                    Who made the computer?

Thomas Edison invented the electric bulb, Wilbur and Orville Wright first used airplanes, but where did the computer come from? Who made the first computer?

Although there was a calculator-like tool for centuries in the form of abacus, but who made the data storing machine? Charles Babbage's name is recorded in this connection in the patent office. He belonged to England and in the nineteenth century he formulated its earliest theories. But Conrad Tsuje of Germany first designed a machine in 1941, which can be called the father of today's computers. Only 64 words could be stored in it. Tsuje wanted so much that he would somehow get rid of the mess.

In 1992, he said in this regard, 'I had studied civil engineering. Civil engineers have to do calculations, which have to be done very well. I wanted them to be calculated automatically, then I figured out a way and this machine became what we today call computers. You can say that it was born out of the compulsion of my profession.

In 1938 Tsuje designed the machine named Z1, it was full of rods and handles all around. It was a model for experimentation and still had many flaws. He then produced another model called the Z2, which had a telephone relay system. Then the world's first working computer, the Z3, was built in 1941 and it looked like a huge cupboard and included 600 telephone relay systems. Today this machine is kept in the German Museum of Munich. Heintz Moeller introduces viewers to the specifics of Z3 and answers their questions.

They say - people stand in front of this machine and watch it with surprise. They do not understand what it is. Very interesting questions are also asked. Just last week a computer lover asked me if it could be connected to the Internet? I told him, why not, if you have 28 thousand years to boot.

Conrad Tsuje did not just produce what is called hardware in today's language. They also had to prepare a program, ie software, so that the computer could work. System of calculation in their language. In this, instructions and numbers were given through the punch system, based on which this machine worked.

Z3 in the Munich Museum This was the time of the Nazis, the Second World War was going on. Although Tsuje did not prepare it on the instructions of the Nazi government, he provided his invention for use in war. It was being used to design new aircraft or to decode other party information.

Tsuje was just merry in his invention. Looking back, he later said, 'At that time the question before me was how the work of analysis could be carried forward by developing such machines. I was also talking to the army people, but they had a machine named Enigma, which was very good at that time.

After World War I, Germany needed other things, not computers. But Conrad Tsuje remained on his way.

Conrad Tsuje says, 'It was clear to me that I was stepping into a new world of computing and that in my opinion chess could have been a locality for preparing the language of algorithms. For example, joking among my friends in 1938, I said that within fifty years a machine would defeat the chess worldchampion. Sadly it did not happen, but the path was absolutely right. '

Since 1940, Conrad Tsuje had his own company, Tsuje Apparatenbau, which went bankrupt in 1964. But even more regret was that his request in the patent office was rejected. He said that this decision was not correct.

He became an artist after the company went bankrupt. But here too the computer did not leave them. He started making oil paintings of computer giants. A few months before his death in 1995, he presented a picture of him to Bill Gates. The picture still hangs in Bill Gates' office at Microsoft's headquarters in Seattle.
