ENIAC was designed for one purpose and one purpose only. The human computers at the Army's BRL at Aberdeen were totally overwhelmed computing firing tables for all the new models of Artillery and new conditions in which they operated in during WW2. ENIAC was supposed to do these calculations faster. Work began in 1942 but it was not completed until late 1945, so it was not able to contribute to the war. Its first big problem was simulation of Teller's "Classical Super" fusion bomb from December 1945 through January 1946, which showed that it could not work due to excessive radiative heat loss.
The ENIAC has 17,468 vacuum tubes. These tubes were the first technology that made computers function. Modern computers do not use this technology.
The very first computer was the Abacus, invented in 3,000 B.C. For a history of the modern computer, use Google Search and type in Computer History.
the Z1 was created by Conrad Zuse in 1936, its considered to be the first electro mechanical binary programmable computer
The first commercial computer was invented in 1964 by Engineer Pier Giorgio Perotto of Olivetti. The device was named Programma 101.
No, the computer was not invented in 1959. However, a major computer supplier, Hitachi, was founded and Robert Noyce's creation of the integrated circuit happened this year.
The first electronic computer was invented in 1946 at the University of Pennsylvania. It is called ENIAC.

The first Computer was build in US and was called ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer) In the Year 1946.
The project began in 1943, was finished in 1945, was demonstrated in 1946, was significantly upgraded in 1948.
The first computer was invented in 1945 by John W. Mauchly Jr., J. Presper Eckert Jr., and J.G. Brainerd. It was an Electronic Numerator Integrator Analyzer and Computer (ENIAC) and was called the Giant Brain. Charles Babbageâ??s Analytical Engine was considered to be the first computer. But the original device was never built by him.
The Hollerith computer card was invented in 1890.

ENIAC was never sold, it was built to order on a cost plus wartime Army contract. The original estimated cost to build ENIAC in the contract was roughly $50,000, however by the time it was finished the final cost was over $500,000. About a year after completion, ENIAC was dissembled and shipped to the BRL Aberdeen where it was used for about a decade. The Army owned it from the day the contract was signed until it was retired.
