The Z1 was a motor-driven mechanical computer designed by German inventor Konrad Zuse from 1936 to 1937, which he built in his parents’ home from 1936 to 1938. It was a binary, electrically driven, mechanical calculator, with limited programmability, reading instructions from punched celluloid film.
Z1, the first binary digit computer in history, was created by Konrad Zuse. He was a German civil engineer, inventor, and computer pioneer who began working on the machine in his parents’ living room in the late 1930s. Z1 was completed in 1938, and it was the first programmable computer that used binary digits (bits) and floating-point numbers to represent numbers.
