I think a clock isn’t a computer. A device that simply runs isn’t the same as a device that makes decisions i.e. a device with transistors (whether they be vacuum tubes or solid state or cogs).
ENIAC:1945, Collosus:1943/44, Z3:1941 - all programmable computers. ENIAC and Z3 were general purpose, Colossus was programmable but built with a specific purpose (codebreaking) in mind. Z3 was electromechanical, Colossus and ENIAC vacuum tube based.

While Babbage was centuries ahead of his time, he was never able to produce a fully working Difference Engine, due to costs. By 1842 he had spent £17,000 ($2 million USD today) and only produced a machine that covered 1/7th of his total plan, the cost of the rest was unpredictable so the government abandoned it.
The abacus was the first computer. Or a single lever. Computers are basically just loads of levers that are pulled in some sequence based on some rules
I can’t believe there are clever people who have made working computers inside Minecraft, a game within a computer, that’s just mind boggling to me. I play Minecraft but I don’t understand red-stone which is at the heart of creating a computer inside a game inside a computer.
The word computer used as a job description often used to describe the job of mathematics workers doing calculations on cranked calculators, it was used by the war departments and at Nasa, its in a few movies too.
3:20 I recall this is "Inertial navigation". Even with modern tech, there's tendency to drift without supporting technology like in cruise missiles, where the Tomahawks launched against Iraq weren't guided by GPS at first and they had to travel through mountains so they have the topographical data so it doesn't get lost in the featureless desert. Also, the Mi-24 Hind has a dynamic paper map which moves along with your location, but constantly drifts so you'll have to make adjustments using landmarks if it drifts too far.
A general-purpose "Computer" is a computational device that is Turing-complete in a practical way. The first computer constructed was the ENIAC and the first computer to be designed was the Analytical Engine by Charles Babbage in 1837.
I was quite surprised when I learned just how advanced the firecontroll system was on Iowa-class battleships. While the main battery computers are limited to "2 dimensional" targetting, I think even they do adjust for the curvature of Earth. And then the secondary battery computers are able to plot targets in full 3d, for use in anti-aircraft mode... Needles to say, even 5" gun battery is rather heavy to use against aircraft, and the 16 inch main guns simply too much, wich is why it makes sense to use only 2d targetting for main battery. But the way the battleships are constructed, allmost anything can be rerouted to use anything that works to keep fighting as long as even one thing does work. I mean I honestly thought they would be spinning some cranks and maybe having some sort of a cheatsheet where they could find how far their shots would land at a given elevation angle... But no, they actually even have sensors to detect the rolling of the ship. If I remember right the way it works (default mode) is once the trigger is pressed, it basically does nothing, untill the ship is level and then fires. So it was actually rather advanced setup long before the 80's.
Entirely possible that much more complicated devices than the Antikythera mechanism existed since that belonged to a ship captain, just imagine what scholars had access to, and considering that stealing statues for their metals was commonplace in antiquity, it's not inconceivable that many such 'computers' were destroyed or looted. Also there is an ancient technology museum in the town of Katakolo Greece where an engineer has recreated many of the Greeks' inventions, a rudimentary proto steam engine, Archimedes alarm clock, giant ballista's, construction equipment, a mechanical pedestal like contraption that was thought to roll around in the agora's of old and play a little song and show with tiny puppets. They sell both a simple and complex recreation of the Antikythera too.
The Imitation Game is a great movie. It revolves around the first computer and the Enigma machine. What I wish it also had was a more in depth explainer on the invention of the Turing test for AI.
I think the first computer on Earth was the first multi-celled organism: since bioelectricity moving through ion channels in living cells is perfectly analogous to logic gates with transistors

Going into the 20th century you got fire control computers. Doing long range gunfights between battleships is hard as both are moving. So they made analog computers for this, into WW 2 they got better even including radar data not only for target but the shell impacts. Then they reactivated the Iowa battleships in the 80's these computers was just as accurate as the digital ones who replaced them. Yes the digital ones was much much cheaper, its not an refrigerator sized box of Swiss clockwork cogs but an six pack sized device you could add to any gun. But not more accurate. Today its not true as you have more data,
I mean, technically as soon as there was someone doing computations, there was a computer, since that is the origin of the term. The first computers were people. The term 'electrical computer' eventually wore down to just 'computer' and everyone forgot that it was a term originally ascribed specifically to humans. It's kind of like the word alien, which also specifically referred to humans. 'Space aliens' being coined to refer to foreign visitors from space. This term eventually wore down to alien, and now people get offended at the term 'illegal alien', because they are ascribing the connotation of non-human to the word, even though it was coined specifically to refer to human visitors from another country.
You must be Antikythera newbs. It was a Roman ship returning home, laden with Greek plunder. You didn't even come close to doing the mechanism justice. The mathematics required to construct that thing showed a deep understanding of the observable movements of the heavenly bodies, the math behind them, and a profound skill at manufacturing. Plus, "Ancient" tends to mean before 500-600 CE. So, the Antikythera mechanism is the only ancient thing you've talked about. From there you should have gone straight to the punch card reading Texas Instruments calculators of the late 70's, with the red led display...
