👉 Started computing, also known as the first programmable computers, refers to the development of machines capable of performing tasks that require human-like intelligence and problem-solving abilities. The concept emerged in the mid-20th century with the advent of electronic computers, which replaced mechanical and electromechanical systems. Key milestones include the invention of the first electronic digital computers like ENIAC and UNIVAC, followed by the development of stored-program architectures, where instructions could be stored in memory alongside data. This shift enabled computers to execute a wide range of tasks, from simple calculations to complex simulations and eventually artificial intelligence applications. The term "started computing" encapsulates this transformative period in which computers evolved from specialized tools to versatile machines that underpin modern technology and society.
