This episode of Modern Marvels traces the development of the computer from a primitive 19th century mechanical calculating machine to the sophisticated personal computers of today. The Creation of the Computer highlights the trials and tribulations of the century-long evolution of the computer; from an impractical, cost-prohibitive vacuum tube machine to the palm-sized, micro-chip computers that are as much a part of American life and business as the television or telephone.
