What ethnicity invented first computer?

I'm not certain what you mean by "ethnicity" and it also depends what you mean by computer, but the first programmable computer was invented by Charles Babbage in England. The first digital electronic computer was developed at Bletchley Park (also in England) during world war 2. It was designed and built by Tommy Flowers.


Who invented the first modern computer during world war 2?

The first computer was invented in 1946


What job did the Colossus do during world war 2?

That was the name of the first programmable electronic computer, and it was used to break codes used by the Germans.


Was there a war when the computer was invented?

Most of the early work that lead to the modern programmable electronic digital computer was prompted by military needs in WW2. IBM was prompted into developing their first commercially available programmable electronic digital computer, the IBM 701, by the Korean War. The Cold War in general prompted many developments in miniaturization of digital computers, especially for military avionics and missile guidance systems. Any specific war you were thinking of?


Duringwhat war was the first programmable computer developed?

World War 2. Large Data Bases.


What was the main role for the computer collusus?

The Colossus Computer was constructed to help the code breakers at Bletchley Park, England, to break the German's Enigma codes during World War II. It was the world's first electronic, digital, programmable computer.


When the first computer was invented?

the first known computer, a mechanical analog computer, was invented and built circa 100BCthe first digital computer, a programmable mechanical decimal computer, was invented circa 1840 but never builtthe first electronic digital computer, an electronic binary computer, was invented circa 1936 and built in 1942. it was dismantled later that yearthe first programmable electronic digital computer, was invented in 1943 and 11 of them in 2 different models were built between 1944 and the end of the war in Europe. this is the only digital computer built built in a quantity greater than 1 until the early 1950sthe first stored program electronic digital computer, was built in 1948 based on a variety of concepts invented between 1936 and 1946. all modern digital computers are derivatives of this architecture


What year and during what war was the first computer invented?

the first computers were invented in mid 1930s but nothing was actually built until beginning of ww2.


Was the computer invented in 1984?

No. Charles Babbage invented the programmable digital computer in the 1830s but could never get funding to build it, the machine was all mechanical and powered by a steam engine. Alan Turing invented the digital computer with a program stored in memory in 1936 but only described it in his paper "On Computable Numbers" as a part of a mathematical proof, he never intended on building it. John Vincent Atanasoff invented the first electronic digital computer in 1936 and finished building it in 1942 just before having to leave for war work. However it was not programmable. Tommy Flowers invented the first programmable electronic digital computer in late 1943 to help Bletchley Park crack German High Command cypher messages. The first of 10 of these computers was completed just before D-Day in time to contribute significantly to the success of the invasion. Many other computers (both analog and digital, both programmable and nonprogrammable) were invented between the 1830s and the 1960s. All modern computers are derivatives of inventions that predate 1960. Microcomputers are simply an invention (done in 1971) that greatly increased miniaturization and reduced the cost of computers based on existing concepts.


What was invented during the Revolutionary War?

Spam was Invented.


Does Germany have computers?

That depends on how you define "computer". It is generally accepted that Konrad Zuse (a German) designed and built the first programmable electro-mechanical computing machine, or digital computer, called the Z3, in 1941. It was destroyed during the course of World War II.


When was the first computer console made?

The first electronic programmable computer was made by British Post Office engineers in 1942/1943 at Bletchley Park in the UK. It was made to break the Enigma (and other codes) used by the German armed forces during world war two.
