UNIVAC I
UNIVAC I, or Universal Automatic Computer I, was one of the first commercially available computers, developed in the early 1950s by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly. It was designed for business applications and became famous for predicting the outcome of the 1952 U.S. presidential election.
The UNIVAC I used magnetic tape for data storage and could perform about 1,000 calculations per second. Its architecture laid the groundwork for future computers, influencing the design of subsequent systems and marking a significant milestone in the evolution of computing technology.
