question 2: what was the name of the first person who invented the computer? Strictly speaking, it is difficult to define who invented the computer.
Here are some related materials:
The original meaning of puter is "calculator", that is to say, human beings will invent computers, with the initial purpose of helping to deal with complex digital operations. The concept of manual calculator can be traced back to Pascal, a great French thinker in the 17th century. Pascal's father served as the director of taxation. At that time, the currency system was not decimal, which was very troublesome in calculation. Pascal invented the first calculator that can perform addition and subtraction by using the gear principle to assist his father. Later, the German mathematician Leibniz improved it and invented a calculator that can do multiplication and division. After that, although the function of the calculator was improved and refined, the real electric calculator had to wait until 1944.
Pascal has always been recognized as the inventor of the first gear computer in the world, and he is extremely proud of this achievement. But before Pascal was invented, the German mathematician Kasher had designed and manufactured a 6-digit gear computer. Kasher is a famous oriental linguist and mathematician. He also has a deep study of astronomy. He is often trapped in a large number of data calculations and is exhausted by complicated calculations. The problems in reality prompted him to create a new effective calculation tool to reduce the heavy burden of calculation. In 1623, he began to conceive the design, made a prototype in the same year, and made some improvements later. The principle of this computer is similar to Pascal's, and it is also prone to failure during use. Historically, people know little about the computer invented by Kasher, and its social impact is very small. It was not until 1958 that people learned about his invention of gear computer in relevant historical materials. Therefore, when talking about the first invention of gear-type computer, we can't help but mention Casher. In fact, Casher was the first inventor of the gear computer.
The first machine that can really be called a computer was born in the United States in 1946. It was invented by Mao Qili and Eckert, and its name was ENIAC. This computer uses vacuum tubes to process signals, so it is huge (occupying a room) and consumes high power (everyone in the town knows when it is used, because the lights in every household are dimmed! ), and the memory capacity is very low (only more than 1 words), but it is already a great progress in human science and technology. And we usually call this kind of computer using vacuum tube the first generation computer.
The first generation of computers were as big as two classrooms, which is much smaller than the personal computers we usually use now. At that time, the computer part was a vacuum tube (now it can't be found) and the archived thing was a punched card. Without the design concept of predecessors and the invention of computers, it is still difficult to define who invented computers.

Question 3: Who invented the first computer in the world? Who invented the first electronic computer in the world? The inventors of electronic computers mentioned in China's textbooks, most academic works and scientific popularization works are not real inventors. The real inventor is American John? Professor Atanasoff.
According to most books, American Hungarian scientist Feng? John Von Neumann (193-1957) is the inventor of electronic computer, and he has always been known as "the father of electronic computer". But, Feng? Neumann himself does not consider himself "the father of electronic computers". American physicist, once worked as Feng in Los Alamos Laboratory? Frankl, Neumann's assistant, wrote in a letter: "Many people recommend Feng? Neumann is the' father of computers', but I'm sure he never contributed to this mistake himself. Perhaps he can be properly called a midwife. But he once told me, and I'm sure he also told others, that the basic concept of computer belongs to Turing if the related concepts put forward by Babbage, Ada and others earlier are not considered. In my opinion, Feng? Neumann's basic function is to make the world know the basic concepts introduced by Turing. " It's Feng? Neumann himself personally transferred the title of "the father of computers" to the British scientist Alan? Turing (Alan M. Turing, 1912-1954). However, the real "father of computers" is neither Feng? Neumann, not Alan? Turing
before 1973, most people in the American computer field believed that the inventors of electronic computers were J. Mauchiy and P. Acott of Moore School of Electrical Engineering, University of Pennsylvania, because they were the developers of the first electronic computer ENIAC (Eniac) with great practical value.
It is now recognized by the international computer community that the real inventor of the first electronic computer was John of the United States? Vincent? John V. Atanasoff (193-1995). He is called "the father of electronic computer" in the international computer field. Unfortunately, most people in China's computer industry don't know this fact.
As to who is the real inventor of the electronic computer, the relevant persons in the United States, Atanasov, Mochili and Acott, once fought a protracted lawsuit, and the court held 135 hearings. Finally, a local court in the United States made a judgment. On October 19, 1973, the court announced the verdict in public: "Mochili and Acott did not invent the first computer, but only used the idea invented by Atanasov." The reason is that Atanasov told Mochili, the inventor of ENIAC, his thoughts on electronic computers as early as 1941.
J. Atanasoft is a professor of physics at the University of Iowa. Atanasov is a graduate student in Clifford? The electronic computer was invented with the help of Clifford E. Berry (1818-1963).
the first experimental prototype of an electronic computer was put into operation in October 1939. This computer helps professors and graduate students at the University of Iowa to solve some complicated mathematical equations. Atanasov named this machine ABC(Atanasoff- Berry-puter), where A and B take the first letters of their surnames respectively, and C is the first letter of "computer".
After the birth of the first electronic computer, Atanasov and Berry did not get the inventor's wreath.
Before Atanasov and Berry left, two improved ABC computers were able to run. These two ABC computers were stored in the storage room of the physics building of the University of Iowa and gradually forgotten. In 1946, due to material shortage, both machines were dismantled and the parts were used for other purposes, leaving only the memory parts. University of Iowa did not apply for a patent for ABC computer, which brought a long-lasting legal dispute to the invention right of electronic computer. The ruling of the U.S. District Court is correct, because the inventor of ENIAC, Mocheli, did visit the ABC computer at the University of Iowa and listened to Atanasov's introduction, which inspired him.
Atanasov was born in Hamilton, Maryland, USA on October 4th, 193. He spent his childhood in Florida. His father, a Bulgarian national, won the highest-level science prize in Bulgaria, and went to ....................................................................................................................................................... >
Question 4: Who invented the computer? To be exact, the current computer network was not invented by someone, because the original intention of their invention was not that the computer in the present sense was a copy of the national defense network of the United States. The computer is not powerful, but the Internet is powerful. The first personal computer was produced by ibm, the United States, and the computer came into being. Of course, having a computer doesn't work. The most important thing that can make the computer run is that the operating system has been cooperated with Bill Gates since ibm, and now more than 99% of users in the world use Microsoft system. Now the computer is a combination of hardware+software+Internet, and one of them is waste.
