Konrad Zuse was a German engineer and computer pioneer, born on June 22, 1910. He is best known for creating the first programmable computer, the Z3, in 1941. Zuse's work laid the foundation for modern computing, as he developed concepts such as binary arithmetic and the use of a programming language. In addition to the Z3, Zuse also designed the Z4, which became the world's first commercial computer. His contributions to computer science were significant, and he is often regarded as one of the fathers of computing. Zuse's innovations helped shape the future of technology and computing.
