The computer that brought the world into the digital age, the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), was built during World War II by the United States. The enormous computer filled the 50-by-30-foot basement of the Moore School at the University of Pennsylvania. Unlike human mathematicians, the ENIAC could perform thousands of calculations per second, promising breakthroughs in mathematics and engineering. By the time it was completed in 1946, World War II was over, but the ENIAC was still used for military projects.
The correct answer to this quiz is General purpose computer.
