That depends on what you consider the first computer:

  • ABC: vacuum tubes, gas thyratrons, resistors, capacitors, a motor, brush contacts, IBM punch card read unit, electromechanical counter output unit, sharp metal spark terminals, etc.
  • Harvard Mark I: relays, magnetic clutches, electromechanical counters, paper tape readers, etc.
  • Colossus: vacuum tubes, gas thyratrons, photomultipliers, resistors, capacitors, a motor, paper tape pulleys, programming plugboards, etc.
  • ENIAC: vacuum tubes, resistors, rotary switches, toggle switches, programming cables, programming connectors, etc.
  • etc.
