The first computer built was in 1936. The name was Konrad Zues-Z1, the first freely programmable computer. Computers let you explore the history behind your favorite inventions and learn about the lives of the famous inventors that created them. Inventions are the ingenious gadgets and machines that have made our lives a little more fun, interesting, and useful. Real inventions are the things that we did not think were possible yesterday that we can not live without today. Computers have been with us for a long time and they change a lot, so there are many new ideas for us to use to create new things. Jessica Medrano, 7th grade, Raul Yzaguirre School For Success
