Before there was Google and Facebook, Penn invented this

UPenn and ENIAC


And you thought your Macbook air was heavy.

Get a look at this monster of a computer otherwise known as ENIAC: the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer... or the first computer at Penn.

We've heard about it through the years, but get a great 2 minute video summary of its beginnings at Penn after the jump!







And if you recall, ENIAC had everything to do with my brilliant, yet rejected 1996 ivy stone design.
