EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the groundbreaking ENIAC computer, a true marvel of its time. Created in 1944 by J Presper Eckert and John William Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania, this colossal machine was designed to revolutionize computing during World War II. Its purpose? To calculate ballistic firing tables for the US Army. The sheer size and power consumption of ENIAC were awe-inspiring. Weighing an astonishing 30 tons and consuming a staggering 160 kilowatts of power, it stood as a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancement. This all-electronic computer was not only enormous but also marked an important milestone as the first Turing-complete machine ever built. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are reminded of the immense impact that technology has had on our world. The vibrant colors captured in this print bring life to an era defined by warfare and scientific progress. It serves as a visual representation of America's determination to harness electronic capabilities for military purposes during the mid-20th century. Let us appreciate how far we have come since then, with information technology now permeating every aspect of our lives. This print immortalizes both the genius minds behind ENIAC - J Presper Eckert and John William Mauchly - as well as their contribution to shaping modern computing.
