What advantage over vacuum tubes did transistors represent in computer design?
From an audio amplifier standpoint, transistors were primarily low-voltage, high current devices. Since loudspeakers were typically low-impedance, the transistorized circuit didn't require a transformer to help match the impedance; i.e. they were better matched. However, when a transistor "saturated" it "clips" abruptly, causing harmonics at the output. Vacuum tubes tended to "soft clip' which reduced the undesirable harmonics. From another standpoint, transistors were smaller in size, didn't require high voltage power supplies, and dissipated less heat (i.e. more efficient).
Why did the transistor revolutionize the computer industry?
because they were very fast and smaller in size which helped in developing computer with great speed and in reducing computer sizes and also because they are smaller in size less power consumption was there and also they took very less time to activate unlike the ancient computers.
Who made the first commercially available electronic computer?
Remington Rand made the first commercial computer called the UNIVAC in 1951. There first customer was the U.S. Census Bureau. It had over 50 thousand vacuum tubes (transistors were not yet invented).
What are the advantages of TTL over DTL?
because the amplifying function are performed by transistors (contrast with RTL and DTL).

Why were vacuum tubes used in first generation computers?
I did't find anywhere that it was when I researched it. Over 99% of computers built from 1940 to 1958 used vacuum tubes as their active elements for: logic, power supply, memory sense/drive, etc. circuits. Other computers at this time were electromechanical, magnetic, and a small number of experimental transistor computers were built. From 1959 to about 1965 most computers used transistors as their active elements for: logic, power supply, memory sense/drive, etc. circuits. A small number off computers at this time were magnetic or used primitive monolithic ICs. From 1964 on more and more computers used ICs, of progressively increasing density.
Uses or function of vacuum tube in the circuit?
The simplest answer to that question is: Vacuum tubes were originally used to perform every function now handled by transistors. The transistor was a big improvement over the vacuum tube because in order to perform those functions, a vacuum tube needs two power supplies, including one at a comparitively high voltage, it occupies a comparitively ridiculous amount of space, and radiates a comparitively ridiculous amount of heat. When vacuum tubes were still the only way to go, there were no portable radios smaller than a Chicago phone-book, and most of their weight was made up of several heavy batteries.

What are the advantages of a stick vacuum over a regular one?
A stick vacuum has the advantage over a regular vacuum in different ways. A stick vacuum is usually cheaper than a regular one, and a stick vacuum is primarily use for smaller jobs instead of bringing the bigger and heavier vacuum.
