Who made the first electronic computer?

Answer 1

Several electronic analog computers were made in the 1930s.

The first electronic digital computer was the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) in early 1942, it worked (except for intermittent problems in the high speed "card" reader/punch) but was abandoned soon after when the two people working on it left for war work.

The next electronic digital computer was the Colossus a prototype of which was built in December 1943 and the first production unit went into operation in June 1944 just in time to crack critical German messages that were used by the Allied generals to commit to the D-Day landings despite very bad weather conditions. Unfortunately these computers (the only ones built in a quantity greater than one until Univac in 1952) remained classified until the early 1980s and so do not appear in most histories of computing.

The first well known electronic digital computer was the Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer (ENIAC) in November 1945 and announced to the public in February 1946.

Answer 2

Charles Babbage, I think

No, Babbage failed to make any computer. The only computer he designed was the Analytical Engine, it was 100% mechanical. Electronics did not even exist in Babbage's time.

The first electronic computer built was made by John Vincent Atanasoff & Clifford Berry @ Ames, IA. It was called the ABC and could do 30 additions or subtractions per second operating on 50 bit binary numbers. It was not programmable.

Answer 3

Originally, the term "computer" referred to a person who performed numerical calculations, often with the aid of a mechanical calculating device or analog computer. Examples of these early devices, the ancestors of the computer, included the abacus and the Antikythera mechanism, an ancient Greek device for calculating the movements of planets, dating from about 87 BC. The end of the Middle Ages saw a reinvigoration of European mathematics and engineering, and Wilhelm Schickard's 1623 device was the first of a number of European engineers to construct a mechanical calculator. The abacus has been noted as being an early computer, as it was like a calculator in the past. ENIAC, short for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer, was the first large-scale, electronic, digital computer capable of being reprogrammed to solve a full range of computing problems, although earlier computers had been built with some of these properties. ENIAC was designed and built to calculate artillery firing tables for the U.S. Army's Ballistics Research Laboratory. The contract was signed on June 5, 1943 and Project PX was constructed by Penn's Moore School of Electrical Engineering from July,1943. It was unveiled on February 14, 1946 at the University of Pennsylvania, having cost almost $500,000. ENIAC was shut down on November 9, 1946 for a refurbishment and a memory upgrade, and was transferred to the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland in 1947. There, on July 29 of that year, it was turned on and would be in continuous operation until 11:45 p.m. on October 2, 1955.
