Invention of Computer Many encyclopedias say that the first computer was developed by Howard H. Aiken and his team in America in 1939-1944. It was a large-scale, program-controlled machine which could make a very complex (calculate). However, after World War II an important (discover) was made that the first computer was, in fact, made in Germany in 1941 by Konrad Zuce. Later he founded a company in order to build computers that could be used by an engineer or a (science). Konrad Zuce also developed the first real programming language, which shows an amazing (similar) to today’s most advanced computer languages. But the role of this man, who was years ahead of his time, is still (know) to many people.

Answer 2

Invention of Computer

According to many encyclopedias, the first computer was developed by Howard H. Aiken and his team in America between 1939 and 1944. It was a large-scale, program-controlled machine capable of performing complex calculations. However, after World War II, an important discovery was made that the first computer was actually created in Germany in 1941 by Konrad Zuse. He later founded a company to build computers that could be used by engineers or scientists. Konrad Zuse also developed the first real programming language, which bears similarities to today's most advanced computer languages. Despite being years ahead of his time, the role of Konrad Zuse is not widely known. It is possible that, for the 'official' history of computers, his association with the wrong side of World War II may have played a role in this lack of recognition.
