Was the first computer invented before the first television computer invented before the first television?

The first commercially available TV was sold by RCA in 1939. It received up to 5 channels (VHF 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 -- we no longer have channel 1 but 2 to 5 are the same). Sales were stopped in 1941 due to the start of WW2. Analog computers of both mechanical and electronic types were available before this. Digital computers of both electromechanical and electronic types were not available until after this. Both were roughly 3 orders of magnitude more expensive than the top of the line RCA TV of 1939 through 1941. The very first invention of a TV was just before WW1 but they were mechanical and not practical to build and sell. The very first known invention of an analog computer was around 100 BC, but it was mechanical. The very first invention of a digital computer was in the 1830s by Babbage, but it was mechanical and he was never able to build it.

What are 2 inventions that led up to the creation of the computer keyboard?

Actually, a method of input was needed fairly soon after the first computer was invented, so the keyboard, I would have to say, would have been invented after the actual computer was invented. The first personal-ish computer used lots of toggle switches to do mathematical calculations, thereafter it was realized that a different method of inputting information to the computer would be needed. Since typewriters were already in very large use, the obvious choice for a similar design would be the typewriter's layout. Typewriters used the QWERTY layout (notice that those are the first six letters on your keyboard), thus the keyboard came into action. It was shortly realized afterwards, (or perhaps at the same time,) that there would need to be a way for that larger amount of information to be displayed, which in came the CRT computer monitor. (Remember that the cathode ray had already been discovered and put to use in TVs by a nuclear physicist more than 40 years ago, so the creation of a computer screen was more or less cut out for them.)
