Without the knowledge many people wouldn't think that the technology that we know so well today was introduced by the army of the first world war. Communication was important and with that; multimedia in common with other technology such as personal computers and microprocessors were all commodities of the military research and development known as the R&D. The military helped in the development of the computer, the internet and so much more. To my knowledge the first electronic computer was designed to calculate an artillery range table which was made by the US Army. The Electrical Numerical Integrator and calculator machine also known as (ENIAC) was basically the first general purpose electronic computer.
Without the development of these technical machines technology would be what it is today. It was the knowledge of these war veterans of producing computers which developed the idea of the atomic bomb which needed the capabilities of an electronic computer.
