The main cause of malfunctioning in first-generation computers, which were primarily based on vacuum tube technology, was their inherent instability and unreliability. Vacuum tubes generated significant heat, leading to frequent failures and breakdowns. Additionally, the complexity of wiring and the lack of robust error-checking mechanisms contributed to operational issues and malfunctions. These factors made first-generation computers cumbersome and less efficient compared to later generations.
Second Generation computers. The VAX mentioned above is just a single model of first generation electronic computers.
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.
Second generation computers are often called transistorized computers. The transistorized computers are more advanced computers than the first generation of computers.
Electro-Mechanical Computers were used before first generation of computers.
First generation computers.
No computers.

FIRST GENERATION
no, first generation computers used vacuum tubes.
The speed of computers increased from one generation to the next generation, and to the next generation, and so on.
