The first electronic computer, the Atanasoff Berry Computer, was invented because Doctor John Vincent Atanasoff at the University of Iowa in Ames Iowa had too many large difficult to solve systems of simultaneous equations. The machine was invented one night in a bar in Indiana where Atanasoff had gone to get away and the ideas started coming together. It was built between 1939 and 1942. Atanasoff designed it to solve systems of simultaneous equations of up to 29 variables, because this would handle most of his problems without having to make the machine too big (it came out about the size of an office desk).
To relieve mankind of endless, tedious, error-prone computation.
However it created the new task of endless, tedious, error-prone programming and debugging.
Sometimes seems like even tradeoff...
The Computer was invented to make life so much better so that we can accomplish normal day things just a lot faster so that is why the computer was invented. Dont ask that question again it was a bad one.
to inprove on database handling i belive but then it was used to store info on 'disks'
the first computer named the eniac it was developed to help the united states during World War 2.
Probably because we wanted a quicker, easier way to do things for the average lazy American!
Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, was the first general-purpose electronic computer.
The first electronic and digital computer is the Mark 1 Machine (also known as "Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator").
ENIAC, in in 1946
Z3, an electromechanical programmable computer was invented in Berlin. ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic computer was invented at the University of Pennsylvania.
The inventor of the electronic general purpose computer is widely acknowledged to be Alan Turing. Turing conceptualized the idea of a universal computing machine and played a crucial role in the development of the first electronic computer, the Colossus, during World War II. His theoretical work also laid the foundation for modern computer science.

Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC), the world's first general purpose computer. Designed by a professor at University of Pennsylvania
ENIAC, an acronym for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, was the first reprogrammable general purpose digital electronic computer. The machine was designed and constructed to calculate artillery firing tables for the Ballistic Research Laboratory of the U.S. Army. A link to the Wikipedia article on the ENIAC is provided.
designed ENIAC, the first general purpose electronic digital computer, as well as EDVAC, BINAC and UNIVAC I, the first commercial computer made in the United States.
1942, both the special purpose electronic digital Atanasoff Berry Computer at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa and the general purpose electromechanical programmable digital Harvard Mark i computer at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts were finished and were first used.
