ANSWER:
The first electronic general-purpose computer, known as the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), was built between 1943 and 1945. It was designed by J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States. ENIAC was not a single integrated circuit-based computer but rather a massive machine comprising thousands of vacuum tubes, switches, and other components. It was used primarily for military calculations during World War II and was officially unveiled to the public in 1946.
