The first mechanical computing machine was invented in Greece circa 100 BC: It was used for navigation. it was called the Antikythera mechanism.
It is remains unknown as to the origins and dating of the first mechanical computers. For example by definition the Abacus is mechanical and can perform computations. It has been around and remains used for the past thousands of years. The Abacus and the archeological discovery of the Greek computer remain with unknown inventors.
The earliest computer known is the Antikythera Machine, a mechanical device that computed the positions of the astrological signs on any given date, past or future. It was discovered in an ancient shipwreck in the Mediterranean Sea and dates to approximately 250 BC. The designer/builder is not known, but because of its similarity to other mechanical devices known to have been designed by Archimedes, it is probably his work.

Computers were not discovered they were invented. A thing can only be discovered if it was preexisting before man became aware of it.
The electromechanical computer was invented by Charles Babbage. Christened the Analytical Engine, Babbage's device is said have had most features of the modern computer.
Unknown as the first analog computer was found in shipwreck off Greece. It had been built about 100 BC.
by Charles Babbage!
Harvard Mark I
Z3, an electromechanical programmable computer was invented in Berlin. ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic computer was invented at the University of Pennsylvania.
computers weren't invented in 1856.
The world wide web was invented at CERN in Geneva, which is in Switzerland. Computers were not invented in Switzerland.
No NASA diid not exist until 1959, programable electronic digital computers were invented in the 1940s.
The first electromechanical computers were invented in Germany. Konrad Zuse first built computers in his parents' apartment. Zuse worked alongside the Nazi's and received some funding for his work from them.
actually long before computers existed, it was a deck of punchcards used on electromechanical unit record equipment. the US census bureau used them first in 1890.

No. the first anlalytical engine was babage computing machine it was controlled by steam it was not electromachenical
Mike Dell invented Dell computers.

That is very hard to say as it has many inventors and has been invented independently at many times and many places.Many different computers (analog, mechanical) have been invented as far back as before 100BC.Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine (digital, mechanical) was invented in 1840s but never built as he could not get funding to even begin work.Vanevar Bush's Differential Analyzer (analog, electromechanical) was invented and built in 1930s.John Vincent Atanasoff's ABC (digital, electronic) was invented in 1937, finished and working in early 1942, its design could easily have become the baseline for all future computers had not WW2 interrupted.Konrad Zuse's Z3 (digital, electromechanical) was invented in 1941.Many different computers (analog, electromechanical) were invented in the 1930s and 1940s.John Mauchly & J. Presper Eckert invented ENIAC (digital, electronic) for the Army in 1942, finished and working in late 1945. Used to run a simulation of Edward Teller's "Classical Super" hydrogen bomb design in December 1945 through January 1946 (the simulation showed that that design could not be made to work, the problem being excessive radiation heat loss). Revealed to the public in February 1946. Architectural dead end computer.Many different computers (analog, electronic) were invented in the 1940s through 1960s (including several hybrid aka analog/digital systems).Digital Differential Analyzers (DDA) were invented in about 1949, they could solve differential equations with much greater accuracy than analog computers could and much faster than digital computers could (digital, electronic). However like most analog computers and ENIAC they were hard to reprogram for entirely new applications.Computers took off so fast in the 1950s and later it is almost impossible to tabulate inventions associated with them.

FDR was president of the US when electronic digital computers were invented.
Actually many early computers (e.g. the Harvard Mark I) were mechanical or electromechanical, largely because people did not believe that vacuum tubes were reliable enough. However once this was proven false the fact that electronic computers were many orders of magnitude faster than the mechanical or electromechanical computers, electronic computers rapidly replaced other approaches.During the 1960s there was significant interest in building fluidics computers (i.e. hydraulic logic circuits) because they would not be disturbed by EMP or radioactivity, but this was abandoned with the introduction of microprocessors in the 1970s.
computers were invented to help people find jobs, get information, and help communicate
