It’s exciting to be inspired by the pioneers of the first personal computers, and this is part of the legacy of the vintage computer era. In 1970, John Blankenbaker designed a unique machine for its time, the first personal computer, named the Kenbak-1, which became available in 1971—earlier than any commercial microprocessor. This computer is programmed using a binary system through buttons, allowing users direct access to physical memory locations. The Kenbak-1 has no display output except for eight LEDs, which represent byte values from specific memory locations. Addresses and data are entered manually by setting the LED status using the front panel buttons.
