"the world's first digital computer"
The world's first electronic digital computer.
There have been mechanical digital computers for centuries. Dating back to at least the idea of a mechanical difference engine by Babbage.
And then there were many mechanical calculators - which are digital computers of a sort - you just use mechanical force to drive them.
Butt ENIAC (or other - this is CONtested) was/were the first programmable Turing-style general computers.
Hollerith might claim his card sorter was the first programmable digital computer though.
