The ENIAC, presented to the public in 1946, is - depending on the
definition - the first programmable digital computer in the world. Its
first programmers were primarily women: so-called refrigerator ladies
(seen here: Gloria Ruth Gordon and Ester Gerston) spent hours flipping
switches and swapping cable connections - the first computer input
devices - to tell the programmable digital computer what it has to do next.
