1940-The Complex Number Calculator (CNC) is completed
In 1939,
Bell Telephone Laboratories completes this calculator, designed by
scientist George Stibitz. In 1940, Stibitz demonstrated the CNC at an
American Mathematical Society conference held at Dartmouth College.
Stibitz stunned the group by performing calculations remotely on the CNC
(located in New York City) using a Teletype terminal connected via to
New York over special telephone lines. This is likely the first example
of remote access computing.
