ENIAC was conceived and designed by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert of the University of Pennsylvania.
The first computer like ours first was invented by Charles Babbage.
Approximately 35,000 B.C
A small piece of the fibula of a baboon, marked with 29 clearly defined notches, may rank as the oldest mathematical artefact known. Discovered in the early seventies during an excavation of the Border Cave in the Lebombo Mountains between South Africa and Swaziland, the bone has been dated to approximately 35,000 B.C. In a description of the bone, Peter Beaumont, an archaeologist who has done extensive work on Border Cave, has noted that the 7.7 cm long bone resembles calendar sticks still in use today by Bushmen clans in Namibia.

The abacus was probably invented in the Middle East. In the West, from early Roman times, users calculated with a "table abacus" that involved manipulating coin-like discs, or "jetons," on lines drawn on a table or cloth. The table abacus remained in use in parts of Britain and northern Europe until the late 1600s.
In the East, several Asian civilizations used a technique similar to the table abacus until about 1200 AD when the more familiar wire and bead abacus was created in China. As late as 1946, the US Army newspaper Stars and Stripes sponsored a contest pitting a Japanese abacus against an electric calculator. The abacus won.

Charles Babbage developed the "Difference Engine," a mechanical device that could perform error-free calculation of polynomial functions. He completed only a small model before the British government withdrew funding, forcing him to abandon the project. Soon after, Swedish scientists Georg and Edvard Scheutz would complete a working version.

No, they had been invented but not for the use of private persons.
no not no
Apple Computers.
Revie Hopper invented the Name Toshiba in 1999.
No one knows for sure.
In 1675 Anton Van Leeuwenhoek did.
well the Greeks invented it, but the persons name is unknown.
No one person invented it. it originated from many different people as well as cultures.
not one person ivented the firework...Mcay.

It is hard to figure out who invented the firework because it was invented around 206 B.C. to 220 A.D.
Mike Dell invented Dell computers.
