Yes. The first computer was built in the 1930s. The first personal computers hit the market in 1981.
IBM Corporation began using the term PC in 1981 with its XT home computer system. However, with the development of microprocessors in the late 1960s in the MIT community in Boston, MA, the first individual workstations were built. Brown University's Computer Lab also built functional PCs. Yet Apple Corporation created the first commercially successful PC in the 1970s.

The definition of the first personal computer (PC) depends on your definition of a PC. The early (mid 1970s) personal computers were often called micro-computers and came as a kit that you had to build yourself. In January 1977 Commodore launched their PET computer which would be recognised as a PC today. Apple followed with the Apple II in June 1977. The Apple II was probably the first computer to be advertised to the general public as a "personal computer". The IBM PC, the predecessor of the modern PCs running the Windows operating system, was launched in August 1981. The Windows operating system was launched in November 1985 following Apple's launch of the Macintosh in 1984.
