| The modern digital computer, first designed by a Nazi by the name of Konrad Zuse, who created the first freely programmable computer. | Zuse’s computer required three elements, a control, a memory, and a calculator for arithmetic. Zuse continued to build over the years by developing the first algorithmic programming language.By the 1940's he'd completed the first functioning electro-mechanical computer. |
