Digital computer development happened in several places at various times:

  1. London - 1830s Charles Babbage designs a mechanical digital Analytical Engine computer but does not build it.
  2. Cambridge - 1936 Alan Turing writes his paper "On Computable Numbers" which describes the Turing Machine, a hypothetical digital computer.
  3. Ames, IA - 1936 to 1942 John Vincent Atanasoff designs and builds electronic digital Atanasoff-Berry Computer with his graduate student Clifford Berry.
  4. Harvard - 1939 to 1942 Howard Aiken designs the electromechanical digital Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator computer and IBM builds it, following a disagreement between Aiken and IBM the machine is renamed the Harvard Mark I.
  5. Dollis Hill/Bletchley Park - 1943 to 1944 Tommy Flowers builds electronic digital Colossus computer, the first programmable electronic digital computer. A total of 10 of these machines are built, making it the first digital computer built in quantity before UNIVAC I in 1952. All but 2 are destroyed in 1945 after the end of the war with Germany and the project is kept classified until the early 1980s more than 2 decades after the remaining Colossus computers had also been destroyed.
  6. Berlin - 1936 to 1945 Konrad Zuse builds electromechanical Z3 computer. This machine is destroyed in an Allied bombing raid.
  7. Philadelphia, PA - 1943 to 1945 Eckert and Mauchly build electronic digital ENIAC computer, the first programmable electronic digital computer publically announced contemporaneously to its construction.
  8. After WW2 development spread rapidly to many locations.

False.


Who developed the first electronic digital computer?

John Vincent Atanasoff


True or false the first digital computer was developed for conducting the census?

False. The first digital computer, called the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC), was developed by John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry at Iowa State University in the 1930s for the purpose of solving systems of simultaneous equations. It was not specifically developed for conducting the census, although it did play a role in advancing computing technology and paved the way for future computer development.


Who created the very first computer?

This does not have a straightforward answer. The first digital computer was called the ABC computer developed by Atanasoff and Berry in 1942 but it was never fully functional. ABC stood forr Atanasoff-Berry Computer. A court judge named Atanasoff the inventor of the digital computer. The first working digitale computer was the ENIAC developed by Mauchly and Eckert in 1946. ENIAC stood for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Calculator.


How is a digital computer camera different from a film camera?

The digital computer camera does not require film to take pictures. Once a picture is taken, it can be downloaded onto a computer to view and print whereas a film camera would need to have their film developed.


How are digital photos developed on a printer?

Digital photos are stored as a series of 1s and 0s inside a digital camera or computer. This signal is decoded back into the photo and printed the same way a word document is printed.

How are pictures developed in modern photography techniques?

In modern photography techniques, pictures are developed using digital technology. Light is captured by a digital sensor in the camera, which then converts the light into electronic signals. These signals are processed by the camera's software to create a digital image file, which can be viewed and edited on a computer or printed out as a physical photograph.
