ENIAC was the first general-purpose electronic computer. Calculating machines had been built before this, but they were mechanical, built for specific tasks and/or used gears to calculate numeric values. ENIAC used vacuum tubes to switch current, and worked with a numbering system other than base 10, which is what humans used. Look ENIAC up on Wikipedia for more information.

The ENIAC has 17,468 vacuum tubes. These tubes were the first technology that made computers function. Modern computers do not use this technology.

The ENIAC is the granddaddy of all computers. It was developed to calculate artillery firing table for the US Army. ENIAC stand for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer. However ENIAC was an architectural dead end and not one computer afterwards was based in anyway on it.
The IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (ASCC), called the Mark I by Harvard University,[1] was the first large-scale automatic digital computer in the USA. It is considered by some to be the first universal calculator. The electromechanical ASCC was devised by Howard H. Aiken created at IBM, shipped to Harvard in February 1944, and formally delivered there on August 7, 1944 - mayur_vaghela@yahoo.co.uk
1930-1940 American physicist John Atanasoff built the first rudimentary electronic computer in the late 1930s and early 1940s, although for several decades afterward credit for the first electronic computer went to the scientists who assembled the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) for the United States military by 1945. Danish physicist Allan Mackintosh recounts in a Scientific American article how Atanasoff first conceived of the design principles that are still used in present-day computers.
Pretty much everything we use is a computer, whether they're programmable or not. game controllers have computers. smartphones are computers. monitors have computers in them. TVs also do. Cars have them. and of course, calculators are computers also.

before electronic computers there were human computers (i.e. humans doing calculations with pencil and paper, if they were lucky a mechanical desk calculator and a book of precalculated mathematical tables).
J. Presper Eckert was an American engineer and computer pioneer who co-invented the first general-purpose electronic digital computer called the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) in the 1940s. Along with his colleague John W. Mauchly, Eckert made significant contributions to the development of modern computing technology.
