the answer to this question is more of opinion then fact, but I would say a netbook (1.6ghrz top of the line) would be about 100 times faster then the first computer.
No. Mechanical computing devices with any similarity with today's computers and the concepts behind them originated from the UK. The first electrical computing device originated in Germany. Then the British created the Colossus to break German codes during WWII, and after that, the ENIAC was created in the US. The ENIAC was faster and more flexible than the Colossus.
The ENIAC was eventually shut down because more advanced, easier to use, and cheaper to operate computers became available.
Computers are increasingly affordable, more powerful, and easier to use.

The actual computers called Colossus were World War II code-breaking computers built in 1943 and 1944 in Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, England. These were the first true programmable computers, and about a dozen were built.The prototype, Colossus Mark I, was shown working in December 1943 and was operational at Bletchley Park by February 1944. An improved Colossus Mark II was first installed in June 1944, and ten more had been constructed by the end of the war. Unfortunately, the secret nature of these computers meant that their innovations were not available for commercial computer development for many years.*The other computer called Colossus is a fictional artificial intelligence from a 1965 novel (Colossus) by Dennis Feltham Jones, which was the basis for the film Colossus, the Forbin Project in 1970
A "colossus" typically refers to something of immense size or significance, often used to describe a person or entity that has a powerful influence or presence. The term originally refers to the Colossus of Rhodes, a giant statue that symbolized strength and grandeur. In a more abstract sense, it can also denote a major figure in any field, such as a "colossus of industry" or "colossus of literature," indicating someone whose impact is monumental.
Gaming computers are built specifically to handle playing the latest video games. They are a lot more powerful. Compared to a regular PC, gaming computers have more powerful processors and video cards to handle the video game graphics.
More Powerful computer are never wrong
The Dhark Colossus, a boss in the game "Old School RuneScape," has a combat level of 650 and a hitpoints value of 2,500. It is primarily encountered during the quest "The Temple of the Eye" and is known for its powerful attacks and mechanics. If you meant a different context for "Dharak Colossus," please provide more details!
the eniac and other computers like to give off so much heat because they use thousands of vacuum tubes that took up lots of space and gave a great deal of heat just like a light bulb does.
because they are portable and as powerful or almost a s powerful as desktops. PS laptops are types of computers.
The biggest changes, I would say, is that computers got smaller and smaller and more and more powerful. (Of course, real computers aren't 100 years old yet.)
