What were the names of the first three computers?In: Computer History |
[Edit] |
The answer to this depends on what you mean by computer; but the earliest programmable computers were "Difference Engines" - this was in the mid-19th Century.
Babbage simply called the machines difference engines.
The first electronic computer was probably Colossus (built in 1943/44 to decode German codes).
ENIAC was built in 1944; until the disclosure of the wartime work at Bletchley Park, this was considered the earliest electronic computer.
