The computer was invented, not discovered. Discovery implies that it already existed before we became aware of it.
There is no single inventor of the computer, various people invented various calculating machines at various times until the equivalent of a "critical mass" was achieved and all the right pieces started coming together.
Also the answer to your question depends on your definition of "computer".

What does computers use to process data into information?
CPU Central Processing Unit.
Which generation computer first used multiprogramming?
The third generation of computers, which emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, first utilized multiprogramming. With the development of mainframes and time-sharing systems, these computers were capable of running multiple programs simultaneously, sharing the CPU's processing time among different tasks.
Did the microchip lead to the development of personal computers?
No, microchips made missile guidance computers possible in the early 1960s. The microprocessor (a specific type of microchip containing a complete CPU) made microcomputers possible in the early 1970s and when microprocessors became powerful enough in the early 1980s, the first personal computers.
What are the components of micro computers?
the invention of microprocessor (single chip cpu) gave birth to micro computers. they are several times cheaper that mini computers. classification of micro computers: 1.workstations 2.personal computers 3.laptop computers 4.palm PC's
How were computers 50 years ago to what they are now?
Computers 50 years ago weren't really "computers" as we know them. Mostly anything that used a CPU appeared more mechanical/electrical than a stand alone desktop or personal computer. (Things that used a CPU were machines that didn't look anything like computers) Now just look at your smart phone, or go check out the ipad (apple.com) Computers now give us a better picture of what is, what should have been and what will be.
When was the 1st CPU discovered?
The first complete CPU, the Intel 4004, was discovered November, 1971.
Do all computers, regardless of size, have a processingunit Why or why not?
yes, because you need a CPU for processing and powering the computer
The Intel x86 family of computers is based on what CPU?
cisc cpu
Can you plug your USB keyboard in any USB port on your CPU?
There are no USB ports on a computers CPU, I think you have CPU confused with the computers 'Tower' or as its correct name chassis. If so then yes.
Intel CPU For The Desktop?
When purchasing a desktop, it is a good ideal to check the specifications of the CPU. Standing for "central processing unit," the CPU operates as the "main brains" of the computer. This is where all major processing, the crunching of bits and bytes, takes place. The more powerful your CPU is, the better speeds at which the computer operates. Intel is the standard bearer of all CPU makers. It produced the first operative CPU for computers in 1979, the 8088, that allowed IBM to come out with the first series of personal computers, comprising the desktop, in the early 1980s.
What is the main circuit board in the computers?
cpu
Who manufactures the cpu for apple computers?
Intel
Do CPU run as a computer processing unit?
The CPU IS the computers processing unit as CPU stands for "Central Processing Unit"
What are the foundation of modern day computers?
The MotherBoard and CPU.
What is meant by the term CPU?
The CPU is at the heart of all computers. All data pass through it. The CPU is "the computing part of the computer. Also called the processor.
What can computers do now vs the first computers ever made?
This is a very good question, The very first actual computers made were designed to be programmed manually by swiches and tubes being changed very frequently unlike the most recent computers made which can be programmed by software being proccesed by its very own thinking device (the CPU). Yes we must write this program but the computer can actually conduct proccessing on its own with the CPU with just a few keystrokes or cliks.
What is in computers?
CPU, RAM, CPU chip, Motherboard, Proccessor, hardrive, cd/dvd drive, floppy drive, wires.
