The IBM PC was introduced in August, 1981. Prior to that, there were several micro/personal computers introduced in 1977, including the Commodore Pet, the Apple II, and the TRS-80. The popularity of these computers, especially the Apple II, led to the development and introduction of the IBM PC.

The first actual computer was the abacus, invented several thousand years ago in China, and is still used today by many Chinese businesses.
The modern electronic computer was first developed at the beginning of the 20th century.
