ENIAC ( / ˈɛniæk /; Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) [ 1][ 2] was the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer, completed in 1945. [ 3][ 4] Other computers had some of these features, but ENIAC was the first to have them all.
Time synchronization in North America can be achieved with many different methods, some of which require only a telephone, while others require expensive, sensitive, and rare electronic equipment. In the United States, the United States Naval Observatory provides the standard of time, called UTC (USNO), for the United States military and the ...
Dimensions. 24 in × 12.5 in × 6.5 in (61 cm × 32 cm × 17 cm) The Apollo Guidance Computer ( AGC) was a digital computer produced for the Apollo program that was installed on board each Apollo command module (CM) and Apollo Lunar Module (LM). The AGC provided computation and electronic interfaces for guidance, navigation, and control of the ...
Grace Brewster Hopper ( née Murray; December 9, 1906 – January 1, 1992) was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral. [ 1] She was a pioneer of computer programming. Hopper was the first to devise the theory of machine-independent programming languages, and used this theory to develop the FLOW-MATIC ...

In 1912, British engineer Arthur Pollen developed the first electrically powered mechanical analogue computer (called at the time the Argo Clock). [citation needed] It was used by the Imperial Russian Navy in World War I. [citation needed] The alternative Dreyer Table fire control system was fitted to British capital ships by mid-1916.

Oscillating timekeepers are used in modern timepieces. Sundials and water clocks were first used in ancient Egypt c. 1200 BC (or equally acceptable BCE) and later by the Babylonians, the Greeks and the Chinese. Incense clocks were being used in China by the 6th century.
