Best Answer

Yes, Babbage invented the first fully automatic programmable digital computer. However his machine was entirely mechanical and he was never able to get supporters or funding to build it.

It took another century before the automatic programmable digital computer was reinvented, but this time it was electronic. The inventor Tommy Flowers, built 11 of them during WW2 between 1944 and 1945 for Bletchley Park to use for breaking the German "tunny" teletype cypher, but these machines were kept classified by the British until the late 1970s so are usually not in the history books. The people that most history books credit for the invention of the modern automatic programmable digital electronic computer worked on ENIAC but it is not known who in this group got the idea first, only that the idea came in early 1945.
