🖥️ The First Computers: The Beginning
-
The history of the Internet begins with the first computers in the 1940s. Back then, computers were enormous machines filling entire rooms, primarily used for scientific and military purposes.
-
ENIAC (1945) and Z3 (1941) are milestones in early computer development.
-
Communication between computers didn’t exist yet; everything had to be transferred via punch cards or magnetic tapes.
- The idea of exchanging information electronically emerged slowly and was driven in the 1960s by scientific visionaries such as J.C.R. Licklider, who was the first to talk about an “intergalactic network.”
