** Initially, in 1936, Konrad Zuse (1910 - 1955), a German Engineer, designed and constructed a programmable, mechanical computer that used binary code. Then in 1941 he invented the first electronic, digital, programmable computer, also using binary code. It was comprised of all the basic features of today's computers, with the exception of the capacity to store the program and data together (a feature that his work didn't require).
