What computers will used vacuum tubes?
First generation computers.
What generation was vacuum tubes used?
first generation computers
Was a Microcomputer part of the first generation?
no, first generation computers used vacuum tubes.
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.
How do you explain the generation of computer with a diagram?
A diagram that explains the generation of the computer can be found on the Scribd website. First generation computers used vacuum tubes.
What was the chief component of first generation computers?
the vacuum tube ( valve) used to store data ( like 50 kilobytes )
What is a first generation computer?
History of computer is divided into 5 generation. The first generation of computer started form 1941 till 1956. In this generation vacuum tubes are used in computers and computers are big enough that one computer could be such big as a whole room.
1st generation of computer?
First generation computers were built with vacuum tubes. The capabilities were about the same as that of modern computers, except limited by very small memories and slow speed. Typical first generation computer memory cost from $2 to $20 per byte equivalent, whereas today's computer memory costs less than a micro-penny per byte.
Which computer is developed in the second generation of computers?
the invention of transistor in 1947 provided a substitute for vacuum tubes in the second generation of computers. computers of this period all used magnetic-core storage systems for memory. -IBM 410 -Honeywell 800
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.
What are the benefits of vacuum tubes?
vacuum tubes help us today with many things. the most important 1 is techology. If we didn't have vacuum tubes we wouldn't have computers. just thik of a life with out computers or t.v. vacuum tubes are also used in radios. so if vacuum tubes hadn't been invented we would not be able to use all the techology we use today.=]
What was the first electronic device used as a switch in the first digital computers?
vacuum tubes
