That is very hard to say as it has many inventors and has been invented independently at many times and many places.

  • Many different computers (analog, mechanical) have been invented as far back as before 100BC.
  • Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine (digital, mechanical) was invented in 1840s but never built as he could not get funding to even begin work.
  • Vanevar Bush's Differential Analyzer (analog, electromechanical) was invented and built in 1930s.
  • John Vincent Atanasoff's ABC (digital, electronic) was invented in 1937, finished and working in early 1942, its design could easily have become the baseline for all future computers had not WW2 interrupted.
  • Konrad Zuse's Z3 (digital, electromechanical) was invented in 1941.
  • Many different computers (analog, electromechanical) were invented in the 1930s and 1940s.
  • John Mauchly & J. Presper Eckert invented ENIAC (digital, electronic) for the Army in 1942, finished and working in late 1945. Used to run a simulation of Edward Teller's "Classical Super" hydrogen bomb design in December 1945 through January 1946 (the simulation showed that that design could not be made to work, the problem being excessive radiation heat loss). Revealed to the public in February 1946. Architectural dead end computer.
  • Many different computers (analog, electronic) were invented in the 1940s through 1960s (including several hybrid aka analog/digital systems).
  • Digital Differential Analyzers (DDA) were invented in about 1949, they could solve differential equations with much greater accuracy than analog computers could and much faster than digital computers could (digital, electronic). However like most analog computers and ENIAC they were hard to reprogram for entirely new applications.
  • Computers took off so fast in the 1950s and later it is almost impossible to tabulate inventions associated with them.
