A Lost Interview with the ENIAC Co-Inventor

Computerworld has Q&A: A lost interview with ENIAC co-inventor J. Presper Eckert:

Are there any of your circuits still in use in today's personal computers?

No, but that's true of any first invention. Edison's original light bulb bears no resemblance to a modern bulb. They do the same thing but with totally different components. Same with the computer. What did survive were the concepts, not the hardware. The idea of a subroutine was original with ENIAC....We invented ways to run the same subroutine without any mechanical input. The idea of using internal memory was also original with ENIAC.
