1930-1940

American physicist John Atanasoff built the first rudimentary electronic computer in the late 1930s and early 1940s, although for several decades afterward credit for the first electronic computer went to the scientists who assembled the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) for the United States military by 1945. Danish physicist Allan Mackintosh recounts in a Scientific American article how Atanasoff first conceived of the design principles that are still used in present-day computers.

When was the computer discovered?

The computer was not discovered, it was invented. It was a long process of invention for the computer as we know it today. First generation: (post World War II) Digital computers were enormous, developed mainly in the U.S. and used vacuum tubes. Second generation: (around 1960) Computers then used transistors; these were the first successful commercial computers. Third generation: (late 1960s and 1970s) These were characterized by using integrated circuits and miniaturizing components. Fourth generation: (1974) The microprocessor chip defined these computers, which resemble our computers today.
