Programma 101: The Machine That Changed the World

Quando Olivetti inventò il PC

Also known as Programma 101. Quando Olivetti Inventò il PC

In the early 1960s, computers were still science-fiction to most people; those who did grasp computers knew them as room-filling behemoths. A small team at the Italian company Olivetti would thus astonish everyone in 1965 when they unveiled a computer small enough to fit on a desk and usable by regular people: Programma 101, considered by many the world’s first personal computer.
