hey guys I'm Nina with 4Leet
IT services and I'm here today to talk to you guys about the first freely
programmable computer
ever built the Z1 was built by a young German engineer
Conrad Zuse it was designed in 1935 to 1936
Zuse was 26 years old when he decided to build the Z1
he built in his parents living room and that was quite the task
because some of the first computers were really really big
huge like the size of a small room and the Z1 did not disappoint with the size
Department The Z1 was finally completed
in 1938 so what made the Z1 so special
and a pioneer in its class I guess it's because it had
most of the components in a modern-day computer
had a 64 word memory it had input and output devices
it had a control unit and micro sequences
the Z1 was the first freely programmable computer
and it used punched tape
and a set of eight different instructions to perform
you know computations and math problems
and that's what the first computers were they were just basically
big giant calculators that created a
that help people solve math problems that would normally take them very long time
otherwise to do so unfortunately the Z1 and its plans were destroyed
between 1943 and 1944
during the allied air raids. undefeated
Conrad continued building computers and
had a very successful company after a while
and in 1986
he actually rebuilt the Z1 completely from scratch
and now it's replica is on display
at the museum of technology in Berlin
Konrad Zuse was born in 1910
and passed away in 1995 due to heart failure
he will always be remembered as the creator
of the first computer and a genius mind that helped create the world we
live in today
Thanks for watching guys I hope you enjoyed this video
again I'm Nina with 4Leet IT Services and we'll see you next time
Bye!
