The actual computers called Colossus were World War II code-breaking computers built in 1943 and 1944 in Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, England. These were the first true programmable computers, and about a dozen were built.
The prototype, Colossus Mark I, was shown working in December 1943 and was operational at Bletchley Park by February 1944. An improved Colossus Mark II was first installed in June 1944, and ten more had been constructed by the end of the war. Unfortunately, the secret nature of these computers meant that their innovations were not available for commercial computer development for many years.
*The other computer called Colossus is a fictional Artificial Intelligence from a 1965 novel (Colossus) by Dennis Feltham Jones, which was the basis for the film Colossus, the Forbin Project in 1970

Which computer is known as the first computer of the world?
It depends on what you mean by computer, but the first electronic, partly programmable computer was the colossus computer built by Tommy Flowers in 1943.
How was life in Rhodes when colossus was bilt?
Life was good when colossus was being built but slaves built it
What part of the colossus computer enabled it to do the processing?
The Colossus computer worked using one to two thousand thermionic valves.
Who was the builder that built the colossus of Rhodes?
Chares of Lindos.
What is the first computer's name?
"Colossus". It was designed by Tommy Flowers of the British Post Office and built by the engineering team at Bletchley Park (in England) to help crack the Nazi "Fish ciphers" during World War II. There were 10 of them built before VE day, making it not only the first programmable electronic digital computer built but the first computer built in a quantity larger than one before 1952 (when the UNIVAC I went into production).
Where was colossus built?
colossus was bulit in rhodes
Where was Colossus of Roads built?
The Colossus of Rhodes was built on the island of Rhodes in Greece.
Why was the colossus computer desgined for?
the main objective of the colossus was to break the enigma code

It was built by the sculptor Chares of Lindoswas.
What was the name given to one of the first computers?
The first electronic programmable computer was known as Colossus. Please see the related link. The Prototype 'Colossus Mark 1' was working in 1944. The first freely programable computer was the Z1 built between 1936 and 1938.
Who invented the machine known as Colossus?
The computer known as Colossus was designed by Tommy Flowers, and built by a branch of the British Government- the Post Office Research Station. This was used during WW 2 as a code breaking computer.
Who build the colossus of Rhodes?
The Colossus of Rhodes was built in 280 BC by Chares of Lindos. Chares was a Greek sculptor and built the Colossus to celebrate the victory of Rhodes over Antigonus I Monophtalmus of Cyprus.
