When was the 1st computer invented?
The first computers were created in the early 1800s. Charles Babbage designed two machines, the Analytical Engine and the Difference Engine, which could be programmed to perform specific tasks. However, these machines were never completed. In 1937, John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry developed the first electronic computer, the Atanasoff-Berry Computer. However, this machine was not actually built until 1973. In 1941, Konrad Zuse designed and built the first programmable computer. The first computers were large, expensive, and used vacuum tubes.
