Your question is flawed -- after something has been invented, no one else can "invent" it.

But, for more information on the history and origins of computers, see this link:

* This is an impossible question to answer on this board because components that lead up to the computer (as we know it today) were dated over 100 years or more ago. If you look at most history books, they'll tell you ENIAC (for Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first true all-purpose electronic computer. Unveiled in 1946 in a blaze of publicity, it was a monstrous 30-ton machine, as big as two semis and filled with enough vacuum tubes (19,000), switches (6,000) and blinking lights to require an army of attendants. Capable of adding 5,000 numbers in a second, a then unheard of feat, it could compute the trajectory of an artillery shell well before it landed (compared with days of labored hand calculations).

About 1946, but it took up a whole room and took hours to do calculations tiny calculators can now do in milla-seconds.
