Best Answer

Electronics are required to make computing machines practical because they are capable of performing all of the essential operations (read, write, add, subtract, etc.) with components that take up a very small amount of space. While it is possible to make a completely mechanical computing machine, the sheer amount of machinery required to perform even simple operations makes this type of machine infeasible.
