Best Answer

Charles Babbage designed a programmable mechanical computer that he called "The Analytical Engine" in 1837 but it was never built.

In May 1941, Konrad Zuse then built an electromechanical "Z machine" known as the Z3 that was capable of binary math, floating point operations, and some measure of programmability. Konrad Zuse is also known for starting the first computer company in 1946.

The first digital computer is usually considered ENIAC which came in 1946. It was the first digital computer that could be reprogrammed as needed. ENIAC was built to calculate the artillery firing tables for the Ballistic Research Laboratory of the United States.

ENIAC contained 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, 1500 relays, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, and 5-million hand-soldered joints to weigh in at 27 tons.

The MODERN computer

The modern computer was designed by John von Neumann whos architecture could be implimented to create a stored-program digital computer. That is, a computer with RAM, a CPU, and a programmable input. This was a huge step over systems like ENIAC that had to be rewired to make changes.

The first working von Neumann machine was the Manchester "Baby", or Small-Scale Experimental Machine, built in 1948.
