What is Atanasoff Berry Computer ABC?
The Atanasoff–Berry computer (ABC) was the first automatic electronic digital computer. Limited by the technology of the day, and execution, the device has remained somewhat obscure. The first electronic, programmable, digital machine, the Colossus computer from 1941 to 1945, used similar tube-based technology as ABC.
