Though many would say that Charles Babbage invented the computer, the truth is that there are many who were involved in the inventions and have contributed to the growth of the computer to what it is now.
The first computer (Z1) has been believed to have been developed in the year 1936 by Konrad Zuse and this was the very first of its kind that could be completely programmed. Although there were many devices before the Z1, there was no other that could be programmed and set the Z1 apart from the other electronic devices. The business aspect of computers and commercialization took place only by 1942 and the very first computers company called ABC Computers was operated and owned by two brothers.
Computer users have many uses for the computer, which has evolved from being just an electronic device to a man's best friend, and the invention of the Internet in 1969 only strengthened its uses even further.
