Why did the Colossus computer need valves?
the first electronic computers were built before the invention of the transistor or integrated circuit chip. They used vacuum tubes for the processing and temporary memory. In Britain those tubes were called valves.
How much pounds does a computer weight?
The first computer was built and used by the military and took up the space of a large room! this was because of the large amount of vacume tubes needed and the fact that microchips didn't exist back then. Only big ones. really big.

What is the first prototype computer?
The prototype for the Atanasoff-Berry computer was demonstrated in October 1939, it used 11 vacuum tubes. The full Atanasoff-Berry computer (the first electronic digital computer) was finished in early 1942, it used 280 vacuum tubes, 31 thyratrons, and was about the size of a desk.
Did Alan Turing made the vacuum tubes computers?
No, he had to use mechanical gears, etc. because they were the only device technology available in his time. Electric relays were first developed about 15 years after he designed his computer, while vacuum tubes were first developed about 90 years after he designed his computer.
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.

Why the first-generation of computer use vacuum tubes?
The first digital computer that used vacuum tubes was the ABC, completed in 1942 by Dr. John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford Berry in Ames, IA.An early analog computer that used vacuum tubes was the Differential Analyzer, completed in 1929 by Vannevar Bush and a large team at MIT. (there probably were other smaller analog computers of this type that used vacuum tubes before this, so it probably isn't the first but its the earliest where I can find it clearly documented).
How many vacuum tubes in first generation computer?
ENIAC was the first digital general purpose computer, built in 1946, and with 17,468 vacuum tubes. The Illiac I, the first computer built and owned by a US educational institution, had 2800 vacuum tubes. The IBM 604 had about 2000 vacuum tubes.
