Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) was developed by John W. Mauchly and John Presper Eckert in the mid-1940s. Option A is incorrect because John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry developed the Atanasoff-Berry Computer, which was a precursor to the ENIAC. Option B is incorrect because Charles Babbage and Herman Hollerith developed earlier computing technologies, such as the Analytical Engine and the Tabulating Machine, respectively. Option D is also incorrect because Max Newman was involved in the development of the Colossus computer, while Steve Wozniak co-founded Apple Computer and was involved in the development of personal computers, but not the ENIAC.
