EDSAC

EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator) was an early computer built in the late 1940s at the University of Cambridge. It was one of the first stored-program computers, meaning it could store instructions and data in its memory for automatic execution. EDSAC used electronic components to perform calculations and control processes, marking a significant step in the development of modern computers. Its design influenced future machines and demonstrated how computers could automate complex tasks, laying groundwork for the digital technology we rely on today.
