How much electricity did it take to power your first computers as compared to what it takes to run todays computers?
Pennycandyy
I do not know what it took to run the first computer but I do know that it has been cut in about 1/8 sence the invention of LED bulbs and smaller Transformers,if anyone can improve this answer please do

What were first generations computers like?
first generation computers were not fast and were less reliable.
What are the first generation computer?
First Generation computers were computers made out of Vaccum Tubes. They were soon rejected due to the extreme heat and electricity absorption.
When was the first Universal Power Supply Invented?
The first power supply was invented by Thomas Edison. It is unknown when exactly the first universal power supply for computers was invented.
What are theDifferences between DNA computers and silicon computers?
DNA provides many potential computing advantages compared to silicon. First, silicon is a limited resource, whereas DNA will be in constant supply as long as cellular organisms exist. Because DNA is readily available, it's cheap compared to silicon. Next, "biochips" made of DNA are eco-friendly, compared to the toxic materials required to manufacture silicon microprocessors. Finally, DNA computers would be much smaller than current computers.
When was the binary code first used?
world war 1 and to and things that use electricity like computers. If you take a game apart it will be just 1010101
Why first generation computers were not reliable?
It is not reliable because it generate a lot of heat and consumes high voltage of electricity. It is hand-wired which at anytime break
How is physics useful in todays society?
Physics is used in a number of industries Forensics for one. Though,more importantly was the major requirement for the inventions of most of the technologies we have in our lives today. without physics we would not have computers,planes,tvs,hoovers,washing machine,fridges,lightening,cars and lots more i.e we would not have a modern society if we didn't have any understanding of PHYSICS...........
When computers first came out did they do a lot?
The early first generation computers could do most of the things modern computers can do, and a few things modern computers can't. Their main limitations were very small memories (modern computers with gigabytes of RAM and terabytes of disk appear to have unlimited resources compared to the early machines) and slow speeds due to the large logic signal swings of vacuum tubes (sometimes up to 200V between low and high).
Write the key points of first generation computers?
First Generation computers were made out Vaccum Tubes. They required alot of Electricity and emitted a lot of heat. Vaccum Tubes were also needed to be replaced when it becomes really hot. So Vaccum Tubes were not very efficient or easy to handle.
Who was the first discover electricity?
Benjamin Franklin was the first to discover electricity.
Who is first credited with first understanding electricity?
Ben Franklin is first credited with understanding electricity.
Which one was invent firstly electricity or bulb?
electricity came first because Thomas's bulb used electricity so electricity came first.
