It took years before they brought a computer to market, so a British radar engineer named Freddie Williams beat them to building the first computer with stored programs. They didnвЂ™t finish in time to be useful for the war, but soon after, Eckert and Mauchly started the first commercial computer company. Presper Eckert built ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic computer, to aid in military calculations. At the University of Pennsylvania, John Mauchly and J. During World War II, Zuse wanted to switch to vacuum tubes, but Hitler killed the project because it would take too long. Ada Lovelace assisted Babbage with the design and working out programs for the unbuilt machine, making her the first programmer.ДЎ00 years later, German engineer Konrad Zuse built the Z1, the first functional general-purpose computer, using binary counting with mechanical telephone relays. He later designed the analytical engine, the first general-purpose programmable computer, but it was never finished. Frustration with human error led Charles Babbage to develop his difference engine, the first mechanical computer. The history of computing begins with the original definition of вЂњcomputers,вЂќ human beings like William Shanks that calculated numbers by hand. The first part begins with a brief introduction to the series, summarizing the impact of computers on every aspect of our lives, attributed to their versatile nature.

With the help of Simon Willison, Jesse Legg, and (unofficially) the Portland State University library, weвЂ™ve tracked down and digitized all five parts. Its broadcast was accompanied by a book co-written by the documentaryвЂ™s producer Jon Palfreman. Jointly produced by WGBH Boston and the BBC, it originally aired in the UK as The Dream Machine before its U.S. ItвЂ™s a whirlwind tour of computing before the Web, with brilliant archival footage and interviews with key players - several of whom passed away since the filming. Out of print and never released online, the only remaining copies are VHS tapes floating around school libraries or in the homes of fans who dubbed the original shows when they aired. The Machine That Changed the World is the longest, most comprehensive documentary about the history of computing ever produced, but since its release in 1992, itвЂ™s become virtually extinct.
