Technically speaking, the Chinese were the first inventors of the computer called the Abacus around 500 B.C.
The first mechanical computer was the analytical engine developed by Charles Babbage in London.
The first electrically driven computer was developed by the U.S.

America invented nerf and the A-Bomb. They each get much different results when used, but both are neat to use on people. And I'd also like to think France for the french fry, it would top my list if it was invented in America:(

Oíche Shamhna (Halloween) comes from the time when Ireland and Scotland was the one nation - they can no more lay claim to inventing it as they can whiskey, the only thing they invented is the miss spelling of itCameronPoe wrote:

"Microwave Ovens
Microwave ovens were a direct offshoot of the development of the magnetron in 1940. The magnetron is a device that produces electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of about 5 inches. Its first application was in radar."
Most inventions are debatable anyway e.g. TV
