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.
Both used vacuum tubes as their active elements, as did other computers until about 1958.

ENIAC, short for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer.
Because the first, second, and third generation computers were also digital computers.
Electro-Mechanical Computers were used before first generation of computers.
Eniac generation 1940s to about 1958, vacuum tube logic circuits.

Yes, those were first generation vacuum tube computers.

The UNIVAC and ENIAC computers are examples of first-generation computing devices. Computers employing vacuum tubes are known as first-generation computers. THESE WOULD OCCUPY A 1800 SQUARE FEET. IT WOULD CONTAIN 18000 VACCUM TUBES AND CONSUME A LARGE POWER

Second Generation computers. The VAX mentioned above is just a single model of first generation electronic computers.
ENIAC was the First computer that was used to store program.
By most definitions, first generation computers were the ones built with vacuum tubes.
The first minicomputers were second generation computers, but the most well known minicomputers were third generation computers.
Because the first, second, and third generation computers were also digital computers.
