There are many tasks that computers do that had to be done by hand before the existence of computers. Tasks such as file keeping, writing, and record keeping all used to be done by hand at home and at one's job.

And then there was the slide rule. My first semester as a math/science major I had to take a full semester class in the use of the slip stick. You could tell the math and engineering majors on campus by the slide rule we all had hanging in holsters on our belts.

Was the first computer invented before the first television computer invented before the first television?
The first commercially available TV was sold by RCA in 1939. It received up to 5 channels (VHF 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 -- we no longer have channel 1 but 2 to 5 are the same). Sales were stopped in 1941 due to the start of WW2. Analog computers of both mechanical and electronic types were available before this. Digital computers of both electromechanical and electronic types were not available until after this. Both were roughly 3 orders of magnitude more expensive than the top of the line RCA TV of 1939 through 1941. The very first invention of a TV was just before WW1 but they were mechanical and not practical to build and sell. The very first known invention of an analog computer was around 100 BC, but it was mechanical. The very first invention of a digital computer was in the 1830s by Babbage, but it was mechanical and he was never able to build it.

Why is mainframe used in programs?
A mainframe is just a physically very large computer, it is programmed no differently than minicomputers and microcomputers. All computers were mainframe computers before the early 1960s (because of the size of vacuum tubes and the first discrete transistors), when discrete transistors and then integrated circuits made possible the smaller minicomputers. In 1971 Intel introduced the microprocessor integrated circuit making the even smaller microcomputers possible.
