Yes, ENIAC was the first electronic digital computer (what most people refer to as "computers" today), however different sorts of mechanical computers had been developed before it.
However, ENIAC was NOT the 1st Programmable Electronic Computer! Colossus was a sophisticated programmable electronic computer developed by the Top Secret Code Breaking MK ULTRA at Bletchley Park (England's Secret Military Intelligence Decoding Unit). Colossus was built for the purposes of breaking NAZI radio transmission which had been encoded using the NAZI Lorenz cipher system. Sir Flower's First Colossus was up and running in England during 1941, about 2 years prior to invention of ENIAC. So, COLOSSUS was the world's first computer. * Colossus was the first ELECTRONIC computer. It was developed to crack the LORENZ codes the German high command was using (which was more difficult than Enigma). Until recently ENIAC was thought to be the first, but the secrecy of Colossus was finally lifted and we find it (and 9 others) were first operational in Jan 1944 while various portions of ENIAC were made operational in the period of June 1944 through October 1945.
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 first computer made in Pa. was the Eniac at the University of Pa. The first microcomputers was the Altair, an early computer kit. The first commercial microcomputer was the Commodore Vic 20 manufactured at West Chester, Pa.
The first desktop computer was probably the DEC PDP-8 minicomputer in 1965. It came in both desktop & rackmount versions. DEC was in Maynard, Massachusetts.
The contract for the first ENIAC system was signed on 5th June 1943 and it was constructed by John Mauchley and J. Eckert at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering from July, 1943. It was unveiled on February 14, 1946 at Penn, USA.ENIAC stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Calculator.The ENIAC was the first American digital computer in the modern sense of the word.
Perhaps your thinking of ENIAC, but no ENIAC was designed for calculating artillery firing tables.Both the Norden and Sperry analog computer bombsights preceded ENIAC, but they are electromechanical not electronic. I don't know when the first electronic computer bombsight was made, but remember the Nordens were still in use in the Vietnam war! You can't use tables for bombing, the calculations must be done in real-time.
That was a computer called ENIAC,but first machine was a calculator.
ENIAC , the first Electronic computer was made by some programmers in the U.S Army, if you are talking about the first calculating machine then it was built by Charles Babbage
