In what decade was the computer invented?

The concept of the computer began to take shape in the 1940s with the development of electronic computers. The first programmable digital computer, the Z3, was completed in 1941 by Konrad Zuse. However, the more widely recognized early computers, such as the ENIAC, were developed in the United States in the mid-1940s. Thus, the 1940s is considered the decade when modern computers were invented.
