The Colossus computers used at Bletchley Park during World War II, for cryptanalysis purposes, are widely acknowledged as the first programmable digital computers.

Technically, the word 'computer' means 'one who computes', and doesn't refer to a machine, but rather people who were employed down the ages as 'computers' to decide on a persons tax liability.
