Charles Babbage invented Computer.
i don't know sorry i was not present that time :)
This question does not necessarily have an answer because there have been many different creations that fit under the definition of computer. However it is accepted that Charles Babbage is the father of the first computer and that was the Analytical Engine, which was not what a computer is today and did not use the Von Neumann architecture, but it could store memory and was programable.

Hi,
Personally I think that it is not easy to give a true answer since many scientists and researchers contributed to the invention of this device. We can suggest that (inter alia) Dupont de Nemours was one of its great theoreticians.
Best,

THE CINNAMON CHALLENGE! D:
CHARLES BABBAGE(1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed. Difference Engine No. 2, built faithfully to the original drawings, consists of 8,000 parts, weighs five tons, and measures 11 feet long.
We invite you to learn more about this extraordinary object, its designer Charles Babbage and the team of people who undertook to build it. Discover the wonder of a future already passed. A sight no Victorian ever saw.
An identical Engine completed in March 2008 is on display at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.

A previous post suggested that many people contributed to inventing the computer. John Vincent Atanasoff should get some of the credit.

One might say that Tom Watson, the CEO of IBM, invented the computer because he focused his entire organization to that end.

The first 'computer', per se, was invented by Charles Babbage in the 1820s. This computer was the "Difference Engine #1". The first computer Programmer was Ada Lovelace, who, in the 1840s, worked on Babbage's Engine. The first use of 'punch cards' to control an operation was the Jacquard Loom, invented in 1801 by Joseph Marie Jacquard to control textile manufacturing. This could be considered the first computer. There is the Programma 101, which was a desktop calculator created by the Olivetti company. The first PC with a GUI was the Xerox Alto, created by Xerox. The first Mac with a GUI was the Apple II, and the first well known one after that was the IBM 5150.
Babbage, Lovelace, Jacquard, Olivetti, Xerox, Macintosh, and IBM all contributed to the invention of the computer.
It was a team effort, so to speak.
The first computer was invented by Charles Babbage in the 1820s.
The first electronic digital computers were developed between 1940 and 1945 in the United Kingdom and United States. Originally, they were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers.
