Detailed explanation-1: -The German civil engineer Konrad Zuse (1910-1995) is considered the inventor of the first digital and programmable computers – a feat he first accomplished in 1938, long before anyone else, anywhere in the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Z1 was a motor-driven mechanical computer designed by Konrad Zuse from 1936 to 1937, which he built in his parents’ home from 1936 to 1938. It was a binary electrically driven mechanical calculator with limited programmability, reading instructions from punched celluloid film.
Detailed explanation-3: -1935-1938: Konrad Zuse builds Z1, world’s first program-controlled computer. Despite certain mechanical engineering problems it had all the basic ingredients of modern machines, using the binary system and today’s standard separation of storage and control.
