The First Computer to Sing

In 1961 the IBM 7094 became the first computer to sing, singing the song Daisy Bell.

 
You might remember HAL 9000, the computer in the film 2001 A Space Odyssey, singing the same song as its abilities start to degrade. It regresses back to its earliest programming experiences, which included learning to sing “Daisy Bell.”
