The first programmable computer is generally considered to be the Z3, created by Konrad Zuse in 1941. It was approximately 2.4 meters long (about 7.9 feet) and 1.2 meters high (about 3.9 feet), making it somewhat longer than a small chapter book but significantly shorter than a semi-truck trailer.
If you’re looking for specific comparisons:
- Student Size: The Z3 is much larger than a human student.
- Semi-Truck Trailer Size: It is far shorter than a semi-truck trailer, which typically measures about 13.6 meters (approximately 45 feet) long.
- Small Chapter Book Size: It is much longer than a small chapter book.
- Cell Phone Size: It is vastly larger than a cell phone.
So, in summary, the Z3 is larger than a small chapter book and a cell phone but smaller than a semi-truck trailer.
