The first computer, the abacus, dates back to 2700 - 2300 BC*.
The first modern computer was invented in 1936**.
Related Information:
* Evidence of this early abacus, binary and mechanical, was found in the ancient city of Sumer, Mesopotamia (now Baghdad, Iraq). The inventor is not known.
** Initially, in 1936, Konrad Zuse (1910 - 1955), a German Engineer, designed and constructed a programmable, mechanical computer that used binary code. Then in 1941 he invented the first electronic, digital, programmable computer, also using binary code. It was comprised of all the basic features of today's computers, with the exception of the capacity to store the program and data together (a feature that his work didn't require).

Is there computers in the 1940s?
No I don't think that there were computers in the 1940's TV's just started in the 50's if there were computers (which I highly doubt) thaey wouldn't be anything like today's computers. A little bit of searching will show that there were primitive computers. They were mostly mechanical analog computers rather than electronic digital devices like we have today. They were mostly used for computing bomb and rocket trajectories. Some very early electronic computers were built in England and the U.S. to help decode encrypted Axis messages.
