Go to http://inventors.about.com/. Then go to the column on the left-hand side and click 'Find: A to Z Inventors'. There will be an alphabet at the top. Click on 'Z'. Then scroll down till you find Konrad Zuse. Click on the name and it will come up with a page about Konrad Zuse and a picture of the first computer.
I hope you have found what you need!!!!!!!

∙ 16y agoWhile not a computer expert, I can tell you one the first computers was actually invented in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. It was a simple machine made of stone and was used for adding.
Really.
More modern, (20th century) computers filled large rooms because they needed diode tubes which generated great amounts of heat, along with taking up a lot of space. These too, were very simple machines and were capable of only doing menial task. Unlike todays' super computers.

∙ 16y agoAtanasoff-Berry Computer In late 1939, John Atanasoff teamed up with Clifford Berry to build a prototype. They created the first computing machine to use electricity, vacuum tubes, binary numbers and capacitors. The capacitors were in a rotating drum that held the electrical charge for the memory. The brilliant and inventive Berry, with his background in electronics and mechanical construction skills, was the ideal partner for Atanasoff. The prototype won the team a grant of $850 to build a full-scale model. They spent the next two years further improving the Atanasoff-Berry Computer. The final product was the size of a desk, weighed 700 pounds, had over 300 vacuum tubes, and contained a mile of wire. It could calculate about one operation every 15 seconds, today a computer can calculate 150 billion operations in 15 seconds. Too large to go anywhere, it remained in the basement of the physics department. The war effort prevented John Atanasoff from finishing the patent process and doing any further work on the computer. When they needed storage space in the physics building, they dismantled the Atanasoff-Berry Computer.
