∙ 7y agoThey were often bulky taking up an entire room. They were highly inefficient because they ran on vacuum tubes that not only are responsible for size of these behemoth machines, but also tended to burn out extremely fast. So fast that they had dedicated works that would watch for a replace burned out vacuum tubes every hour.A huge portion of the expense went specifically towards maintaining the vacuum tubes. But at the time, these machines were huge advances and were the most powerful computers of their day. They were used to make solve many complex problems that ordinary human hands could not. With the realization of the power of computers, it spurred the continental advancement of computers to the little pocket size computer known as the smart phone. These smart phones easily surpass these first generation computer in computing power. in the future, these will also become obsolete giving way to even more smaller and more powerful computers.
