Tom Kilburn, scientist behind stored-program computer, dies

Source: SMH|Published: Friday January 19, 1:40 PM
A computing pioneer who helped build the world's first stored-program computer has died.
Tom Kilburn, who was 79, died on Wednesday in Manchester after a long illness but the cause of his death has not been revealed.
Kilburn and a colleague at Manchester University began experimenting with storing data on cathode-ray tubes after World War II.
In June 1948, they successfully tested the first computer capable of storing a program.
Kilburn stayed at Manchester University until his retirement in 1981.
He established the university's computer science department in 1964 -- the first at a British university.
A modest Kilburn confessed at anniversary celebrations for his 1948 invention that he didn't even own a computer.
