I don't know for sure the first time, but some newspapers were doing computerized typesetting via linotype machines in the early 1960s.

Did the microchip lead to the development of personal computers?
No, microchips made missile guidance computers possible in the early 1960s. The microprocessor (a specific type of microchip containing a complete CPU) made microcomputers possible in the early 1970s and when microprocessors became powerful enough in the early 1980s, the first personal computers.
IBM series computers from 1956-1963?
The main series of computers that IBM produced in this timeframe was the 700 series of vacuum tube computers, but they began producing the 7000 series of transistorized computers in 1958. Also the first 700 series computers were produced before 1956 and the last discontinued in 1960.701: 1952702: 1953-1954704: 1954-1960705: 1954-1960709: 1957-19607090: 1958-1969
What type of limitations did the first home computers have?
The main limitation the first home computers had was the same as the first mainframe computers had: not enough main memory (RAM) and not enough external storage.
What invention led to computers becoming smaller and lighter?
Ever since the first computer, advances in technology made it possible to maker smaller and smaller computers. The 50's reduced the size of computers drasticly with the invention of the transistor, which replaced the old glass vaccum valves. Jack Kirby, development engineer for Texas instruments is credited with the first microchip, the critical technology for microcomputers, The first one was made in 1958.
Why are the fourth generation computers called digital computers?
Because the first, second, and third generation computers were also digital computers.
When was Manning Publications first founded?
Manning Publications was first started in 1990 by the 2 partners Marjan Bace and Lee Fitzpatrick as a book packaging business by offering a service to technical publishers and also to the IEEE Computer Society Press. In 1992 Manning Publications joined the computer industry by producing the first authoritative book on the Internet technologies.

How is it possible for computers in the twenty-first century to lag?
The same way it was possible in the 20th century. Any computer will lag when it cannot keep up with the demands of the programs running on it.
Where was the first producing oil well located in Texas?
I think that the first producing oil well was located at Spindletop in Texas. I THINK!Answer 2:The first producing oil well in Texas was at Melrose in Nacogdoches County
What topology did Mainframe computers first use?
Mainframe computers first used star topology
Computer built before the first generation of computers were?
No computers.
What computers will used vacuum tubes?
First generation computers.
How many computers did the internet first connect?
Two computers
Which year was a computer first used?
digital computers were first used in 1942 analog computers were first used in about 100BC
Which electronic invention has made possible the use of computers?
That would be the vacuum tube. There were hundreds of thousands of them in the old, original computers. Of course the newer computers depend on the semiconductor junction, invented in 1948 by Shockly, Brattain, and Bardeen. These were the first transistor, and sophisticated electronics these days use the same technology.
