companies on need a few not thousands
While mainframe computers may be considered outdated, as the processing power of personal computers has increased, consider the following:Mainframes were the first cloud computing - many users working on cheaper low-power workstations, sharing the processing power of the 'big computer'. Cloud computing is somehow considered a 'new idea'.Computing capacity usage can be maximized. Imagine 100 people all with laptops. How much of that computing power sits unused as several of those people check emails, update their Facebook, etc. While others may be crunching some numbers in a spreadsheet, using a large percentage of their individual computer's capacity (even if for a short amount of time).Mainframes and PC's are kind-of analogous to using mass-transit or everybody driving their own car. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages.On a lighter note, we still need to know what the gazillionth digit of pi is, as well as the next 50 thousand digits after that, don't we?
What are the advantages of computers in the business world?
Probably the companies that joined in marketing "personal computers" to consumers. That is when computers became smaller, more easily accessible, and people started to buy them for their homes. Before that, computers were gigantic things that only companies could afford. IBM, Apple, and Bill Gates and his software were some of the people who helped.
Emerging technology is technology based on a new idea that is being tested to determine if it will produce the results it claims, with the ultimate goal that the technology will eventually be mass produced.
all of the above
No. Don't get confused between a mainframe and a server.a mainframe takes up a whole story on a building, sometimes even the whole building.a server (which is mass produced) is basically a desktop computer with some simple modifications
ENIAC was one of the 1st mass-produced analog computers. Mfg: IBM.
The computer was invented by Charles Baggage in 1822. The first time computers were produced on a mass scale was in 1953 by IBM.
By my research the IBM 650 was the first mass produced computers with 2000 of the machines made. I don't know if you would class that as mass produced but that's what research tells me:) ___Another Answer: The first mass-produced personal computer was the Apple II Personal Computer, mass produced beginning in 1977. However, there were predecessors, see below.
Mass production typically creates items that are manufactured in large quantities using standardized processes, such as computers and some types of jewelry. Custom-made jewelry and paintings, on the other hand, are unique creations tailored to individual preferences and not produced in bulk. Novels can be mass-produced in terms of printed copies, but each story is an original work. Therefore, mass production primarily applies to computers and certain types of jewelry.
Mass produced foods are foods that are produced by the thousands.
any PC built in the united states today is built under licensing specs first developed by IBM. IBM mass produced pcs before anybodyTotal utter nonsense! Many companies produced personal computers long before IBM did. IBM sold their entire line of PCs to the Chinese company Lenova and now wants nothing to do with personal computers.
gears are best produced in mass production by
A market for mass-produced goods
The first mass-produced mechanical calculator was made by Charles Xavier Thomas, around 1920. The first mass-produced electronic calculator was probably the Sharp QT-8D, mass-produced in 1969.

The Ford Model T was the first truly mass produced automobile. It is arguably the ultimate Archetype for most complex mass produced items.
