What did the first computers look like?

Answer 1

According to me what I think is you can copy this below given Link in Address bar to know more about ENIAC (world's first computer with a Video Clipping)

AnswerThe first ELECTRONIC computer (ENIAC) consisted of several rooms full of racks filled with vacuum tubes, wiring, and relays. You could walk down aisles "through" the computer which seems a strange concept given today's technology! It used a tremendous amount of electricity, generated a tremendous amount of heat, and had frequent failures.

It is possible to argue that Charles Babbage's Difference Engine was perhaps the first computer (though it was mechanical not electronic, see: difference-engine

Possibly the first successful programmable (by wiring), electronic, computer was the Colossus Computer built in Bletchley Park

Roughly like the photo above of the recreation of the Atanasoff Berry Computer, the first electronic digital computer (it was not programmable). The first programmable electronic digital computers were significantly bigger.

Answer 2

technically, the first computer was an abacus...

however, the first automatic number processing computers filled entire rooms and were mechanical.

fun fact: the term "de-bugging" stems from the process of actually removing moths from the mechanical componants of these early computers.
