Why are modern digital computer often referred to as stored program digital computer?
Because they store the programs they are running in the same memory as they store the data that those programs are working on.
Who is known as the father of modern digital programmable computer and why?
Charles Babbage because he invented the "Difference Engine."
What was the world's first computer?
The credit for the first programmable digital computer goes to Colossus which was an Allied WWII code-breaking machine at Bletchley Park. For other uses of the term computer besides the modern "digital computer" one, an earlier answer might apply. For additional information including a discussion of analog and mechanical computers, non-programmable digital computers, and the general history of machine computation, see the Wikipedia article on "Computer".
What is digital computer?
A computer that stores data in terms of digits (numbers) and proceeds in discrete steps from one state to the next. The states of a digital computer typically involve binary digits which may take the form of the presence or absence of magnetic markers in a storage medium (see memory), on-off switches or relays. In digital computers, even letters, words and whole texts are represented digitally. Unlike analog computers, digital computers can only approximate a continuum by assigning large numbers of digits to a state description and by proceeding in arbitrarily small steps.
ENIAC stands for?
A computer. ENIAC stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Calculator.The ENIAC was the first digital computer in the modern sense of the word, built in 1942-1945 in USA.
Is a desktop computer a type of analog computer?
No, your desktop computer is a digital computer as are virtually all modern computers.
What did George stibtz invent the computer?
is internationally recognized as one of the fathers of the modern first digital computer

Do digital cameras usually come with the cord that you need to plug it into your computer?
Yes -- particularly most modern digital cameras because the battery is often recharged via the same cable.

What is digital scale?
Digital scale is a electronic weighing devices that integrate with modern sensor technology, electronic technology and computer calculating technology. It is more accurate, more sensible, more convenient than traditional spring scale.
Is a computer a modern invention?
Yes, the computer as we know it today is a modern invention. The first electronic digital computer was developed in the mid-20th century and has since evolved significantly to become an integral part of modern society.
Was there a war when the computer was invented?
Most of the early work that lead to the modern programmable electronic digital computer was prompted by military needs in WW2. IBM was prompted into developing their first commercially available programmable electronic digital computer, the IBM 701, by the Korean War. The Cold War in general prompted many developments in miniaturization of digital computers, especially for military avionics and missile guidance systems. Any specific war you were thinking of?
How does modern work for computer?
you mean modem? MO-DEM MOdulation / DEModulation. It turns your digital signal into analog, so it can go thru the phone lines to your isp, and then from the phone lines to their server, it converts the analog signal back into digital.
