Best Answer

The first electronic digital computer (ABC) was built in Ames, IA in the US in 1942. It was used only briefly before its designer (Atanasoff) and builder (Berry) moved on to war related work.

The first programmable electronic digital computer (Colossus) was built by the British Post Office and used by Bletchley Park in 1944. Due to its classified nature no information on it was released until the 1980s, so it generally does not appear in history books. Instead the ENIAC built for the US Army, finished in late 1945 does.

The first prototype of the modern programmable electronic digital computer (Manchester Baby) was built in Manchester England in 1948. It was based on a concept discussed on the ENIAC project about 1943 by unknown persons (although mistakenly sometimes credited to John von Neumann, who did not see ENIAC until 1945 some months before it was finished) but not used on ENIAC as such a redesign would have seriously delayed the project which was already well behind schedule.

Long before ABC many kinds of analog computers had been developed and used in many countries. The first known analog computer (Antikythera Mechanism) was of Greek design and was built circa 100BC.
