What was the world's first computer?

The credit for the first programmable digital computer goes to Colossus which was an Allied WWII code-breaking machine at Bletchley Park. For other uses of the term computer besides the modern "digital computer" one, an earlier answer might apply. For additional information including a discussion of analog and mechanical computers, non-programmable digital computers, and the general history of machine computation, see the Wikipedia article on "Computer".


What is digital computer?

A computer that stores data in terms of digits (numbers) and proceeds in discrete steps from one state to the next. The states of a digital computer typically involve binary digits which may take the form of the presence or absence of magnetic markers in a storage medium (see memory), on-off switches or relays. In digital computers, even letters, words and whole texts are represented digitally. Unlike analog computers, digital computers can only approximate a continuum by assigning large numbers of digits to a state description and by proceeding in arbitrarily small steps.


ENIAC stands for?

A computer. ENIAC stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Calculator.The ENIAC was the first digital computer in the modern sense of the word, built in 1942-1945 in USA.

How are pictures developed in modern photography techniques?

In modern photography techniques, pictures are developed using digital technology. Light is captured by a digital sensor in the camera, which then converts the light into electronic signals. These signals are processed by the camera's software to create a digital image file, which can be viewed and edited on a computer or printed out as a physical photograph.
