The Birth Of The Computer: How Turing And Von Neumann Shaped Modern Computing

The evolution of modern computing, heavily influenced by Alan Turing's universal machine concept and John von Neumann's stored-program architecture, began post-World War II amidst the Cold War. The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) in 1946 marked the first practical implementation, but lacked program storage. The Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator (EDSAC), completed in 1949, addressed this issue. The advent of trans…
