On May 12, 1941, Konrad Zuse (1910-1995) presented a small group of experts in Berlin, the first fully automatic, programmable and freely programmable computing machine in the world - the Z3. Almost unnoticed by the public, he ushered in the age of the computer. Already in 1935, the civil engineer had quit his promising position at the Berlin Henschel aircraft factory to fulfill his dream: the development of a fully automatic calculating machine. Zuse's goal was to have the same amount of stupid bills accumulated by aircraft or insurance companies handled by a fully automatic machine. He had succeeded in doing so with the Z3, and he used to say with humor, "I was too lazy to do arithmetic."
