ENIAC Pioneering the Digital Frontier and Revolutionizing Computing Speed

ENIAC is often considered the world's first general-purpose electronic digital computer. Its ability to be programmed for various tasks made it a versatile machine. It was a thousand times faster than the Mark I, occupying 160 square meters, weighing 30 tons, with 17,468 vacuum tubes, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, and consuming approximately 200,000 watts.

 ENIAC's speed was a major breakthrough. It could perform about 5,000 additions or 357 multiplications per second. This was a vast improvement over earlier mechanical computers like the Mark I. 

 ENIAC's contributions were monumental in the history of computing, showcasing the potential of electronic computers for a wide range of applications.
