It wasn't a World War at that time.

@TheRunescapePOD Japan, the biggest ally to Germany in Asia at the time, starting killing Chinese in 1937, and by the time Germany invaded Poland in 1939, there was already 5 MILLION dead.

And you don't call that the start of the war?

The Atanasoff-Berry Computer was the world's first electronic digital computer. It was built by John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford Berry at Iowa State University during 1937-42. It incorporated several major innovations in computing including the use of binary arithmetic, regenerative memory, parallel processing, and separation of memory and computing functions.

It's really hard to say who invented the Internet, I think the guys who did were the guys who hooked up two pcs and tranfured data between then first, without the use of floopys, but idk who thoses guys are but basically they invented the basis of the Internet. Cause all the Internet is, is data going between different pcs and servers

Internet is one of the 1 Internet wonder.
