Babbage invented The Analytical Engine programmable mechanical computer in the 1840s but never built it.
Several programable electromechanical and electronic computers were invented almost simultaneously in the 1940s and built and operated.

∙ 14y agoThe computer become known as the stored-programme computer because it allowed the sequence of steps, i.e. the algorithm to solve a problem, to be stored in some kind of storage device which was then accessed in a set series of steps to execute that algorithm.
A calculator, on the other hand, (not counting programmable calculators), is not a stored-programme computer. The "programme", so to speak, is your fingers operating in a set pattern - the calculator simply provides the function of the Arithmetic-Logic-Unit (ALU).
One of the original definitions of a computer was the ability to modify its own programme. This allowed it to alter its behaviour based on some logic built into the programme. This is no so true anymore, because many computers store the programme in read/execute (non-writeable) memory - but the original definition still holds true.

∙ 9y ago- about 1830 by Charles Babbage, he never built it
- 1936 by Alan Turing, he did not think seriously of building it until the middle of WW2 while working on code breaking at Bletchley Park and did not build one until after the war
- 1937 by Howard Aiken, he had IBM build the Harvard Mark I for him by 1944
- 1942 by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert, they finished ENIAC in late 1945 and announced it publicly in early 1946
- 1943 by Tommy Flowers, he built 11 Colossus computers for Bletchley Park between 1944 and 1945 but these computers were kept classified by the British until the late 1970s, so few histories include them

Where was the computer invented in?
Z3, an electromechanical programmable computer was invented in Berlin. ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic computer was invented at the University of Pennsylvania.
Who invented the first PC?
The first computer was invented by a man named Charles Babbage in 1837.Konrad Zuse made the Z1 computer which was the first freely programmable computer.
Who is known as the father of modern digital programmable computer and why?
Charles Babbage because he invented the "Difference Engine."
What does freely programmable computer mean?
A freely programmable computer is a computer that can be programmed and reprogrammed by the user. Almost all modern computers are freely programmable.
Who built the first home computer?
Konrad Zuse was the inventor of the first fully functional, programmable computer in 1941.

During what war was the programmable computer invented?
World War 2 (and invented in Great Britain).
Who is made of computer?
Charles Babbage invented the concept of a programmable computer in about 1856.
What inventions were invented in 1938?
the first programmable computer.
Who was Konrad Zuse?
In 1936, Konrad Zuse invented the first freely programmable computer.
Who invented the first PC?

Did Charles Babbage build the first computer ever made?
no. but he did invent the first general purpose programmable computer invented.
When were computer made?
in the year 1936 konrad zuse invented the z1 computer. it was the first freely programmable computer, but it was electromechanical not electronic
Who is known as the father of modern digital programmable computer and why?
Charles Babbage because he invented the "Difference Engine."
Who invented inventive computer programming?
Probably the first person to invent a programmable computer. That would be Charles Babbage, although he never built the computer. The idea of a programmable computer and the program to run on it are inextricably linked, one cannot be without the other.
What does freely programmable computer mean?
A freely programmable computer is a computer that can be programmed and reprogrammed by the user. Almost all modern computers are freely programmable.
Who built the first home computer?
Konrad Zuse was the inventor of the first fully functional, programmable computer in 1941.
