Plese check the I'm not a robot checkbox.'. He developed a fascination with calculating devices when his father gave him a slide rule, with which JVA used to solve simple math problems. Family Life and Relationship. Following the establishment of JVA as inventor of the first digital electronic computer, press recognition was slow to publicize the fact, partly due to the media attention focus on the Watergate Scandal, news of which was released the same day as the announcement of the court decision. examined it, and reviewed Atanasoff's design manuscript in detail.
