In the context of computing, the term "1944" usually refers to the year in which the Colossus, one of the world's first programmable digital computers, was operational. The Colossus was developed by British engineer Tommy Flowers and his team at Bletchley Park during World War II to help in deciphering the Lorenz-encrypted (Tunny) messages used by the German military.
