A pioneering Cambridge computer that helped usher in the modern computing age has been honoured with a Blue Plaque.
The plaque marks the development of EDSAC, the world’s first practical stored-program computer, which began operating at Cambridge University in 1949.
The machine transformed scientific research, contributing to work that led to three Nobel Prizes and paving the way for modern computing.
Tom Bygott is from Cambridge Past, Present and Future and spoke to Glenn Jones.
