The first electronic computer invented was the Atanasoff Berry Computer. It was a special purpose computer designed only to solve simultaneous equations of up to 29 variables. The central concepts common in modern computers that it embodied were:
- Dynamic memory storage using refresh
- Separation of arithmetic unit from memory unit
- Binary twos-complement signed numbers
It was completed and operating in 1942. It was also the world's first vector/array processor, having a vector register length of 30 words 50 bits long and 2 vector registers. Vector registers are used in many supercomputers and high performance microprocessors to do the same operation on many different numbers at the same time.

∙ 13y agoThe Atanasof-Berry Computer was first electronic digital computer, but it was not general purpose, all it could do was solve simultaneous equations.
ENIAC was the first general purpose programmable electronic digital computer.

∙ 11y agoDepending on your exact definition of the words computer and invented, here are some possibilities:
- ABC - built by 1942, but special purpose not programmable
- Colossus - built in england during WW2 to help crack German high command Fish cyphers, not declassified until 1970s so generally unknown to the computing field
- ENIAC - built by 1945, limited memory programmable only by rewiring
- EDSAC - built in england by 1949
- EDVAC - invented before ENIAC was built but not itself built until 1951
- UNIVAC I - built by 1951, shown to public by CBS in 1952 election

- Colossus in 1943, first programmable
- ENIAC in 1945, first general purpose
- Manchester Baby in 1948, first stored program

Actually, the first computers, including UNIVAC, were analog, not digital.
