June 21, 1948, marked a historic moment in computing: the first program ever ran on a digital, electronic, stored-program computer. 🖥️

📍 Key Facts:

• Developed by Frederic Williams, Tom Kilburn, and Geoff Toothill at the University of Manchester
• Known as the Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM), nicknamed the “Baby”
• Built to test Williams Tube memory, the world’s first high-speed electronic random access memory

💡 The First Program:

• Written by Tom Kilburn, it consisted of 17 instructions
• Successfully executed on the Baby, proving the concept of stored-program computing – a cornerstone of modern computers 🏛️

✨ Why it Matters:

The Baby’s success paved the way for the Manchester Mark 1 and influenced the design of almost all modern computers.
