The early first generation computers could do most of the things modern computers can do, and a few things modern computers can't. Their main limitations were very small memories (modern computers with gigabytes of RAM and terabytes of disk appear to have unlimited resources compared to the early machines) and slow speeds due to the large logic signal swings of vacuum tubes (sometimes up to 200V between low and high).
