There were vacuum tubes before transistors
The Colossus was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and was located in Rhodes, in Greece.
Life was good when colossus was being built but slaves built it
Integrated circuits (in many microprocessor integrated circuits) containing many billions of transistors each.
Rewiring the Colossus computer took approximately six months, with the work primarily conducted between mid-1943 and early 1944. This effort was part of a larger project to enhance the machine’s capabilities for code-breaking during World War II. The reconfiguration allowed Colossus to become more effective in processing and deciphering encrypted messages.
Cassius compares Caesar to the Colossus of Rhodes. One of the ancient wonders of the world, the Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek God, Zeus. He posits that Caesar's arrogance and ambition has led him to compare himself to the Gods.
The Colossus, the world's first programmable digital computer, was operational by 1944, utilizing vacuum tubes rather than transistors. Transistors were invented later, with the first practical transistor created at Bell Labs in 1947. Therefore, transistors were developed approximately three years after the Colossus was built.
Because - when Colossus was built (in 1943), microchips had yet to be invented ! Microchips replaced valves and transistors in newer computers.
put 50p in okay
Colossus worked by holes punched in a paper tape. It was programmed by switches and plugs. Colossus used thermionic valves (vacuum tubes) to perform Boolean and counting operations.
Transistors significantly advanced the development of the Colossus, the world's first programmable digital computer, by replacing vacuum tubes with smaller, more reliable, and energy-efficient components. This miniaturization allowed for increased processing speed and reduced heat generation, which were crucial for the complex calculations needed for code-breaking during World War II. The use of transistors improved the overall efficiency and functionality of the Colossus, enabling it to perform operations more effectively than earlier machines.
using valves
Yes, it does.
using valves
It's no use! I tried it once butt won't work! Because every dharak colossus has a different code!
like any other semiconductor
It depends what number colossus it is
colossus was bulit in rhodes
