they were not that much powerful or you can say fast and they heat up very fast they need a fan as big as a room for only computer.

What were first generations computers like?
first generation computers were not fast and were less reliable.
Is mainframe computer is a multitasking computers?
As with all computers early mainframes did not multitask (early microcomputers did not multitask, early minicomputers did not multitask, early supercomputers did not multitask). Now almost all computers multitask. Multitasking has nothing to do with the size of a computer, it is almost entirely a software feature of the OS running on the computer.
Historically how has computers been used?
in the olden days they used computers to type and do math problems and that's it!!!! that's why today we are glad to have such advanced computers
Did the microchip lead to the development of personal computers?
No, microchips made missile guidance computers possible in the early 1960s. The microprocessor (a specific type of microchip containing a complete CPU) made microcomputers possible in the early 1970s and when microprocessors became powerful enough in the early 1980s, the first personal computers.
Information on computers that were developed in the early 1950s and 1960s?
god
Did old computers have sound?
no That is for early computers
Do early people use computers?
No computers weren't invented
When the large computer invented?
The same time as the early computers. They were large because their components (vacuum tubes) were large, not because they could handle large problems.
When were computers first found?
Computers were invented in the early to mid 1940s.
What were first generations computers like?
first generation computers were not fast and were less reliable.
What problems do programmers have when building a computer?

How do computers affect users?
Prolonged use can cause wrist/arm and back problems.
Computers are an example of what that helps people solve problems?
technology
More differences between early computers and modern computers?
Early Computers were large in size while today computers are compacted .Early Computers were Vaccum tube and transistor based while today computers are ICs based.Early Computers were slow and today computers are fast.Early Computers were used punch card for storage while today computers used Secondry storage ( Hard Disk) for storage.Early Computers were not user friendly todays computers are user friendly
