FIRST U.S. DIGITAL COMPUTER DEDICATED

UNIVAC 1 - EcuRed

On June 14, 1951, the U.S. Census Bureau dedicated UNIVAC,
the first commercially produced electronic digital computer in
the United States. UNIVAC, which stood for Universal Automatic Computer, was developed by a team of engineers led by J.
Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, makers of ENIAC, the first
general-purpose electronic digital computer. These giant
computers, which used thousands of vacuum tubes for
computation, were the forerunners of today’s digital
computers.

OVERDUE BOOK WAS FINALLY RETURNED

PORTLAND, Ore.(KATU-TV)  — A Multnomah County Library
patron recently returned an overdue book – 65 years after its
check-out date!

In a social media post, the library said that someone recently
returned a first-edition copy of 1984 by George Orwell.

It was originally checked out in 1958, 65 years ago. The library
noted it even has the Library Association of Portland stamp
on the pages.

The MCL provided a picture of the book, as well as a note the
patron left with it.

The Multnomah County Library said that it is a fine-free library,
and the patron has definitely earned a clear conscience for their
good deed.

In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14,
it commemorates the adoption of the
flag of the United
States
on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second
Continental
Congress
.The Flag Resolution, passed on
June 14, 1777, stated: "Resolved, That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red
and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a
blue field, representing a new constellation."

The United States Army also celebrates the U.S. Army
birthday
on this date; Congress adopted "the American
continental army" after reaching a consensus position
in the Committee of the Whole on June 14, 1775.

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation
that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; on August
3, 1949, National Flag Day was established by an
Act of
Congress
