Answer: 12 years. Both washing machines and dryers typically wear out after 11 to 12 years, industry groups say. Top-load machines boast the longest average lifespan at 12 years, while front-load washers typically last about 11.
The Electrical Numerator Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC) was the first computer, and it was developed in 1946 by John Presper Eckert and John Mauchly. The duo's research was sponsored by the U.S. military.
Technically, India's first computer was a small analogue device built in 1953 at Calcutta's Indian Statistical Institute. It was used to solve linear equations. But a year or so later (c.1954â1955), the institute imported a British-built HEC-2M for a princely sum of â¹10 lakh and it is this device which is considered India's first true computer. The computer was a behemoth measuring 10 feet in length, 7 feet in breadth, and 6 feet in height.
