What generation was vacuum tubes used?
first generation computers
What generation computers used vacuum tubes?
FIRST GENERATION
What are computer tubes used for?
Computer tubes, also known as vacuum tube computers are programmable computers that uses vacuum tube logic circuitry. They were used to solve computational problems much like modern day computers.
Why were the ABC and ENIAC considered first generation computers?
They are first generation computers because they used vacuum tubes as active elements, as did almost all computers until 1958 when the first generation is usually considered to have ended. From 1958 on most computers used discrete transistors as active elements until 1964.Note: ABC & ENIAC are both very early first generation computers as they used ordinary Radio receiver vacuum tubes, not the more expensive Computervacuum tubes that were introduced about 1948 to 1949. The later Computer vacuum tubes were custom redesigned versions and were far more reliable than ordinary Radio vacuum tubes had been.
Was a Microcomputer part of the first generation?
no, first generation computers used vacuum tubes.
What kind of technology did the early computers use?
The same vacuum tubes used in radios.
What was the first electronic device used as a switch in the first digital computers?
vacuum tubes
Who is the first generation of computers?
vacuum tubes
Did Alan Turing made the vacuum tubes computers?
No, he had to use mechanical gears, etc. because they were the only device technology available in his time. Electric relays were first developed about 15 years after he designed his computer, while vacuum tubes were first developed about 90 years after he designed his computer.
What were Vacuum tubes used for?
Vacuum tubes were used back in the 19th century and mid-20th century for a number of things. At first they were used just in scientific areas, but then they were used as electronic amplifiers. They were eventually used in the first computers.
Why were the vacuum tubes used instead of transistors in early computers?
Early transistors were much slower and far more expensive than vacuum tubes. Also computers built before 1948 there were no transistors to use at all.
What is the Size and speed of vacuum tubes computers?
8inchs
