The first programmable computer was created at the University of Pennsylvania during World War II as a 'top secret' project. The ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was made public in 1946 and it amazed the world that a room full of electric wires could compute difficult math problems in breathtaking speed. Due to the space required, air conditioning to prevent overheating, and the cost of the computer, only the government and large businesses could afford computers.
The digital age started in the 1970s when Steve Jobs dropped out of college and began tinkering in the family garage with electronics. Eventually Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created a personal computer and co-founded Apple Computer. The two friends became the first personal computer hardware engineers, software development team, and computer programmers. This was the beginning of the ability for people to transfer information quickly. Floppy disks could be passed to a business associate, your friend, or mailed across the country.
