who actually invented the first computer?
who invented the first program for it to run?

i know bill gates had something to do with it?
 
The first computer was the ENIAC built in 1946. It was a vacuum tube powered computer that was the size of a room. It performed 5000 operations per second (modern PCs perform a couple billion operations per second)

JJB6486
 
It was originally invented to perform complex calculations for the US Army, so they could aim their weapons more accurately. The computer was so innefficient, Phillidelphia had brown-outs when it was in opperation.
 
brown out

They are localized power shut downs used to direct electricity to certain locations.
 
It's like when yer TV kinda blinks. Or the Lights flicker. Some times it's enough to reset the electric clocks in yer home. Not good for 'Puter.
