Question

Who invented the first computer?

Answer 1

The first 'computer', per se, was invented by Charles Babbage in the 1820s. The "Difference Engine", as it was called, was a mechanical computer which aided navigational calculations. The first computer programmer was Ada Lovelace, who, around the 1840s, worked on Babbage's Engine.

Answer 2

I was going to say the first computer was fingers. But your answer is probably better.

Answer 3

Thank you both :)
