. When eventually redesigned and constructed, it was unreliable and heavily modified.
