Computers in the 1960s were huge, heavy machines that took up entire rooms in air-conditioned buildings. (Think of rows and rows of refrigerators filling up a hall)
Expanded AnswerIn the sixties, computers were huge, but more huge (huger?) than the previous answer allows. Catch "A Touch Of Mink" on TMC or AMC some time. (Stars Doris Day and Cary Grant; MARVELOUS!) You'll see a fair representation of a "computerized" business of the day. Keep in mind that the machines that Doris Day sabotages, the ones that malfunction, are merely terminals; they're just card readers, and the actual computers are in many more cabinets spread all over the building. Additional ExpansionLarge computers looked like rooms full of lockers, som had glass/acrylic doors behind which you could see tape drives (reels of magnetic tape that rotated jerkily to get to the data on the tape).There were very few small computers but one was the Olivetti Programma 101 (Google that to find pictures of it) a desktop computer that looked like a cross between a calculator and a typewriter.
Super old and not worth looking at. If you have ever seen Terminator 3, at the end it shows some pretty old computers, if you look at those then you get the idea.
Early computers used vacuum tubes versus today's solid state devices. They were very large, often occupying entire floors of big buildings. Do a Google search for Univac.
The following information is from Wikipedia;
UNIVAC I used 5,200 vacuum tubes,[4] weighed 29,000 pounds (13 metric tons), consumed 125 kW, and could perform about 1,905 operations per second running on a 2.25 MHz clock. The Central Complex alone (i.e. the processor and memory unit) was 4.3 m by 2.4 m by 2.6 m high. The complete system occupied more than 35.5 m² of floor space.
They were huge and took a whole building to fit in.

Because of dramatic improvements in computer components and manufacturing, personal computers do more than the largest computers of the mid-1960s at a fraction of the cost.
integrated circuit computer or microprocessor
No, a laptop is a kind of digital computer. Analogue computers used operational amplifiers in feedback loops to simulate dynamic systems such as aircraft. They began to be replaced by digital computers in the 1960s
No, most computers today are digital machines. Digital computers operate using discrete binary data, represented as 0s and 1s. Analog computers, on the other hand, manipulate continuous physical quantities such as voltage, current, or mechanical motion. While analog computers were used in the past, the vast majority of computers in use today are digital.
Yes they all do! but not in the 1960s:)
no???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
A dump can refer to various things like a garbage dump, memory dump, or data dump. A garbage dump is a large area where waste is disposed of, usually a mix of different objects. A memory dump is a file containing the contents of a computer's memory at a specific time, often used for troubleshooting. A data dump is when a large amount of data is transferred from one system to another, typically for analysis or storage.

Most computers will be wireless and touch screen...especially the tablet computers will be the most popular devices. The Androids tablets rules.

it is called satisfaction, and it is on most computers:)
search google it contains processor and ram like normal computers
program
They looked like cars in the 1960's!!!!They looked like cars in the 1960's!!!!
With how technology is advancing is very much like you have seen in the movies. They are probably going to be like holograms.
