The introduction of the ENIAC was not just a milestone in the history of technology. It was a turning point in the story of how we understand ourselves. In its early days, Mauchly and Eckert’s invention was frequently compared to a human brain. Newspaper and magazine articles described the ENIAC as a “giant electronic brain,” a “robot brain,” an “automatic brain,” and a “brain machine.”
