    Computers have evolved greatly over time from early mechanical devices to modern electronic computers. Some key developments include the earliest general purpose computers like Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine in the 1800s, the first programmable digital computer (Z3) in 1941, and the first general purpose electronic computers like ENIAC in the 1940s. Major advances continued in the mid-1900s including the first stored program computer (EDVAC) in 1949 and the first commercially available computer (UNIVAC I) in 1951. Personal computing began in the 1970s with the Altair 8800 kit computer and the Apple I and II, leading to the introduction of the IBM PC in 1981 and Macintosh in 1984, establishing
