When was the first electro-mechanical computer developed?
When was the first electro-mechanical computer developed?
The correct option is B 1944
In 1944 the first electro-mechanical computer
developed.
A mechanical computer is built from mechanical
components such as levers and gears, rather than electronic components. The
most common examples are adding machines and mechanical counters, which use the
turning of gears to increment output displays.
The Z2 was one of the earliest examples of an
electromechanical relay computer, and was created by German engineer Konrad
Zuse in 1940. It was an improvement on his earlier Z1; although it used the
same mechanical memory, it replaced the arithmetic and control logic with
electrical relay circuits.
At that time ENIAC, that had been created by John
Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert, was considered to be the first computer in the
modern sense, but in 1973 a U.S. District Court invalidated the ENIAC patent
and concluded that the ENIAC inventors had derived the subject matter of the
electronic digital computer from
